I've been trying to retrieve the contents of a webpage (http://3sk.tv) using file_get_contents. Unfortunately, the resulting output is missing many elements (images, formating, styling, etc...), and just basically looks nothing like the original page I'm trying to retrieve.
This has never happened before with any other URLs I have tried retrieve using this same method, but for some reason, this particular URL (http://3sk.tv) refuses to work properly.
The code I'm using is:
<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://3sk.tv');
echo $homepage;
?>
Am I missing anything? All suggestions on how to get this working properly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time and consideration.

Return Values ¶ The function returns the read data or false on failure. This function may return Boolean false , but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to false . Please read the section on Booleans for more information.
Short answer: No. file_get_contents is basically just a shortcut for fopen, fread, fclose etc - so I imagine opening a file pointer and freading it isn't cached.
The file_get_contents() reads a file into a string. This function is the preferred way to read the contents of a file into a string. It will use memory mapping techniques, if this is supported by the server, to enhance performance.
Thats normal behaviour, as you are only grabbing the file, and not related images, stylesheets etc...
