"PHP - file_get_contents problem on freeola website"

Help please...
I'm trying to read in a rss file using php.
I can't get this to work on my freeola website.
This is the code I'm using...

$file = "http://www.thelocal.se/RSS/theLocal.xml";
$filetext = file_get_contents($file);
?>

I get this error...

Warning: fopen(http://www.thelocal.se/RSS/theLocal.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied

The remote site file loads fine when I type the url direct in to my browser.
The code works fine when testing on another server, but it won't work when uploaded to my freeola webspace.

Am I doing something really stupid?
Have freeola blocked this method of getting files from other websites?
Has anybody been able to get round this?
Thanks in advance to anybody who can solve this.

Trying to get an answer on this, keep this channel tuned.

Sorry, 'tis not possible either method.

It's all security related I'm afraid.

Thanks for all your comments folks.
Looks like this is a dead end on freeola.

oh flippin heck just spent the last hour or so getting an rss feed working perfectly on my test machine and now i read this!!!!

I would swear, but im holding back :)
