help with fopen()

[bsv77]

I need a remote server to send me some data and was thinking I needed to do it with fopen(), although I am not real familiar with it.

I assume the remote server could call
fopen("mypage.php",'r'); and then that would open up mypage.php in the background and execute whatever I had on that page. Do I need to do anything special in teh mypage.php file or does it just excecute whatever code I have there? Is this correct? If not, how could I get someone to pass variables to a page that I will hten use to insert into DB.

You could just use [man]include[/man] or [man]require[/man] like

include ('http://phpbuilder.com');

The company that will be sending me data made me use fopen() to kick new user info to them and now they need to kick me back test data. I am assumming they will want to do the same. Once a user takes a test on their server, I need to get results to me so I can insert into my DB.

Thanks in advance
