    Hi,

    I would like to know:

    Scenario :
    I've two server different OS A:linux and B:NT under same external domain.I've something that from A to be retrieve by B.
    Example:
    I've a form let say i name it writeppt.php and in the form something like this
    Snippet:
    File from Server B,
    
    <?
    session_start();
    if(   (!isset($_SESSION['userid'])) || (!isset($_SESSION['pass'])) ) {
    	include_once("log.php");
    	exit;
    }
    //<!-- start declare variables -->
    include ("csv_crampler.inc.php");
    [b]$csv = new csv_handler("../apply.csv")[/b]
    
    PHP:
    So, my question is the file in include syntax apply.csv is in Server A so how do i map the path so it can be
    retrieve?

    Regards

    There are two ways of doing this. You could open up an Internet connection through using fopen or file to retrieve the file through using a URL, or you could use the PHP FTP module for connecting through FTP and downloading the file.

    Your best bet is to use something like:

    //get file contents
    $file_contents = file("http://domain/apply.csv");

    //write file contents
    file_puts_content("../apply.csv", $file_contents);

    //use your CSV API
    $csv = new csv_handler("../apply.csv")

    Hope this helps.
