about require function.

[ted_chou12]

can require accept full url address? eg. htp://test.com/test.php
because it didnt work for me, by the way, what i am trying to require is a mail.php script, so if that maybe the problem, please let me know, thanks

If you include an external address, you will only be including the HTML source of it. The php file has to be in the local server in order to include the source of it.

what if i urgently need the mail php function but my host server does not support it? What i was trying to do previously was to get the current page to include the mail function on another host server that supports it. But now it doesnt seem to work so i want to find another way out
Thanks

Can't include it but if someone had a generic script out there you could call it with your data.


For example assume there is a script that sends email that sits on a different server.

http://something/[email protected]&[email protected]&subject=Something

You could could assign the varialbes and call the script assigning your own variables.

$from = "[email protected]";
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "testing123...";
header("location: http://something/send_email.php?from=$from&to=$to&subject=$subject");

Likewise, you could set your html form to post to that url....

Dunno that you'll find such a generous script out there though...

hey, thanks, but cant i make one by myself, like:
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
$headers .= "From: myname<$from>rn";
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$return>";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
I upload this to the server that works for mail script, and then assign the variables through either the url or session will do.
This is a great idea, thanks :D
