Include Problem

[whitebread]

Hi,

I have an excel file store on another server other that my web server. Is it possible to include a file in a PHP web page that is in another server on the same network?

I think this depends on that other server settings.
If is permitted. And if user have access to folders.
Otherwise it is possible to do with a php script.

One way would be to [man]ftp[/man] functions to connect to other server, download to web server and serve to user. Other than that you could have web server on excel storage computer. This web server would respond only to local address. Then you could acces the files via url wrappers and serve it with the help of main webserver (using readfile for example);
