    function getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout, $proxy="") 
    {

        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        if($proxy != "")
        {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 0);
        }
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, realpath('cookies.txt'));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, realpath('/cookies.txt'));
        $result['EXE'] = curl_exec($ch);
        $result['INF'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
        $result['ERR'] = curl_error($ch);

        curl_close($ch);

        return $result;
    }

    $url = "www.targeturl.com";
    $referer = "http;//www.google.com";
    $agent = 'Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)';
    $header = 1;
    $timeout = 15;


    $result = getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout);

    //$result["ERR"] contain errors if any one
    //$result['EXE'] have the html of traget url you supplied in $url variable
    //$result['info] have information.

    you can use it like this

    if(empty($result["ERR"])) // no error
    {
    echo $result['EXE']; //html of target url
    }
    else // errors
    {
      // do something on errors
    }

// $proxy is optional // if you want to open target url through a proxy use it like this

    $proxy = "120.232.23.23:8080";
    $result = getPage($url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout,$proxy);
