How to include external file w. params?

Include statements are IIS - and they access the files via the file system, not via HTTP.  So even if there weren't illegal characters in the include statement, you would get the code from the page, not the output.  Here's a link with some more info:

I have a function that reads a web page via HTTP and returns a string with it's results - it works well for me in these situations:

            public string ReadWebPage( string url )
            {
                  string http = "";

                  if(url.IndexOf("http://")!=0)
                  {
                        url = "http://" + url;
                  }

                  WebRequest objRequest= HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
                  StreamReader sr =  new StreamReader( objRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream() );  
                  string result = sr.ReadToEnd();
                  sr.Close();
                  return result;
            }

To use it, just create a label on your page where you want the text to appear, and in your page_Load, put:

Label1.Text = ReadWebPage("SomeUrlWithParameters")

There are a few other ways of reading a web page, and I'm not sure how this compares in performance to other methods, but I've never had a problem.

You can also cache the results of each request, which will minimize the time it takes to get the PHP page contents back on subsequent requests.

Sorry, I can't get this running.

Can you please give me the full page code? It will be an ASPX page, so I need the language definition and maybe even includes of classes?

Thx a lot greenguy!
I would have rated this posting with a AA++, but unfortunately there's only a normal A possible :D.
Thanks again, this helped so much!

Have fun, bye
