include external file

vtec

Hi,

Is there a way to include an external file into a PHP page?

I know the INCLUDE function requires the path, for example:

path/to/file.html

but I want:

http://path.com/file.html

to be included to my PHP file.

How can I do it?

Thanks

u could just put the http address in include(), not neccessary to use a relative or absolute path.

include ("http://path.com/file.html");

$lines = file('http://www.site.com/index.htm'); 
$info = implode(' ',$lines);

I put this code in it:

$lines = file('http://www.site.com/index.html');

$info = implode(' ',$lines);

I received this error:

Warning: file(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/virtual/site160/fst/var/www/html/templates/about.ihtml on line 28

Warning: file(http://www.site.com/index.html): failed to open stream: Resource temporarily unavailable in /home/virtual/site160/fst/var/www/html/templates/about.ihtml on line 28

Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /home/virtual/site160/fst/var/www/html/templates/about.ihtml on line 29

I don't recognize the error:
file(): php_network_getaddresses:

but the code does work. I missed adding in

echo $info;

Go here to see the results of the same code. I placed this forums url in the code and it loads in my site.

<?php
$lines = file('http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=1'); 
$info = implode(' ',$lines);
echo $info;
?>
