SSI Include file held on another server...

[flo55y]

Hi Folks,

I want to be able to include content from a file in a webpage. I'm currently using SSI Include and that is working great when the file to be included is on the server where the web page lives.

However, I have a requirement to include content from a file held on another server. The SSI Include command doesn't appear to support this unless I'm reading it wrong (which I could well be). When I try virtual or file in the include statement, it won't resolve to a file outside of this server.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? It's really driving me up the wall - such a simple thing to want to do.

Many thanks, Flo55y.

I'd ask this in the forum for whatever web server you are using. Chances are you might need to do some server-side scripting.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi Folks,

Everything is working beautifully now. Thank you.

Just to let you know and anyone else that's looking to do this sort of thing how I resolved it.

I made use of the following php code...

<?php
include "[URL unfurl="true"]http://example.com/directory/file.ext";[/URL]
?>

and dropped this into my webpage.html code. I then renamed wegpage.html to webpage.php and it worked a treat!

Thanks once again.
Graham.

One day we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject...
