[SOLVED] alternative to include?

[dj-kenpo]

I'd like to include a file but the include command won't work cross server (not on my server anyways) and I just want the rendered html anyways.

 

is there a way that I can grab the html and output?

 

I'd liek to avoid curl as it's a high traffic site and I imagine it eats more cpu.

 

basicly I want to create a file pointer

 

eg

 

page.php

<?

$Get_string = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

 

include("example.com/user_pages/page.php?$Get_string");

 

?>

 

except obviously the above doesn't work as include hates get variables.

 

any help loved.

you could use "header" and just re-direct to that page

no, I need the person to stay in their local directory and not get transfered elsewhere. but it was a good idea.

 

mysite.com/page.php

grabs

example.com/user_pages/page.php

 

but no one knows it occured.

 

I don't want to have to update the same file 600 times for different members. nor do I want the file space issues. easier to just refrence the same file with a sort of shortcut.

 

make sense? at all...?

you could add it to a session or a cookie then when you include the file it will grab the session data

try the file_get_content, reads the file into a string, and you can spit it out.

good luck!

file_get_contents seemed like a great idea, I'm on dreamhost and got this

"URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration"

 

anything else I can do?

Use the cURL library.
