Hi all,

Can anyone find a solution for me.

I need to get the value that is diplayed when I take www.domain1.com/test.php and pass it to www.domain2/test.php. For example www.domain1.com/test.php contains this code <? echo "hello" ?>. Now when we take www.domain1.com/test.php in browser hello is displayed. I need hello to be passed to www.domain2.com/test.php , when www.domain2.com/test.php is taken in browser.

Please help me

in domain2.com/test.php add this code.

PHP Code:

<?php

include("www.domain1.com/test.php");

?>

I got the following worked.

PHP Code:

<?php

include("www.domain1.com/test.php");

?>

How can I pass the value returned by include("www.domain1.com/test.php"); into a variable say, $var1 ?

Well if you include(); then all the php from that page is just in essence pasted onto the current page and the variable is still active untill the script is over.

So you should be able to just use that var in this current script.

like say:

PHP Code:

$var = $included_var 

(see how included var is already set)

Best answer I can give =/ sorry hope it helps a bit.

Thanks for the reply!

I used like this, but it is not working.

PHP Code:

<?

$var = include("http://domain.com/test.php");

echo $var;

print $var;

?>

This script is not printing the value of $var

if you only need to take the output of file, use this:

PHP Code:

<?php



ob_start();



include "somefile.php";



$var1 = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();



?>

OR simply :

PHP Code:

<?php



$var1 = file_get_contents('somefile.php');



?>

Hope this will help!

When you include a file from a remote system it is parsed on that system 1st. Therefore, you only "see" any output from that file. Hence, in your example - echo "hello"; in the remote file gives you hello as the result.

You can get the contents of a remote web page/file into a variable, using the file_get_contents() function - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/functio...t-contents.php If this is more than just the output from an echo (ie. a whole web page) you will need to search/parse the resultant string to find what you are expecting to get.

I seriously recommend downloading a copy of the PHP manual for reference. I personally use the chm version. In the above case, on the page for include, the "also see" section at the bottom shows the readfile() function. Readfile reads into the output buffer, but in the "also see" section of this page is file_get_contents, which reads into a string.

Also, browsing and/or searching (the search in the chm version works well) through the php manual will help make you more familiar with the functions available, so you will be able to find basic solutions on your own.

Awesome!!

I was able to get the value in a variable

with the code below and print the vlaue of $var1

PHP Code:

ob_start();



include "somefile.php";



$var1 = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean(); 

Now I need to passthis value into the html code within the same file. Say, I am including two files like this somefile.php (var1) and someotherfile.php (var2) into this php code. Now when I pass var1 as the bgcolor in the html table color should be Red and when I pass var2 as bgcolor the table color shoufl be Yellow. I enter Red in somefile.php and Yellow in someanotherfile.php.

<table border="1" bgcolor=$var1>
<tr><td>Row 1 Cell 1</td><td>Row 1 Cell 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 2 Cell 1</td><td>Row 2 Cell 2</td></tr>
</table>

I hope I am clear enough.

David,

if your somefile.php and someotherfile.php contains only

PHP Code:

<?php echo 'COLOR NAME'; ?>

you should better user file_get_contents() function not ob_start();

not sure i understood you correctly, but maybe this will help:

PHP Code:

<?php



# $var1 will be set to RED

$var1 = file_get_contents('somefile.php');



# $var2 will be set to YELLOW

$var2 = file_get_contents('someotherfile.php');



echo '<table border="1" bgcolor='.$var1.'>

<tr><td>Row 1 Cell 1</td><td>Row 1 Cell 2</td></tr>

<tr><td>Row 2 Cell 1</td><td>Row 2 Cell 2</td></tr>

</table>';



?>
