Accessing a script on a remote server

[Spidah]

I have a script set up on one server which queries the mysql server there
and creates html code with the results. How do I access this and include the
results in a page on another server? Simply including it doesn't work.

Is there a correct way to do this?

Thanks

And it shouldn't. Including only works locally. Otherwise, anyone
could use your code...

Use the readfile() function:

readfile ('http://remote_host.com/path/to/remote/script.php');

If your site supports it, have a look at the curl functions:
