Hi, Thanks for the code(s), finally got it to display in a page. But I crashed the server in the attempt. Very bad thing I did... Which threw out over 3000 processes for just visiting the page the one time... eck! It was nasty, I hope noone else attempts it. If people want the code that I used that simply caused more headaches than anything else I am happy to post it. Than again why would you want it? So than again I may not. :P Okay finally I have multiple domains. domain1.com domain2.com Is it possible to grab the source using some PHP code from domain2.com and display it on domain1.com? There *must* be some way, because when you point your web-browser to domain1.com it loads the source, so windows reads the source to display and the webserver handles the requests. So there must be some way to actually grab it? Or no? I don't mean the HTML source I mean the entire PHP source. Thinking about it more maybe it is not that possible as the web-server handles the PHP requests and than the browser outputs it from what the web-server says. I dunno, but how is it possible to grab local PHP source but not from another domain? I'd think it work in the same manner but guess there is something locking that out. I own both domains and thought it be easier to have one domain for the code and one domain for displaying the code. So I could use the other domain to test with and users could also and the other domain for demo's on what to do to achieve things with PHP/mysql etc. Which Only I can edit. I understand PHP has a ftp service in PHP, could this work to download the source? Thanks for your time.

Jerry -- ...and then JeRRy said... % % Hi, Hi! % ... % If a file is called blah.php and is only tailored to % PHP code is it possible to make it downloadable either % as a file-download or appear as plain text in a % browser window? You could probably manage anything, though it might be a little tricky; if you really insisted on having just the one file, I'd actually have a wrapper script which is allowed to display the php source of another file. Hmmm... As I think about it, there's probably no reason that special script couldn't display itself, which means there's no reason your original file couldn't display itself either; you'd no doubt have a "display" function just for that. Gonna have to think about that one. Anyway, what I usually do if I have a need to display the source of running code is just make a symlink as either blah.txt or blah.phps (depending on whether I want it to be readable on the surfer's windows box after downloading or want colorization by apache) so that I save space and have only one thing to maintain. I could use a hard link but then it's easy to forget that it's a link :-) But I'm going to have to go and think about including and recursion for a bit, starting with how to do it for some specific other file. It could be as easy as print file("blah.php") ; or such... HTH & HAND :-D http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities.
