Running Scripts from another Place

[066pop]

I was recently trying to run a script from my web host, on an old one of mine to see if I could do something for my friend.

I was trying to run a simple "echo 'this is working';" from a php file on this other website. Just to prove it would work... I tried but failed.

So far I have come accross this thing that said I could get it using this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.somewhere.com/Script.php"></script>

And in the php file I would also put this (cos I thinks it going to be javascript):

Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");

But none of this has worked so far.
AND my googleing hasnt gotten an answer yet... =(

Is there like an include thing? This other webhost (a free one) doent let you use PHP though, so it would have to be something in the HTML page, javascript or something...

You cant include a PHP file that is sitting on another host. Otherwise people would just include the config files from other sites and steal passwords. If you want a free webhost that has PHP and even database support then get a free account on Awardspace or one of the many others that have been suggested here.

Nono man, you don't *get* it.
He wants to load a PHP script into a page that would then write 'this is working' to it, because his other site doesn't support it. Except, as you know, you can only run Javascript clientside, so you have to tag the loaded script as JS. Then, so the PHP file would be *really* sure it is actually Javascript, you need that 'Header' call there.
So then, he is trying to run either a raw PHP script or the string 'this is working' clientside, neither of which is fucking Javascript.

Just... leave him alone, you know? 8D

Its better to inform than misinform

Ok? No one gets where I am coming from... I want to run this script on the other server, then send the results to this free one (because it cant do the php, but the other one can). But I don't know how to it...

None of my attempts are working...

You know its a bit like when you put an image on somesite.com from anothesite.net:

Welcome to sometime.com!
<img src='anothersite.net/StealAnImage.jpg'>

Let me see if I've got this...

You have site a. Site a can run PHP. You have site b. Site b can't.

You want to run something on site a, then be able to let site b know it's working through Javascript.

IF that's what you're looking for...that is IF, I'm still a bit confused...you could use site a to create/edit a Javascript file through PHP, then have site b run that Javascript file.

I've got what he wants:

I think so anyway

The same way you would embed an image, he wants to embed a php file. So, like, <php ("http://othersite.com/file.php"); php> and it would embed the file, with the output being shown, however it actually ran on the other server.

This is possible using JS (Take a look at how google adsense works). The best way would be to have PHP write the results to the js file and display that.
