Executing PHP program on other server

[sivak]

Hi
Please any one help me. I want to execute a php script stored on remote server from my php script.

Thanks in advance.

For eg:
I want to post the user details to different php scripts stored on diff servers

Why don't you use forms or don't pass variables via URL? Did you try it and it did not work? It should work, IMHO.

Use the link, like include/header function to call other php script, or use link via html like <a href=" ... "></a>

You can use fsockopen(hosr,port...) and send get request and
receive the response from remote host

P.S:CURL is the better for such tasks. Read the manual on www.php.net

I've got a similar situation where I want others to call my php.

I'm going to give them a url and variables to call and return a blank page with a form and two hidden fields (status and a validation code).

The values in the hidden fields is their output. If they needed more I'd just add extra hidden fields.

The beauty of this is I don't have to install anything extra, I don't have to worry about what cgi they use etc. Plus the url they call will call other functions so they don't get visibility of my important code.
