2 (or more) PHP scripts talking to each other?

[aximbigfan]

I was just thinking about some cool things that may or may not be do able in PHP.

 

One thing I though of, is, is there a function so that multiple PHP scripts can talk to each other, to plot to take over the world Exchange data?

 

for example, something like this:

 

 

if (call_php("http://echo/echo.php$getvars")=="true"){
echo "hello!";}

Do you mean include()?

[redarrow]

is he on about a function on a function.page then included dont no..........

[aximbigfan]

No, not include, something where the pages can actively talk. Like maybe one script calling a php page, but as it would if a client was requesting it, so instead of code, it is getting something the page generates.

Um, that is exactly what include does. Executes the script and includes the results.

 

If you'd like to capture the output into a variable you'd need to use output buffering. eg;

 

<?php

  ob_start();
  include 'file.php';
  $out = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

  echo $out;

?>
