@NogDogApr 02.2008 — #Unless you are accessing a file which you expect to include PHP source code to be processed in place in the calling file, you should not use include() (or require(), either). Instead use [url=http://www.php.net/readfile]readfile[/url] (). However, neither of these may work if the allow_url_fopen setting has been turned off (which is a common security measure). If that is the case, you may need to go the [url=http://www.php.net/curl]cURL[/url] route, or other options such as fsockopen().
In any case, showing us the exact error message(s) being received would likely help to determine what the exact nature of the problem is.
use <?php include ?> to call file on ANOther domain?
Hi
One of my customers has two websites – similar, but one is a more specialised version of the other (GPS products). The main website needs to display products which are mainly shown on the GPS product site – and rather than have 2 product pages the same (which would mean double the administration if/when any products needed changing or amending etc) I would like to have a php page on both sites, which calls the same .htm element into their page – showing the exact same table of products.
My question is this – can I use the <?php include ?> from the ‘other’ site to call the htm file which is actually situated on the ‘other’ domain?
I’ve tried using this exact script “<?php include (‘
Any ideas – do I need to adjust the php in some way, or can it simply not be done??
Thanks for any help
LouPhi – forgot to mention, both domains in question reside on the same server….. if this helps ?)
