Including remote HTML file

Question

I'm working on a project and I want to include an HTML script which will hosted on Pastebin.

Something like:

include 'http://pastebin.com/raw/testiungshdhd';    

I tried

fgets(fopen('http://pastebin.com/raw/asdasddaqwe', 'r'));   

But negative.

Answer 1

First you need to enable setting php.ini file as:-

allow_url_include=On

Then there are couple of possible ways to achieve it:

Method 1:

<?php 
    include("http://pastebin.com/raw/asdasddaqwe"); 
?>

Method 2:

<?php 
    echo file_get_contents("http://pastebin.com/raw/asdasddaqwe");
?>

DO this only if you trust remote source file which you are trying to include.

Answer 2

Try cURL:

Basic example:

$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
