include file - Need for other domains (hard URL code link)

[ozzie01]

Hi,

Any help appreciated.

I'm using a free banner rotation script that serves 120x600 banners.

The following include is used to call the script.

<?php include_once('120x600/viewbanner.php');?>

However, I want to also use this on other domains, but server the script from one domain only.

I have tried using

<?php include_once('http://www.mydomain.com/120x600/viewbanner.php');?>

But it just doesn't work. The page just wont load?

I'm sure there is a way to do this but I don't know how to so I'd appreciate some help, thank you.

Cheers

If you include a file via HTTP, then if the server where it resides recognizes that file as a PHP file, it will parse and execute it there, and output the results of running that script rather than the source code. So, one option might be to rename the file with a suffix which the web server will process as plain text. Or, if the include file does everything automatically, just use the [man]readfile/man function instead of include() when calling it via HTTP.

Hi NogDog,

Appreciate the help, but to be honest I'm still lost 😕

The include file does everything.

If you could give me the syntax to adding the 120x600/viewbanner.php script to:

http://www.myotherdomain.com/

that would be super!

I did try:

<?php readfile(http://www.myotherdomain.com/120x600/viewbanner.php); ?>

All it gave was errors...

You have to quote the URL:

<?php readfile('http://www.myotherdomain.com/120x600/viewbanner.php'); ?>

Hi NogDog,

I quoted the url but it still broke.

Then dropped the www. and it now works...go figures 😕

Anyway thanks for the heads up and the readfile something I shouldn't forget in a hurry...lol

Cheers
