    CAN I Include a Remote File in my filesystem ?

    Hello, I did a rough search on the web on how to include remote files. But
    most of what I found was inappropriate. Anyway ...
    What I want to do is create a configuration file wich will have all the DB
    connection settings and other sensitive information (config.inc.php ) and be
    a able to access it within the server AND from a remote server... (e.g. I
    want have all the website settings in my machine but the website is hosted
    elsewhere) or I want to restrict access of my confiuration file from the
    hosting company.

    There are two cases that I am looking at.... :
    1. The config.inc.php file is located in another webserver and can be
    accessed from the www.domain.com/configuration
    2. The config.inc.php is located outside the web accessible folder (and that
    is the most preferable way of doing it) e.g /home/config_includes/

    I would appreciate if you can give me examples of how and If I can do
    that....

    Thanks....
    Angelos.
