Possible to include files from my server on another?
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 12:44 pm
I have created a web-based tool that takes users through a series of pages and presents them with their results on a results page. It relies on databases stored on my server, and currently resides on my own dedicated server.
I will be licensing the tool to another company to have it be accessible on their website, for their customers to use. I need to be able to edit the code from time to time to keep the tool up to date. Thus, I need to basically include my program's pages (steps) on their server, while keeping the databases and pages on my server (they're many many gigabytes in size). I have an idea of the solution, but don't know if it's possible:
--create all of the pages on their server with only headers and footers (blank space in body)
--Add one include() statement in the body of each page to pull my content from my server into their pages.
--Make calls to my databases for the queries
Is it possible to use include() to pull files from a different server? Also, can I pull database queries from another server? If anyone has a better solution, please let me know. It would be VERY beneficial not to have to physically place my pages on their website, as the tool will be licensed to as many as 100 companies, and I don't want to have to update each company's website every time I change something.
