[Resolved] Store GET result

scraff

Hi,

Ive been having some trouble with the require_once($URL)

I have managed to get the URL so that it appears on a page.

Here is the code

$URL="http://www.website.com/page.php";
require_once($URL);

the page "http://www.website.com/page.php" just displays something like this: ID100909092389
so this then appears where require_once($URL) appears on my page.

what i want to do is instead of it it just appearing there, i want to get the contents (Which would be ID100909092389) and store that as a string. e.g. result=ID100909092389

I have tried

$res = require_once($URL);

but this still prints "ID100909092389" on the page and store $res=1 !

How do i do this?

Thanks

Not 100% certain of what you are trying to do, but it sounds like you need to look into the [man]fopen[/man] or [man]file[/man] functions.

Ok, i want to store the infomation opened with require as $res. But instead it stores 1 which i believe 1=its worked. I want to store the content of the page i am trying to require not the number that says that it has worked.

SO

http://www.website.com/page.php content is just:

ID100909092389

AND SO I WANT

$URL="http://www.website.com/page.php";

$res = require_once($URL);

$res = D100909092389

NOT

$res = 1

Thanks

HI.
If i understood well...i suggest to do this:

Page0.php

$URL="http://www.website.com/page.php"; 
require_once($URL);
echo "$result";

page.php

$result="ID100909092389";

Is this what you want?

If the page.php is instead a txt file or an html only file you can
use this :

$fp1 = fopen("page.php","r");
if ($fp1)
{
	while (!feof ($fp1) && $codiceasci!=13)
	{
	$char = fgets($fp1,2);
	$codiceasci=ord($char);
	echo "char=$char - codiceasci=$codiceasci";
	if ($codiceasci!=13){$percorso=$percorso.$char;}
	}
fclose($fp1);
}

$percorso now have the content of page.php

remark echo that you don t want ..........

When you include a PHP file from another server, that file is executed and its output included in the including script. That's why your script displays "ID100909092389". It stores "$res=1" because "require_once" returned "1" ("true") on account of it succeeded.

The manual says it better, of course:

If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default configuration), you can specify the file to be included using a URL (via HTTP or other supported wrapper - see Appendix L for a list of protocols) instead of a local pathname. If the target server interprets the target file as PHP code, variables may be passed to the included file using a URL request string as used with HTTP GET. This is not strictly speaking the same thing as including the file and having it inherit the parent file's variable scope; the script is actually being run on the remote server and the result is then being included into the local script.

Hi okuto1973,

Thanks for ur replys and TheDefender 🙂

I would have done this, but the problem is page.php (that has ID100909092389) in it is not on my site.

(It is a file that is on a server of another company that sends SMS, and the ID100909092389 is the id of the message sent.)

So I cant edit this file.

THATS WHY ITS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM! :bemused:

Is there no way a veriation of $res = require_once($URL); would work?

See again my post ...i have edited it and suggest also the fopen/fgets method if the file php can't modificated or is a html file or text file........
