Including an offsite file with SSI

Avochelm

Hi, I have a server that does not support PHP or MySQL, and I would like to "include" a PHP file from my server (because I can run PHP on it and not on the one I am working with).

I would like to know if there is any way to do this with SSI (as the server supports it)? I tried the following:

And as I expected it didn't work. Is there another way of doing this?

This is the server in question:

Thanks! :B

say your php script is at http://phpserver.com/script.php - have the script output in javascript rather than html

echo "document.write('Hello World');";

then, in your html page...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="http://phpserver.com/script.php">

and you can have the php script put output into your html page. You can also use query strings and stuff like that

Thanks, that's a good alternative - I will give it alot of consideration. I was also thinking of using XML (a good reason to learn it). More suggestions for an SSI method are still most welcome! ;D

I have an events program that needs updating. The people that are responsible for updating the program are not computer literate. I want to design an administration panel where the people responisble can update the program and store it in a database.

The problem comes is that the server does not support PHP, nor a MySQL db, so I wanted to do it on my server and include the output with SSI, because that's enabled.

My other options are now using XML or JS feeds.
