PROBLEM 1 I am trying to implement SSL with PHP. When trying to use the include() function to insert an external PHP file, I am only able to make it work in the local directory and without SSL.
I believe the following calls to external files should be correct; however, the include function is not successfull with the complete URL.
Example "include ('test.php');" works fine "include ('http://www.myURL.com/mySubdirectory/test.php'); does not work.
I am not sure why you want to do this because it is very slow. Anyway, if you do not allow to open remote URL files in your configuration file php.ini, that may be the reason.
You may also want to this HTTP client class that can work if you have configuration restrictons. It lets you retrieve pages with either http or https URLs.

RELATED PROBLEM 2 When emplementing the SSL I am using my IP's certificate. Using their certificate, I can establish an SSL connection directly...ie. https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/test.php inserted into my browser establishes an SSL connection and the php test script works fine.
When I reference this test script from another PHP script using the include() or require() function, the script does display the contents of the reference. The code is as follows:
File 1 with external reference: https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/testinclude.php
File 1 Contents: <?PHP echo "Following should be the display of the Test File"; include 'https://wwwmyIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/testinclude.php";; ?>
File2 (file I am trying to include): https://www.myIPDomain.com/myLoginID/mySubdirectories/test.php
Contents: <?PHP echo "<b><br><br>This is the contents of the Test PHP File<b>"; ?>
When I call File 1, I can only get the following output:
"Following should be the display of the Test File"
I think it is a matter of relative vs absolute references...but not sure.
I think you are confused. When you ask for remote data that way, you will get the contents of the page that is generated by that script, not the script itself. If you could do what you want that way, anybody could steal the PHP source code of all sites.
OTOH, if you have PHP script source code retrieval support enabled, you can try what you want asking for this url (notice phps extension), but you have to enable support in your server.
