Usage
This function uses the Microsoft Web Browser control rather than a raw socket such as that used in the ph_geturl function. This means that any cookies or other constructs used by Internet Explorer will be available to this function.
In most cases, the ph_geturl function is preferable as it will be faster. However, some websites require the use of cookies and will not return the expected HTML. In these situations, use this function.
