PHP Embedding?

[Logicus]

Let's say I have site1.net and site2.net both on the same server, and I would like site2.net to take content directly from site1.net/index.php?page=site2, but I don't want to have to use a redirect, because site2.net should remain somewhat autonomous from site1.net.

Is that possible?

You can do an include if your php allows fopen:

$var = fopen("http://site1.net/functions.php", "r");
$rav = fopen("http://site2.net/includefile.txt", "r");

etc

Thanks! I'll have to try this later today.

Iam sowhat glad that this isn't working

If that would work I could just fopen vbulletin.com's config.php and have some fun with it..

fopen just grabs whatever the page's content is you want to grab.


Let's look at an example:

You have a php script which echoes 'test'. When you fopen it you'll get 'test' as a string.

But you just get the output and not the sourcecode of your test php file.

If you try to include a php-file which has no output (a file with database information) fopen will return an empty string.

Yes, that makes sense... I think...

For now, I decided just to copy and past the html and have a static frontpage on the secondary site, but I think it might also be possible to use one big iframe and have everything target=index. However, that's a little more tricky that I'd like, so I'm not going to try it for my current project.

You trying to use one config.php to drive two sites?

Isn't this what the user wanted to do? Grab content from site1 on site2 and vice versa?

So why are you going on about grabbing the config.php from this web site??? I know I called the name functions.php in my example.
