calling url as a file?

[Lefu]

hi,

 

A)I used to call my files this way:

include "http://localhost/opened/ace.php?codec=23" ;

I don't use this anymore because (allow_url_include = off)  disabled by the hosting company.

 

B)So I have to use: 

$html =  implode("","http://localhost/opened/ace.php?codec=23");

echo $html;

Gives the php code like echo " hello world";

 

How can I get : hello world.

 

Thanks for your positive input.

It shouldn't do as your pulling it through http which means your webbrowser should be parsing it.. does you page work if you goto it.

 

e.g. type in your browser: http://localhost/opened/ace.php?codec=23

Well that will not work using the implode command in php if you want to get the contents try using fsockopen that should work...

I am sorry

 

B) should have been:

$html = implode("",file("http://localhost/opened/ace.php?codec=23"));

echo $html;

 

my code is stored in the db, hence I need to retrieve it this way.

Try file_get_contents instead.

$html = file_get_contents('http://localhost/opened/ace.php?codec=23');
echo $html;

Ok lets get back to where we started ? what exactly do you want to do ?

[Lefu]

thank you,

 

I code in side the browser, put my code into firebird db, and now I want to retrieve that code and display the results on the browser.

 

I am hoping that you understand where i am,

 

the code i.e

function checkbox($val)

{//purpose of this function is to return the value of a checkbox

if ($val){

  return 1;

}else{

  return 0;

}

}

echo checkbox("yes");

would give 1, since this is in the db, I want to see 1 on my browser not  the actual code which produced 1.

 

at the moment

 

B) is giving the code not the results of it.

 

I can use curl functions and write things in the a php file then include that file but it would be violating many laws, like response time.

 

I believe there is a way of calling url as a file, I don't know the way.

Ahh I get it actually it should not... maybe because your using localhost it is... but on a full fetched domain it should not unless your using shortags "<?" and your server is configured for "<?php" tags it will not show the source code... have you tried using file_get_contents
