RE: [PHP] How Do I Return Values Across Servers
If I understand you want to be able to get a value from a script on another server. Well I would suggest a really each way would be to do have the calling server call a script on the supplying server using include(); which is supported but please see this page regarding URL fopen wrappers: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Requests for includes and on the supplying server simply output the value like: ?php $answer = 'no'; ? If you do it this way it will be simply included and be available as a variable instantly.

RE: [PHP] How Do I Return Values Across Servers
Yes, I want to get a value from a script on Server A that runs against a
database on Server A, returning that value to a script variable on Server B.
I read the manual but must have missed something. This is what *seemed* as
if it should work:
Server A (containing functions and database)
qotd.php
?php
requireonce('miscfuncs.php');
$qotd= qotd();
?
** qotd()is a f(x) in miscfuncs.php
=
Server B
test.php
... HTML stuff
?php
include 'http://www.servera.com/qotd.php';
echo $qotd . \nbr\n;
?
... More HTML stuff
With this setup I get the following error: Warning: Failed opening
'http://www.servera.com/qotd.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\webdev\kids\homebody.inc on line 27
Any ideas? I know that I am missing something here.
Thanks,
Bill

Well I would suggest a really each way would be to do have the calling
server call
a script on the supplying server using include(); which is supported but
please see
this page regarding URL fopen wrappers:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
Requests for includes and on the supplying server simply output the
value like:
?php
$answer = 'no';
?
If you do it this way it will be simply included and be available as a
