The body of the response is the data that the http://www.site.com/MovieResponder.php script would produce.

RE: [PHP-DB] the body of the response
MovieResponder.php can generate -anything- you want... HTML code, a serialize()d array, or anything else... By using fopen() to call http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php and fread() to grab the data to a local variable, you're calling the MovieResponder.php script as if you are simply accessing it through a web browser! Whatever MovieResponder.php outputs-- HTML, etc... Will be saved in your local variable for manipulation! Here's an example... Say your MovieResponder.php file takes the $actor and $year variables, and queries MySQL, then returns a list of movies. ... Let's say you called your script through your web browser as http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php?actor=Somebodyyear=1977 And you created MovieResponder.php to give you this response: Movie One 1977 Movie Two 1977 Movie Three 1977 ... If your local PHP script looks like this: $file = fopen(http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php?actor=; . urlencode($actor) . year= . urlencode($year), r); $data = fread($file, 10240); fclose($file); ... Then if you called your local script with $actor = Somebody and $year = 1977, when it is called, your $data variable would contain: Movie One 1977 Movie Two 1977 Movie Three 1977 Easy as that!
