A long time ago, if you wanted an easy time, you had to use curl extension If your host did not provide it, then you were stuck using fsockopen, which is more tedious and finicky, though very versatile In more recent versions of PHP, they gave you file_get_contents(), which can save a lot of lines of fopen/fsockopen code for doing something simple like getting the content of a file Now, whenever you want to do a simple read of a file, use file_get_contents(). If it is a remote file, you can still get it if your allow_url_fopen in php. Ini is set to true If allow_url_fopen is not true and you can't change it and you need a remote file, then use curl.
Curl can also put things in remote files. File_put_contents() can also put things in files and save some lines of code Use fsockopen when you need to do fancy arbitrary things over a network connection, like wait for a response, send more data, count bytes, connect to weird ports, etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
