Thread: How to include from one file?

Hi,
Is it possible to do the following.. So from one site to another or to file on server...

Like this:

PHP Code:

<?php include "http://site.com/file.php"; ?>

Or:

PHP Code:

<?php include "public_html/file.php"; ?>

So that I only need to update one file instead of 3 zillion?

Yes, for example I use:

Code:

<? include("/www/dynamic/title.txt"); ?>

which - if I want to add some kind of huge thing to my title tag in a month or something it's no problem.

Great, so <? include("/public_html/topsites.php"); ?> should work?

Probably going to need to do the full dir, /home/user/public_html/topsites.php - as how you said would make it more dependent where your including from since it's not the full dir.

Alright, thanks a lot!

If you're using add-on domains... You can use the following:

PHP Code:

<? include("../topsites.php"); ?>

The ".." means to go up one directory.

Charles,
Yes that is correct and to go one step further if you are pulling everything from another Add on domain.

<?php
include ('/home/YOURMAINDIR/public_html/YOURDOMAIN.COM/includes/fb.php');

Where YourDomain.com is going to be the add on you are pulling it from..

You shouldn't actually need that part. You would only need to include the full path, if you were to have a '/' before the add-on domain folder.

PHP Code:

<?php include("YOURDOMAIN.COM/includes/fb.php"); ?>

That should work equally well.

I gotcha.......

If your host has allow_url_open and allow_url_include enabled in php.ini, you can even do this:

Code:

include 'http://www.example.com/file.php';

Unfortunately, those settings are somewhat unpopular due to the number of Remote File Inclusion exploits.
