Use file_get_contents():
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
By the way... if you're going to be doing a lot of work with Wikipedia's
data, please download your own copy of the database:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
http://download.wikimedia.org/
Not only will your scripts run faster, but it will also take some strain off
of Wikipedia's servers.
HTH,
