Remote require problem

[Anon]

1st file in my working machine is

<?
require ("http://targetDomain/test_remote.php");
testPr();
?>

2nd file on targetDomain(other machine) is

<?
echo("this is test_remote.php");
function testPr() {
echo("remote : testPr()");
}
?>

When I execute 1st file, it prints out :

this is test_remote.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: testpr()
in 1st file on line 3

I know that the 1st file required the 2nd file successfully because it printed out the echo statement of 2nd file.
However I cannot understand why it cannot use the function of the remote file.

OS : ReaHat 6.0
PHP : 4.0
apache : 1.3

Thank you in advance.

I changed the 2nd file name from test_remote.php into test_remote.txt. Then it worked.
When the file name was .php, I guess, the file itself is interpreted on the remote server, and JUST RETURNED THE RESULT ONLY.
I wonder if I can use the remote require as a normal require, not just returning the result.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply. Actually I read the manual
about require, include, remote file accessing, fopen
many times. However I couldn't get what I want.
I want to make my php script to use the function that
is defined in other file on remote host. If the
example that I mentioned is not bug, there must be a
way to do what I want. Can you tell me how to do that
?

Actually, I tried another way. I changed the extension
of the file on remote server into .txt. Then it
worked. Can you explain to me how this works ?

Thanks in advance.

quick&dirty fix;

open the remote file (as plain text), and save it locally in a temp file (renamed as .php).

require the temp file and then delete it.

nasty, yes. and may not work if there are other considerations like dbase access, but i don't know in your case.
