The trick, then, is for app B to make its SOURCE CODE available for curl on server A to snatch. http://b.example.com/source_code.php?filename=login.php <?php //really BAD INSECURE code for illustration: $filename = $_GET['filename']; header("Content-type: text/plain"); readfile($filename); ?> On server A: <?php include "http://b.example.com/source_code.php?filename=login.php";; ?> Or you could use curl to get the code and eval it, or you could use file_get_contents and eval it, or you could get the code, save it to a temp file, and then include the temp file, or you could...
