Hi! I want to write a script that will read a .php file on a remote
server and print to the current page a portion of the text contained in
the remote file. I am just wondering what the best method is for
reading from a file in this case - the file is only a few bytes long.
I've seen a tutorial or two that only tangentially addresses my
problem, and even then each one has varied greatly as to which object
they utilize.
Any ideas to get me started?
Many Thanks,

If "remote server" means a server that is not in the same domain as (or
a sub-domain of) the domain serving the page to the browser then normal
browser security will prevent any client-side mechanism from accessing
the content.

Your own server could make the request to the "remote server" and pass
the result of request on, side-stepping the security restrictions.

Everything depends on what your are attempting to achieve, which is not
the simple matter of reading the output form a PHP script but includes
the context in which you want to do so and an explanation of why you
want to do so.

Richard,
Thanks for your reply! I have the goal of serving dynamic content on
pages from a sever (A) that can serve little more than javascript. I
have a separate perl/php capable server (B) that I have written a few
server side scripts for, but I haven't found a way to display the
generated content on B through a page served by A. (The purpose is to
augment the capabilities of a blog account on server A.)
On A, I don't have the ability to make a request to B, parse the
result, and pass the rest on, since A is not server side capable. I
was hoping the process could be as simple as displaying pictures from a
separate server with the tag:
<IMG [...] src="http://www.remotedomai n.com/pic.jpg">.
Following that model, I have already tried dynamically genereating a
".js" file and including it with the tag:
<SCRIPT [...] src="http://www.myBserver.c om/generated.js">
Unfortunately, my blog account has a server side parser which
eliminates the src attribute of the SCRIPT tag if the src doesn't
belong to one of 12 approved domains (for security reasons.)
If I could use javascript to open a *text* file on a remote server,
read in a string, and print it, I wouldn't be including remote .js
files - I would just be displaying text from a remote site.
If that won't work, is there any way I could do a direct text include,
similar to the way I can use an IMG tag to display remote graphics?
Thanks again!

The only thing you have to do is circumvent the cross-domain security
restriction in javascript.
Javascript security restrictions require that the scripting
and the data being acted upon be delivered from the same domain
( www.yourserver.com)
So what you need is a serverside cgi, servlet or similar
socket capable tool to proxy the request. The serverside widget
would take the result of the request and print it out as javascript
or such, and since the cgi , servlet or whatever was located on your
domain , javascript is happy.

Hi,
I have a synchronous socket server which my app uses to read data from
clients.
To test this I have a simulated client that sends 100 byte packets.
I have set up the socket server so that its buffer is bigger than this.
I did this expecting the data to be read in one pass.

I did try to find the answer to this before posting, so this isn't a
knee jerk reaction.
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a script that opens a
cookie, reads a value, and then use a switch/case to take action based
on that value in the cookie. I want to set the cookie manually, so I
don't need setcookie(). I see that in PHP it stores the cookie in
memory. Is there a way to have PHP just read a cookie from the desktop
machine?...

Currently I need to read contents from a dynamic page, which goes

The content is not static, neither is there a file for me to read
