If I want to open a url say, http://google.com I can use file_get_content $content=file_get_content("http;//google.com"); How to do the equivalent using curl, socket, socket, and wget?

Curl would be the fastest. $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://google.com"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'UserAgent'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $content = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);

Using php I would use curl but another way is fopen.
