Is there a function similar to opendir() for remote sites?

[casters]

Dear all,
I use a simple routine to provide a sort of "search engine" that scans through all the local html file. The system is base on the use of the function opendir(.). As far as I know, this function only works for the "current" server (where the PHP program is running).
Do you know if there is a similar function that can be used on remote pages?

Thank you

Gaetano

Sorry, I wrote opendir() instead that readdir()!

The only two ways I know of to get a remote directory listing via PHP is by FTP or by hitting a web site that allows directory listing. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Thank you, sleipnir214; so I fear I'll have to renounce to my plan :-(
