You may be able to use fopen (depending on your hosts configuration) to
open remove sites, but an arguably better way is to use the curl_*
functions (start looking in the man page for curl_init).

You can pass in GET parameters to it either way by using the normal
"http://url-b.com/info.php?bar=1&foo=abc" format in either call.

Cheers,
