Question

I have a PHP script on a server that generates the XML data on the fly, say with Content-Disposition:attachment or with simple echo, doesn t matter. I ll name this file www.something.com/myOwnScript.php

在另一个服务器上，在另一个 PHP 脚本中，我希望能够获取此文件（以避免“将文件保存到磁盘”）作为字符串（使用路径 www.something.com/myOwnScript.php），然后操作脚本生成的 XML 数据。

Is this possible without using web services? security implications?

Thanks

Answer 1

简单的答案是，是的。

$output = file_get_contents( http://www.something.com/myOwnScript.php );

echo  <pre> ;
print_r($output);
echo  </pre> ;

Answer 2

If you want more control over how you request the data (spoof headers, send post fields etc.) you should look into cURL. link text

Answer 3

如果你使用的是共享主机，你可能无法使用file_get_contents。这主要是因为它是与包含远程文件相同的权限集的一部分。无论如何...

If you re stuck in that circumstance, you might be able to use CURL:

<?php
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "example.com");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);     
?>

It is more code, but it s still simple. You have the added benefit of being able to post data, set headers, cookies... anything you could do with a highly configurable browser. This makes it useful when people attempt to block bots.
