Viewing my site from another site

Post by giles »

Hi All,

I’ve just finished building my first PHP powered site. Quite a few people like it ... would like access to it .... thing is it’s quite specialist and linking to it leaves it a little to open for my liking right now. The IDEAL would be for them to access my site (and the development that’s on it) from within their site.

I’m a little lost ... is this possible .... where do I start looking to learn how to do it if it is - is there anything you can suggest?

Many thanks in advance
Giles

OK

I have developed a interaction between a number of databases running a series of procedures and a user. The interaction is driven by a simple interface of a text field and five buttons.

A number of people would like to run my developement on their sites, but it gets a bit complex and time consuming to try install it in their domaines. The developement is part of a research project so having it openly accessable as a link is also undesirable.

I'm wondering if there is some way to be able to "embed" my interface in a page their sites and stream the interaction to my site and back again ... would remote access ... or portalling be a correct phrase? If so, where do I start?

you could set up some sort of api I guess... then build a system that interacts with that api via xml or something on the client's server:
