Hi,

I was wondering if there's any problems or security issues to be
concerned about if I use cURL to dump a view page into another page on
my site that sits outside of the cake framework?

Here's what I did.

I have the cake app in a sub directory on my domain and the one view
page is being called to display the necessary information for
visitors. I wanted this info displayed on any page I wanted on my web
server (so visitors wouldn't be taken away to some other url and so I
wouldn't have to build my site into a view page within cake). So the
normal site in the root directory had a page I wanted to display this
view on.

www.domain.com/page.php  --- wants to display data from ---
www.domain.com/cakeapp/controller/view/id

I couldn't use a simple include() of course and I didn't want to use
an iframe (like I've done in the past).
So I discovered the cURL function and used that.

My view page is very plain so it doesn't have HTML/HEAD/BODY tags or
anything that might conflict and it simply adapts the styles from the
page it's dumped into which works quite nicely. Viewing the source
then shows a normal page, no problems with validation, looks fine in
all browsers, etc.

Though I'm unfamiliar with cURL and any problems it may bring. Does
anyone know? Is there another or better way to get info from my view
page into other "non-cake" pages?

I mean I suppose XML feeds would work for what I'm doing in this case
(but not in all cases), though that would require more work than this
solution (not a problem if the work is warranted/worth it).

Thanks,

Tom
