include remote php file?

[B34ST]

Hi I was wondering if it was possible to include a php file which is hosted on a different domain?

 

for example i have 2 domains http://www.example.com and http://example2.com i have a php script on example.com which i want to include in another script on example2.com.

 

I tried to just simply include the script:

 

include('http://www.example.com/testscript.php');

 

but this does not seem to work. When I checked the manual it said that this is possible as long as the php version is greater than 4.3.0 (which mine is on both domains) and allow_url_fopen is enabled ehich it is on both domains.

 

am i missing something? or is there another way of doing this?

I suggest use curl

does curl process php? or just read the contents of the file ie the html output?

[teng84]

i dont know what your talking about but curl reads the page in your page as it is you can use the form of the other site as they are on that site

 

but if you think like use the php code i dont think you can

curl still uses http requests which will send the output html i recommend to add a line at the begining of the PHP file like this

 

<?
if( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://example.com')
{
echo file_get_contents($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
exit();
}
?>

its the variables that i need to grab, would this still work for that?

you could try using local links instead of global.....

 

since when you use global it accesses the html instead of the php

[Rojay]

<?
if( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://www.example.com')
{
echo file_get_contents($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
exit();
}
?>

 

just replace http://www.example.com with the actual URL... the FULL URL

You an only include a remote file if the appropriate url wrappers are enabled. On most sahred hosts, these are disabled.

 

Rojay, Prime and Teng... the op doesn't want the output of a php file, but wants to include a remote php file, two different things.

[Rojay]

the code i gave him will do the same exact thing

 

-only and if only http://example.com tried to access the file, the file will be sent unparsed/raw else send the normal output
