Dear Luyen Tran,

I've just had a test and it works perfectly for me.

This is my code:

<?php
$file = 
'http://dir.gigablast.com/World/Catal%C3%A0/Economia_i_empresa/Serveis/Arts_i_entreteniment';

$r = fopen($file, 'r') or die('Cannot open file!');
$read = fread($r, 1024);
fclose($r);

print $read;
?>

Make sure that your webhost allows remote fopen connections or if it 
allows the fopen function at all.

Hope this helped.
