newbie looking for help

[tourbike]

hi I am just learning php and I am stuck on a problem

 

basically I have two php programs running on different websites but i want to include one into the other I can move the programs into the same root directory using the

 

include( dirname(__FILE__) . "/file.php");

 

but i want to change this to

 

include( "http://www.example.com/file.php");

 

where www.example.com is a remote or separate site as i only want to include the file.php

 

how can i make this possible with just line of code ????

 

I have looked at the manual but seem to be lost

 

thanks for any feedback

You can't include remote PHP scripts, if you try that it will only return what the script generated. The only thing you can do is store a local copy of the script you want and include that.
