incuding external file

[edpudol]

I use the following code to call my php script from my other site.

include ("http://www.sourcesite.com/dir/myfile.php";
//then call the function display()
display();

But when I use this code in the source:

include("myfile.php");
//call the function display
display ();

This code works on the server where I call the inlude file.

How should I call external PHP file?

Thanks

When you include a foreign file, and it's of a type that the other server interprets as a PHP file, it will be run on the other server and the results included into your calling file. If you can rename the other file, give it an extension that doesn't cause the other server to run it through the PHP interpreter, such as ".txt". And let us know if it works. 🙂

Yes if you rename it into txt it works but the problem is that the other server won't allow me to open the mySQL database stored on that server.

Is there other way?
