How do you call a script on a remote server in PHP ? I tryed exec($URL); but it doesn't work.

Also, if I open socket connection between 2 scripts on 2 separate servers will firewalls shut me down unless I enable that port ?

you can include it using include();

include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

or you can curl() it using the curl functions if you just want it to spit you a response, ie a processor response or something of that sort...

www.php.net/curl

as for your second question, of course. that's what firewalls are meant to do

open the port on the server that you are binding the listening command on... the client can have the firewall on since its not "listening", but "connecting".

Make sure you have the allow_url_fopen=On in your php.ini

Thanks naitirps... I didn't thought include would work cross server ... but it works just fine.
