[ALUG] How to display result of remote PHP script within a HTML page

Tue Dec 4 10:25:09 GMT 2007

Hi folks.

A very dumb question from a HTML / PHP beginner...

I have written a simple hit counter prog which I can access by running:
http://www.suffolk-ancestor-genealogy-research.co.uk/counters/counter.php?webpage=main

I now want to integrate this into a HTML website page, so that this remote
script "counter.php" is run and the result displayed on the HTML webpage
each time the page is viewed.

I have created a simple HTML page:
http://www.suffolk-ancestor-genealogy-research.co.uk/counters/count_page.html

which just consists of:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<script
src="http://www.suffolk-ancestor-genealogy-research.co.uk/counters/counter.php?webpage=main"></script>
</BODY>
</HTML>

When I go to this count_page.html webpage the hit counter is incremented but
the result is not displayed on the webpage (even though it's output is
visible when I run the script counter.php directly).

How do I get the result from the remote script counter.php to display on my
count_page.html page?
