I'm hoping once you understand the question, the
"bogus" nature of the question will go away.
According to the php "include()" manual, and
in my own experience, it is perfectly valid to
request that a remote file be executed as php,
using include() or require(). One need only
compile using "URL fopen wrappers": (manual quotes in [[[ ]]])
Maybe I'm just dense, but if this is what you need to have happen
(execute the code on the remote server and pass back the data), then
why not use fopen() or file() instead of include(), and echo a
serialization of your retrieved data? For instance, something like:
--main.php--
<?php /* -*- mode: c++; minor-mode: font -*- */
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$fp = fopen('http://shanna.outlander.ca/~torben/phptest/includechild.php', 'r');
$retval = fread($fp, 200000);
fclose($fp);
$returned_data = wddx_deserialize($retval);
print_r($returned_data);
?>
--includechild.php--
<?php /* -*- mode: c++; minor-mode: font -*- */
mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
mysql_select_db('somedb');
$result = mysql_query('select * from sometable');
$return_data = array();
while ($return_dat a[] = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {}
echo wddx_serialize_value($return_data);
?>
Now, I'd not like to speculate on what you might want to do to that to
decrease the security risks, but the general idea works. Could use
some error checking, too. ;)
Is this something like what you wanted?
