Sorry. Here's the code:

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
$url ="http://www.tamiloviam.com/newsfeed/writerpara.xml";
$ch = curl_init(); // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD
i386; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20021021");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); // set url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept-Charset:
ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7'));
$result = curl_exec($ch); // run the whole process
echo $result; //contains response from server
?>
