PHP Include wont work!?

For some reason this wont work.. Index is jsut returned blank ... Hmm

Index.php :

<?php
include("http://www.website.com/cookie.php");
?>

PHP:

Cookie.php:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE["background"]))
  $background = $_COOKIE['background'];
else
  $background = " bgcolor='#FFFFFF'";
?>

PHP:

It works perfectly if I just enter the code without using a include ...

 

You can't include remote files like that - as long as it can be accessed localy, the following code should work.

<?php include("cookie.php"); ?>

PHP:

 

EDIT: Sorry I was thinking of something else....

 

As someone has said you can only include something that is on the same server.

 

Of cource!

Thanks alot guys!

 

u can't include whole url. try:
<?php include("cookie.php"); ?>
