Executing a url within a php script

[eric]

Hi,

What is the best way of triggering another script (through a url)
within a background php script?

I have a script whatever.php that gets called in the background by a
mobile operator. Within this script I need to trigger another script
through a url (this in turn sends out a SMS to a mobilephone). Eg,
none of these gets executed in a browser.

I thought file_get_contents would do the trick but apparently not.. :(

Thanks!

CURL?

It should do - read up on safe_mode, file_wrappers etc.

(or use CURL)

Check allow_url_fopen setting on your system. If it's off, your
scripts are not allowed to access remote files.
