PHP - without http on a client-server model

[mjain]

Hi,

I want to know as to how I can call a remote machine php file without using the HTTP or the HTTPS protocols ?
I want to do this to reduce the overhead on my server.
Do we have any such option???
If yes, what??

Thanks and Regards,
Mayura.

HTTP is the standard way to php communicate over the web. If you want to use another method, you'd have to look for networking software that is supported by PHP or develop your own communications package. That would then have to be installed at the client and at the server. And you can't even predict that this will have less overhead then http.

Do you mean that you want to ban use of http altogether or you just don't want to program all these header() calls?

Is the only reasonable alternative.
