php - Include whole content of a file and echo it

Question

I need to echo entire content of included file. I have tried the below:

echo "<?php include ('http://www.example.com/script.php'); ?>";

echo "include ("http://www.example.com/script.php");";

But neither works? Does PHP support this?

Answer 1

Just do:

include("http://www.mysite.com/script.php");

Or:

echo file_get_contents("http://www.mysite.com/script.php");

Notes:

• This may slow down your page due to network latency or if the other server is slow.
• This requires allow_url_fopen to be on for your PHP installation. Some hosts turn it off.
• This will not give you the PHP code, it'll give you the HTML/text output.
