and i want other sites to be able to include that php file even though its hosted on my domain

I'm not 100%, but I'd say no as that would be a huge security risk. That, and to my knowledge when another client requests a PHP file it's sent as a parsed file and not PHP code.

Yeah, you can easily make a php script that other sites can 'include' in their pages - they need to include it as javascript and your output needs to be in javascript.

Same way that things like adwords work.

You could also do an iframe, but Javascript is probably more widely supported these days.

Contact me on ICQ if you are concerned about the security.

include("http://mydomain.com/hey.php");

Yeah but this wont work like a local include, as someone mentioned above. It will return the parsed output, and will not be given the chance to evaluate any code locally.

Besides, the original poster didn't say if they wanted the other webmasters to be able to include his php script into another script or directly into their page.
