php functions from another server

[daydreamer]

I have two web servers, one linux, one windows.

 

How do I run a script on the windows one, which then calls a function from a php script from the linux one?

 

I want the function to execute on the linux machine, then return a string to the php script running on the windows server.

 

I have read that including the file wont work, because they are different servers.

 

How do I go about doing this?

 

Thanks.

i think the only way really is to use a cURL request from the windows server to the linux server.

but that will put your load time up as it has to make a HTTP request.

yeh thats what i was thinking just after i posted. I dont think load time will be any problem as they are on a LAN.
