Using "curl" and fetch the page u want then parse it according to your display needs. II. If website supports RSS Feeds just call the rss - xml and parse it according to your display needs III. If website supports web services use REST services to get the content from the web service provider. On this 3 methods you can choose any of them depending upon the site from which u r getting data or depending on your knowledge on those concepts. If you use curl then u need to know regix pattern matching to parse data. The rest two can be parsed by using xpath. You can do this in different ways as explained below

In post.php, add each post to array and then echo the array contents to output the posts. Then include post.php in homepage.php. post.php ------------- $post = array(); $post[0] = "<h1>Post #1</h1>This is post #1"; $post[1] = "<h1>Post #2</h1>This is post #2"; $post[2] = "<h1>Post #3</h1>This is post #3"; foreach ($post as $x) { echo $x; } echo "<h1>More posts</h1>More posts here!"; myhome.php ------------------- require_once('post.php'); // Gives you access to all the stuff in post.php echo "Let's see the first three posts:<br />"; foreach ($post as $x) { echo $x; } echo "Stuff on homepage other than top posts."; There could easily be better ways to do this, but without actually seeing how your data is organized I only have one workable suggestion.

post.php
————-
$post = array();
$post[0] = “

Post #1

This is post #1″;
$post[1] = “

Post #2

This is post #2″;
$post[2] = “

Post #3

This is post #3″;
foreach ($post as $x) {
echo $x;
}
echo “

More posts

More posts here!”;

myhome.php
——————-
require_once(‘post.php’); // Gives you access to all the stuff in post.php

echo “Let’s see the first three posts:
“;
foreach ($post as $x) {
echo $x;
}

echo “Stuff on homepage other than top posts.”;

Hope this helps. It really depends on how you are accessing your database….doesn’t matter if it is SQL or flat files, but why not send a url variable to your post.php file like:
