RE: [PHP] Remote include

Greetings Tumurbaatar, That would work- and you shouldn't need any special mime types; URL_fopen must be on and you simply use include() to get the remote file read into the current one and executed. But I highly suggest you find an alternative method- since this can expose you to several security issues. The biggest of which is that if someone can convince your application to include their file instead of yours... you've supplied a remote code execution hack onto the machine. Very dangerous.
