The code looks OK to me but there could be a number of things stopping this.
First read the paragraph starting "If "URL_fopen_wrappers[/URL]" are enabled in PHP..." (under example 16-6) on the [url=http://us2.php.net/include/]PHP Manual (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php#ini.allow-url-fopen) for the include function.
Secondly, importing a page like this is going to mess up your HTML. For example it may read:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sporting Life - Football: Live</title>
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://www.sportinglife.com/styles/main_styles.css">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="90">
</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#f1f0fe"
>
Chances are this will mess up the look or the page you are trying to include it on.
Next - just including like this is BAD. I think you may be breaking copyright. This will also push up the bandwidth usage of the site you are importing (bad).
I'll keep looking for the correct answer though.
