include file for several domain on the same server

include file for several domains

[samuel_ado]

hi,

i have several domains on the same server and i want to use include file..
for example ;

abc.php at [abc.com...] and i want to use abc.php file at other domains.. can i? and how?

thanks in advance

[coopster]

Yes, possibly. If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default configuration), you can specify the file to be included using an URL via HTTP:

include 'http://www.abc.com/abc.php';

However, Windows versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3.0 do not support accessing remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled.

[jatar_k]

you can include by absolute path

include "/home/mysite/www/abc.php";

[coopster]

True. I assumed this was on a shared (hosting) server. In this case, wouldn't there be authorization issues? I've never tried it.

[jatar_k]

There may be but it is always worth testing out. It also depends if they are all in the same section of the tree. Sometimes multiple sites are all accessible through one master dir and then you can throw the file in the root of that and share it across all of the sites in there.

[coopster]

It's an interesting thought. I know a place where I can test this. I'll give it a whirl tonight/this weekend and post findings in this thread.

coopster: True. I assumed this was on a shared (hosting) server. In this case, wouldn't there be authorization issues? I've never tried it.

it should work. on most virtual acounts you "own" everything from your user root on down. and in PHP you can access files through the directory tree itself. in this case you could use something like:

include( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/script_location/script_name.php" );

and you shouldn't have many problems. i use "about the same" construct for pulling ad material from a central domain.

hi again,

<?
include ("/home/mysite/public_html/abc.php");
?>

it is working and thanks for your help...

i am wondering ;
can we get out any table or link or some words from include file for example ;

"/home/mysite/public_html/abc.php";

i want to get out a link from abc.php
is it possible? & how?

thank you guyss

[coopster]

i want to get out a link from abc.php

What do you mean by this?

[jatar_k]

Do you mean opening the page and parsing through it for a particular link?

[samuel_ado]

abc.php has 30 links and i want to leave 2 of them when i call it by include file
for example..

abc.php is a link page at mymainsite and i want to use it on my other site (my2site) with include file
/home/mymaindomain/public_html/abc.php = [my2site.com...]

and i don't want 2 links from abc.php and need rest ogf tme (28 links) to be places at [my2site.com...]

hope it is okey with my poos english

[jatar_k]

You could have a conditional in the file to be included.

<?
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "www.abc.com") {
?>
<a href="http://www.whatever.com">link 1</a>
<a href="http://www.whatever.com">link 2</a>
<?
}
?>

[samuel_ado]

hi jatar_k and thanks..

it is www.samuelaaaaa.com/link/europe.php

europe.php is as follow ;
---0000---
<?
include "inc/up.html";
include "/home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html";
include "inc/down.html";
?>
---0000---

and i want to get out a link from europe.html <a href="http://www.123.com">www.123</a> - your choice on the web.<br>

should i do ;

<?
include "inc/up.html";
include "/home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html";
include "inc/down.html";
?>
<?
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "www.samuel.com") {
?>
<a href="http://www.123.com">www.123</a> - your choice on the web.<br>
<?
}
?>

I think what you want, and what jatar_k is saying, is to change /home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html to a PHP page and include your conditional statement in there.

[jatar_k]

exactly as coopster said

the absolute easiest way I can think of is to put it right in the file you are including

include "/home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html";

maybe rename this file as
europe-content.php

and then have the if statement inside of it.

[samuel_ado]

hi guys...

:o( it is not working....

[jatar_k]

you have 30 links in the included file

around the two you dont want did you put the if statement

code?

[samuel_ado]

<?
include "inc/up.html";
include "/home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html";
include "inc/down.html";
?>
<?
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "www.samuel.com") {
?>
<a href="http://www.123.com">www.123</a> - your choice on the web.<br>
<?
}
?>

[coopster]

1. Make a copy of /home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe.html
2. Rename it to europe-content.php
3. Edit europe-content.php by adding the conditional statement mentioned by jatar_k earlier. Make sure it is surrounding the links you want included.
4. Save your work
5. Update your calling program to include the new link:
   <?
   include "inc/up.html";
   include "/home/samuel/public_html/data_linksold/europe-content.php";
   include "inc/down.html";
   ?>

That should do it.
