RE: [PHP-DB] Re: the body of the response
are you saying that i can grab the output of your echo() statements in YOUR PHP script by Fopen()ing your URL in MY script and then Fread()ing that resulting file pointer? --Yes! That's -exactly- what I've been trying to explain. :) That's the -best- way I can think of retrieving the info from a remote database, unless you allowed remote access directly to the database, which could be a security issue. -Original Message- From: Ken Sommers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: the body of the response thanks CC, are you saying that i can grab the output of your echo() statements in YOUR PHP script by Fopen()ing your URL in MY script and then Fread()ing that resulting file pointer?

(Sorry, forgot to respond to this part before...) Well, technically, you could...but generally-speaking, I wouldn't. Not unless the database was very small, the queries were very simple, and there was good reason to avoid using a DBMS (ex. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Access, Oracle, etc.). Also, if either of you considers the contents of your respective databases to be valuable (or sensitive), then you should consider that what you propose to do is put the entire contents of both databases up on the WWW for anyone to view/copy/download in toto. -- CC -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
