Php Includes Across Sub Domains

[harryweiss]

I have a site www.mysite.com.

I have 3 subdomains sub1.mysite.com, sub2.mysite.com and sub3.mysite.com.

sub3.mysite.com is password protected.

All pages end with .php (ie index.php)

I use the following code:

 

<?php

include("inc23.inc");

?>

 

I find that I will require some of the same includes in more than one subdomain.

Can I do the following?

 

1) Create a subdomain called resources.mysit.com with 3 folders - images, includes and stylesheets

and use

A.

<?php

include("resources.mysit.com/includes/ inc23.inc");

?>

B.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resources.mysit.com/stylesheets/stylesheetraw.css" /> Instead of

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheetraw.css" />

C.

In my style sheet use

#toparea {background-image: url(resources.mysit.com/images/images/gs1.gif); etc instead of

#toparea {background-image: url(images/gs1.gif);

D

do I use http://

Since I have an absolute address instead of a relative one, I assume it doesn't matter what's where

E

Does the fact that one of my subdomains is password protected complicate anything?

 

Thank you

I don't think you can do that, as far as I know our php config doesn't allow for calling URLs in includes.

 

I can't really think of anyway to do this other than using a full path - /home/username/public_html/resources/images... etc

 

I think that would work, anyway.

Would the fact that one of the subdomains is password protected affect that subdomains ability to access another sub domain or the other subdomain to send to a password protected calling subdomain?

I have no idea, easiest thing to do is try it. =) I don't have a setup where I can try test that at the moment.

Answering your questions in reverse order...

 

E - I don't think so. Unless you try to access something via http://subdomain.domain.com

 

D - If you want to use the absolute URL then you must use the http://

 

C - That would work but you'll need to use http:// in the beggining of the URL (see D)

 

B - Same as C

 

A - Ah, the complicated one, finally: No.

Seriously, this is the most complex one to answer.

Read my post about why using include("http://somedomain.com/include.php") will not work.
