PROBLEM 1
I am trying to implement SSL with PHP. When trying to use the include()
function
to insert an external PHP file, I am only able to make it work in the local
directory
and without SSL.
I believe the following calls to external files should be correct;
however, the include function is not successfull with the complete
URL.
Example
"include ('test.php');" works fine
"include ('http://www.myURL.com/mySubdirectory/test.php');
does not work.
I am not sure why you want to do this because it is very slow. Anyway,
if you do not allow to open remote URL files in your configuration file
php.ini, that may be the reason.
You may also want to this HTTP client class that can work if you have
configuration restrictons. It lets you retrieve pages with either http
or https URLs.

RELATED PROBLEM 2
When emplementing the SSL I am using my IP's certificate. Using their
certificate, I can
establish an SSL connection directly...ie.
https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/test.php
inserted into my browser establishes an SSL connection and the php test
script works fine.
When I reference this test script from another PHP script using the
include() or require() function, the
script does display the contents of the reference. The code is as follows:
File 1 with external reference:
https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/testinclude.php
File 1 Contents:
https://wwwmyIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/testinclude.php";;
?>
File2 (file I am trying to include):
https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/test.php
Contents:
This is the contents of the Test PHP File";
?>
When I call File 1, I can only get the following output:
"Following should be the display of the Test File"
I think it is a matter of relative vs absolute references...but not sure.
I think you are confused. When you ask for remote data that way, you
will get the contents of the page that is generated by that script, not
the script itself. If you could do what you want that way, anybody could
steal the PHP source code of all sites.
OTOH, if you have PHP script source code retrieval support enabled, you
can try what you want asking for this url (notice phps extension), but
you have to enable support in your server.

In response to your first problem:
"As long as allow_url_fopen is enabled in php.ini, you can use HTTP and FTP
URLs with most of the functions that take a filename as a parameter. In
addition, URLs can be used with the include(), include_once(), require() and
require_once() statements. "
