All you need to have in the page is this code:

you don't need this either:

Since it's a remote server, it's quite lilely that they've disabled
fopen wrappers. It can be a security concern for hosting providers. All
you can do is ask them if they allow it, they should be able to tell you
but I really doubt that they do.

You can check what they have configured php for by running this in a page:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

That should give you a pretty page with a lot of information about what
is available for you to run through php.

Good luck!
