I want to read a PHP file located on the same server as the script. Yet, I want to read it as if it is from another server so that it views the HTML output of the file.
But when I read the file using file_get_contents() I just get the PHP Code.
NOTE: if this helps, I`m printing the contents of the file to fckEditor.
use curl
function get_web_page( $url ) { $options = array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle all encodings CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "spider", // who am i CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on connect CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on response CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, // stop after 10 redirects ); $ch = curl_init( $url ); curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); $content = curl_exec( $ch ); $err = curl_errno( $ch ); $errmsg = curl_error( $ch ); $header = curl_getinfo( $ch ); curl_close( $ch ); $header['errno'] = $err; $header['errmsg'] = $errmsg; $header['content'] = $content; return $header; } $x=get_web_page('http://yourserver/the_script.php');
echo $x["content"];
You don't need to read it, just include it using include(), for example:
$includefile="path/to/file.php"; if (file_exists($includefile)) include($includefile); EDIT:
if you need to assign the output to a variable, use ob_start() and ob_get_clean()
ob_start(); include($includefile); $out = ob_get_clean(); Looking at the FCKeditor site, you would use it like this:
$FCKeditor->Value = $out; 
t want to include it, I want the user to be able to edit it using the fckEditor. so including the file wont help.
