Need help: PHP include alternative

Hello!

I moved last night to another web host and they do not allow php include I used, like this:

1 - my index.php was like this:

<?PHP
  include ("http://www.sitename.com/product_list.php?affiliate_id=1");
?>

Code (markup):

2 - I had pages like: cheap-medicine.php where all code was like this:

<?PHP
  include ("http://www.site.com/search.php?search=medicine&searchb=Search");
?>

Code (markup):

Can someone, please, help me to find alternative for those two problems?

Thanks!

 

Hello,

I'm not a php whiz yet, but here are the reasons that pop up to my mind:

1) Passing an url into include() may return an error because what you actually want to include is a file (source code), that is include('search.php?etc ...)

2) With respect to the above, I guess the $_GET variables won't get through as this method is more like a http protocol but what you want to refer to here is a file.

3) Why not try to first define two variables $search and $searchb (containing the appropriate inputs) and *then* call the include('search.php') ?

But then again im a php newbie so ...

 

What do you mean they don't allow php include? Can you use PHP?

 

Yes, I can But php ini says

allow_url_include Off Off

I presume that is reason why I cant use "external" - http include.

 

I would follow the 3 suggestion from julien_santini

 

I am complete newbie for php


Anyway, rep adding for any constructive answer!

 

function get_content($url) {
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);		
	ob_start();
	curl_exec ($ch);
	curl_close ($ch);
	$string = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();  
	return $string;   
}
			
$content = get_content ("http://yoursite.com/wordpress/?page_id=3");
echo ($content);
