ok heres my problem. i have a php photo gallery which has a random image function which i can call using

< ?php @readfile('http://www.mywebsite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title'); ? >

now what i need to do is embed the results of that php call into a HTML file on another server which doesnt support PHP. Is there anyway i can get the output into the html easily?

cheers.

ta ;)

if all that function does is generate a random image and then display it why not just have the main.php file produce an image.

I.e. header('image/jpg');
echo $image_file;

then in the html all you would need to do is <img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title" />

no it also generates captions and a link to the specific folder in the gallery which i want. also i dont wanna f*** around with the main.php because its got alot of s*** in it.

you could wrap it all in a nasty javascript document.write('htmlhere');

care to post an example scuzzy? :)

Can you put it inside an iframe and call it from the machine that does have php?

<iframe src="http://phpserver/display_random.php"> </iframe>

then just put that line in the http://phpserver/display_random.php file on the server with php.

find something the other server _does_ support and use that to make the request, otherwise you can't do what you're asking. you need to be able to make a http request from the other server

copy("http://http://www.mywebsite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title", "ftp://me:xxx@someserver.com/public_html/myfile.html");
