Returning a value from a remote PHP script

[noorodeen]

Hello All,

I've searched quite a bit to try to find answer to this but to no avail.  I am hoping you can help me out here.

I am including a remote script in my code and I want the remote script to return a value.  How can I do that?

Here's the snippet of code:

$var = include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?var1=$var1&var2=$var2';

Now, I have tried to get global variables in file.php, I tried using return $var....

Any ideas on how I can this going?

Thanks,
noorodeen

There are xamples of how to acomplish this in the [url=http://php.net/include]manual[/url].

The examples are of including local php files, not remote ones.

The manual does mention cursorly that you can call a variable from the remote script, but I didn't find that to work....
