Getting web request with GET request in Excel

I found a cool easy way to do a GET request to any website and use any parameters needed.
One method to get code from a webpage and use it is here:
http://scriptorium.serve-it.nl/view.php?sid=40
and another I use is here:
Function testHttpGet()
Dim oHttp As Object
Set oHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
MyUrl = "http://10.0.21.130/test.php?name=mikeqq"
oHttp.Open "GET", MyUrl, False
oHttp.send
'MsgBox oHttp.Status
If oHttpPost.Status < 300 Then
SomeVar = oHttpPost.responseText
MsgBox SomeVar
End If
End Function

Just put this code in a module in Excel and then call it from in the spreadsheet somewhere. So now I can have excel give and get commands from a PHP script and could even act like a cron job by executing every once in a while!
