Getting Remote Domain Name through Include

mrX

Say I have

Test.php =

<?
include('xxx.com/file.php');
?>

and in file.php, I want to grab the domain that test.php is located and not file.php.

the file.php would generate a image depending on the domain name where test.php is located, so how would I find the domain name of the test.php file..

If you are including the file, you have the domain!?

mrX

noooo

the test file is on

xxx1.com

the included file is on xxx2.com

i want the xxx2 file to be able to read the domain name of xxx1.com

Wouldn't you need fopen or curl to pull this off? Your include is likely bound to only your domain...I think.

mrX

well what i want to do is have <img src="mysite.com/file.php"> and have file.php grab the domain from which the img is located

Sorry, but I think you cannot INCLUDE a file that way: Across domains the code will be processed. So you will not include the code in the PhP code, but through the HTML, right?
Otherwise it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

mrX

but at like

http://google-pagerank.net/

for instance, you can just put their image on your site, and it loads your pagerank just by having it included...

Are you comparing placing an image in your html to an include()?

Read our responses again...you can't use an include like that. And then re-read my response because this is how I do it.

mrX

i am refering to image now, not include

$host = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

the script being called is included by a regular http request so you have access to these same $_SERVER variables.

another secure way to do this would be having file2 on server 2 check who's trying to view it. if the address is not server 1 then it will display a fake remote address if it is server 1 then it would be fopened and display the correct Remote address of server 2. or you could use php to invoke ping and take the IP from there. Very Strange Question Why the F#@K would you want to do this???

Probably has to do with a remote user stats system or something. Or perhaps a anti-leaching script for a picture album.
