make local copy of external RSS file

Hi All,
I hope someone can help.
I need to use php to create a local copy of an RSS/xml file on my server.(In conjunction with cron events)
I don't need the xml to be parsed, all I need is to make an exact copy of the RSS file.
I'm not sure how to achieve this task, I've looked at fopen(), and copy()
to no avail.
Thanks in advance if you can help me with this task
Andrew

fopen() is the function you will use - as long as the url_fopen_wrappers are set to true on the other machine.
PHP Code:
 $fp fopen'thefeed.com/thefeed.xml''r' );
$string fread$fp1024 );
fclose$fp ); 

The data will now be bound to the $string scalar. You can write it out to a file using something like ->
PHP Code:
 $fp fopen'filename_to_make_it''w' );
fwrite$fp$string );
fclose$fp );
