Invoking an html page located in another server

leonespatodos

Hi,

I'm a newbie with php. I'm maintaining this php application we bought and I need to add a script that invokes an html page located in another server. This html page uses some java code to store the variables being passed on through the url. I've tried the following functions:

header("Location: ".$app_reg_url);

echo("<meta http-equiv = refresh content=15;url=".$app_reg_url.">");

and now I've been told to try get_url from the curl library but I can't find any reference on this function. Is there such function? Also,
is there other functions that will let me launch another script in another server and work in the background?

Thanks,
John

Well... Not quite sure what you are meaning by invoking an html on another page... if you are talking about... If you are talking about refreshing TO that page... then it should be fine..

header("Location: $app_reg_url");

as for get_url, never heard of it, but

CURL : http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
URL : http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.url.php

I'm not talking about redirecting to another html page but launch another page(html) that runs in the background in the other server. This html contains a java applet and its task is to store the variables being passed in the url.
