Include a php file that is online - not local

[onemind]

Hi,

Someone asked me to include one of their php files in my code that is hosted on their server. I have done this like so:

include("http://www.xxx.com/clients/provident/level2/includes.php");

$info = return_user_info($_COOKIE["provident_email"]);

echo $info['Last Name'];

But i get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function return_user_info()

Is this even possible? Or do i need to store that include.php file locally?

Thanks

you would have to pull the file from ftp or somthing else.. as when you include the file thru a website it is parsed on their server.
