How can PHP developers effectively integrate external content into a forum without using iframes?

To effectively integrate external content into a forum without using iframes, PHP developers can use cURL to fetch the external content and then parse and display it within the forum page. This allows for more control over the styling and functionality of the external content within the forum environment. 

<?php
// URL of the external content to fetch
$url = 'https://www.externalwebsite.com/content';

// Initialize cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Execute cURL session and store the response
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Display the external content within the forum
echo $response;
?>
