include using http://

[*]

i am using include("http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/db.php"); to include
a file. It isnt returning anything or connecting to the database (which is
what it is supposed to be doing).

any ideas? if i put in the path to the file it works, but I need it to do it
over http the rest of the code is being run over a symbolic link and I need
different connections per website.

Re: include using http://

If you use include with http://, then the included file contain the result
after interpreted. What I mean is the php parser will see the included file
as you see it in browser http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/db.php

Re: include using http://

you could do such
echo "database=dbnam e";

but just a note that the including page, you have to play with it and make
some workaround, why dont you just include it without using url ? Can you
explain me your situation, maybe I can suggest you a better solution.

Re: include using http://

OK

i want to have two (or more) websites on a server that use exactly the same
code with only a couple of small differences in the site title, site id
number (for database purposes). I did try using symbolic links but it didnt
work very well.

Bad idea. Use include('db.php ') instead. There is a HIGHLY
insecure workaround. Rename your db.php into db.txt and

include('http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/db.txt');

It will work, but your code (including database passwords) will be
visible to anyone who by chance stumbles into your text/PHP file.

Which is exactly how it is supposed to work.

No you don't.

So figure out a way to include() files by their local filenames
per Web site.

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
{
$site = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
else
{
$site = 'default';
}
require_once('s ettings_'.$host );

Offcourse you expand this to find differences between http and https,
ports numbers, ...

Re: include using http://

If you have access to the webserver you're reading from you
could rename or copy the "config" file to a text file such
as:

http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/db.txt

That way apache won't execute it - it would just display it
(the code) as plain text.

Having said that, anything that can be read in by "include"
using "http://..." can also be read by prying eyes. It may
be convenient, or a "neat" trick, but it would not be a very
good solution for a "real world" application.

Re: include using http://

If there are on the same server, you can use include() with full path to the
file
web1 : include("/home/user1/website1/file.inc")
web2 : include("/home/user1/website1/file.inc")

If not, they you must play with javascript
web1 : <script src=http://www.site1.com/js/stuff1.php>
web2 : <script src=http://www.site1.com/js/stuff1.php>

in stuff1.php, you can write something like:
<?php
echo "document.write (\"".time()."\" );";
?>

Re: include using http://

Or include using include() but some server block include() using file on
another server, so I prefer script src when the application is distributed.
