[TYPO3-english] Embedding Remote Content into Typo3 CMS Page

Fri Jul 1 16:34:23 CEST 2011

I have managed to follow a tutorial on building an extension on the
Typo3 website, however I cannot seem to understand how to do the Web
Request to the remote server from my PHP script. I was trying to use
the http_get PHP function, but each time I do, Typo3 just gives me a
HTTP 500 error when I view my page.

Any suggestions please?
