include but from a different domain?

I have two domains, but they are on the same server. I was wondering if it's possible to include a file from one of the domains on the other... Doubt its possible as I'm getting... http://www.redandwhitekop.net/test.php

Try this:

Code:

include("http://www.siteurl.com/file.php");

This isn't possible in PHP. Sure, it would be cool to have, but think of what you could do if you did have this. I could write a script which gets the database user name and password from any PHP-based forum software, delete the admins, make my own accounts, remove all the tables, replace words in posts, and cause all kinds of mayhem. I could get the source code to somebody else's scripts. I could do pleanty of other very mean things. Include only lets you include from the local filesystem...

Unfortunately, I can't offer a good solution. If they're on the same server, you could set up a symbolic link/shortcut from one account to another through the filesystem (ln -s under unix). Otherwise, you may be forced to mirror the file/s on both servers, either manually or through some sort of script (or otherwise).

What needs to be cleared up is if you want:

- the output
- or the source
