[PHP] get a facebooksource page

Question

Hi,

for one project, i need to get the facebook source page (html one) via a php application. i try lot of method like curl, file_get_content, change my ini_set, etc.... but facebook never let me get the html result file. Does anyone can help ? for example this page :

ini_set('user_agent', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
$data = file_get_contents("http://apps.facebook.com/is_cool/?cafe_action=album&view=scroll",0);
Print strip_tags($data,"");

Thanks a lot. Damien

Comment 1 : - I need to create 2 application. I want to parse the html code to get some information from one to the other. I don't want to duplicate or take the facebook code. I just want to make a "view source" (like IE or firefox) and put it on a file, without ask my users. When my user is logged in my first application, i just want to is is credential to get the other content.

The reason you're having problems is that the majority of the facebook homepage content is loaded via AJAX. The data is not hardcoded into what your browser renders.

You should think of a different way to accomplish your goals. If you tell us a little more about what you're trying to do, we can probably help you find an alternate method.
