requesting pages with CURL and FOPEN

Hi Guys & Girls,

I'm trying to request the following page: http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/embed.asp?state=0&region=0&key=81923a... and include it into a weather page on my site, as I have limited experience with this page request thing I was wondering if someone could help me.

If you have/know of anyway I can grab that data and display it on a node I would be greatly appreciated, I keep getting blank pages displaying nothing and then I used a code from http://www.nashruddin.com/fetching-a-web-page-from-php-code.html and that gave me errors "URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration" so anyway I have included the code I can't seem to get working (the first one) below.

Thanks in advance,

Sam
