You chould give this a try in a php page:

<html>
<head><title>title</title></head>
<body>
<xmp>
<?php echo file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'); ?>
</xmp>
</body>
</html>

You could replace 'http://www.google.com' with the value of a variable you can set dynamically.

<xmp> is deprecated also you should take care of html special chars so I'd go with:

<pre>
    <?php echo htmlentities( file_get_contents( 'http://www.somewebsite.com/somepage.html' ) ); ?>
</pre>
