Linking to another site

Anon

Hi,

Is there a way to include a page from another site on my site? ex: <?php include("http://www.somesite.com/page.html"); ?>

Thanks,

Brett

Well, you could read the file in to your server, then echo it out like so:

echo join("",file("http://www.somesite.com/page.html"));

There are lots of ways you could do this though. One other I can think of would be to open a socket to the server and manually request it, but this way is just so much easier 🙂

You should be able to do it just like you said:

<?php include("http://www.somesite.com/page.html"); ?>

I tried and it worked from another site. I am trying to pull in a form from another site into my site. I didn't want to use a framed page.

It doesn't want to allow me to include the form page. Maybe is has something to do where the forms are sitting and permissions? I was able to get them from a frameset.

Thanks for your help

A form you say? Can you be a little more specific? Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?

It could be that your server does not have the proper authority to include pages from the server you are trying to include from. There exist pretty advanced features in some servers protecting them from "bandwith theft" :-)
Check up "allow_url_fopen" in the php.ini file... for more info.

the allow_url_fopen is set to 1

I can open one of my other sites, but not the form. It must not allow access using an include file.

What errors do you get? Is there an example we could take a look at? Have you looked att the HTML output code to see that it´s not one of those " or ' errors?
