can't include 'http...foo.php', but can include 'http...foo.txt'

[paul13]

This seems weird, but when I use the following code,

include 'http://www.foo.com/includes.php';

includedfunction();

I am told that it is a call to an undefined function, but
'includedfunction' is on the server.

the following includes work fine, and the run the called function with
no trouble:

include 'http://www.foo.com/includes.phtml';
include 'http://www.foo.com/includes.txt';

all three include.php,.phtml & .txt are on the server and are exactly
identical. I am running php version 4.1.1. Anyone have any ideas?

The include statement is include()'ing the _output_ of
[url]http://www.foo.com/includes.php[/url], not the contents of the file.

To demonstrate thist point, load [url]http://www.foo.com/includes.php[/url] in your
browser and look for your function definitions. Then load
[url]http://www.foo.com/includes.txt[/url]. You'll see the difference.

When you include it using a URL as above, the file is served from the
webserver which parses the php script as it has a php extension. With
the other extensions, the php code isn't parsed. Try looking at the
URL with a browser and you'll see what I mean.

Your include path should be a physical path to the file e.g:
include ('/usr/local/htdocs/includes/includes.php');
That way you can use a .php extension and nobody will see your source
code.

why does include(includes/includers.php) work fine for pages stored on
the same server?

How do I use the physical location for a page on another machine?

'http://www.foo.com/usr/local/htdocs/includes/includes.php'

with whatever is the acurate physical location following the .com?

I sure hope that URL is 404.

When you include a valid external URL you're including what that URL
outputs (should be obvious)? So pull up
'http://www.foo.com/includes.php' in your browser. View the source.
That's what you're including.
surely this is covered here:
