php file_get_contents() shows page instead of html source code

Question

I\'ve got this piece of code, which should fetch the source code of the website.

$homepage = file_get_contents(\'http://homepage.com\');
echo $homepage;
         


        

Answer 1

Either use htmlentities or change the content type.

$homepage = file_get_contents('http://homepage.com');
echo htmlentities($homepage);

or

header('Content-type: text/plain');
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://homepage.com/');
echo $homepage;
