How to echo an external page from your domain

[Rain Lover]

When I embed an external HTTP iframe into my HTTPS page, I get a mixed content error message:

<iframe src="http://www.example.com"></iframe>

To work around this limitation I'd like to echo the external page from my own domain. How should I do that?

 

Thanks!

You can either use PHP cURL or file_get_contents() function to grab the webpage and then simply echo it. :-)

Thanks for the answer, but:

1. I don't know how to do it using cURL. Would you mind providing a snippet to use as a template?
2. Doesn't it break the layout when the target page has non-absolute URLs and relative links?

I'd suggest you using file_get_contents, it's easier. However there are tons of examples on Google about how to use curl to get site content, it's pretty easy too.
