For javaScript
you can do
function httpGet(theUrl)
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request
xmlHttp.send( null );
return xmlHttp.responseText;
}
for more details refer to this question[here][1]

for php you can use
$src = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/image.jpg");
Browsers (and Dashcode) provide an XMLHttpRequest object which can be used to make HTTP requests from JavaScript:
function httpGet(theUrl)
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request
xmlHttp.send( null );
return xmlHttp.responseText;
}
However, synchronous requests are discouraged and will generate a warning along the lines of:
> Note: Starting with Gecko 30.0 (Firefox 30.0 / Thunderbird 30.0 / SeaMonkey 2.27), **synchronous requests on the main thread have been deprecated** due to the negative effects to the user experience.
You should make an asynchronous request and handle the response inside an event handler.
function httpGetAsync(theUrl, callback)
{
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
callback(xmlHttp.responseText);
}
xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, true); // true for asynchronous
xmlHttp.send(null);
}
