Hi,

Trying to create something pretty simple in PHP but it's not a language
I've used much. I've created a little php script that simply queries a local
SQL database and returns some data. Fine, works great when I navigate to the
php file on my webserver.
However I want this text to display in other webpages, i.e. on peoples
websites. How, using only HTML, can I include my PHP script onto an existing
page?
i.e. I give them a snippet of HTML to paste into their page which calls and
the PHP script.

Can this be done? Was I clear? Thanks,

distant

That seemed great! So I tried

<IFRAME src="http://www.myurl.com/view.php?nickname=distant" width="400"
height="500" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1"</IFRAME>

But it didn't work, nothing displayed :(

Neither did

<OBJECT id="http://www.myurl.com/view.php?nickname=distant">
</OBJECT>

or

<OBJECT data="http://www.myurl.com/view.php?nickname=distant">
</OBJECT>

I'll keep fiddling but any hints would be great 'cos I can't see myself
getting anywhere atm!

Doh :)

Thanks, now it works when I have that standing alone in a test.html file
local to my PC. But it doesn't work when I try to include it in a more
complex page (one I don't own).
Weird! .. well, annoying.

Dunno? I can include other HTML tags on that site without problem. Like
inserting an "a href" or "img src" when I want to.

check for "Navigate Sub-frames Across Different Domains" and this is
not a PHP question but a browser/html question.

I'm afraid not. I'm not sure if you mean for me to configure IE on my PC or
the web server over which I have no control ..
If it's the former I couldn't do it anyway, not really. Or I'd have to
instruct everyone using the script to do that and that's not feasible.

Thanks for replying. I'm open to any alternatives.. surely this must be
done a lot ..

you can't expect people to run insecure settings.

Read the file in PHP, strip out the body then place it in some text
container.
