{fetch} is used to retrieve files from the local file system, http, or ftp and display the contents. If the file name begins with http://, the web site page will be fetched and displayed. This will not support http redirects, be sure to include a trailing slash on your web page fetches where necessary. If the file name begins with ftp://, the file will be downloaded from the ftp server and displayed. For local files, either a full system file path must be given, or a path relative to the executed php script.
