$document_root =

[judith111]

Hi to all,

I have two sites hosted by two different providers. One allows the use of php, the other one doesn't. On the 'php allowed' site I am using a fine php script for a local search machine, and I want to use it on the other site, too. Is it possible to place the php scripts on the one server, but to let it search the web site on the other server???? If so, do I have to change the following line:

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = "/www/domain/kunden/seite/";

and if so, how do I have to change it to give the correct path to another server??

Thanks for your help,
Judith

no; if I understand correctly, document_root specifies where your php scripts are stored on the local server.

if you want to search a remote page, you have to load the other server's page contents into a variable and search it.

you can load remote webpages with file():
$page = file("http://www.php.net/blah.html");

of course, your search script has to know the specific filenames (URLs). since you operate the remote site, too, you do know them and can provide this info to the script.
