完整的URL无法使用PHP包括

Question

So, I am trying to insert a file with a php include, but for some reason it doesn't work with the full URL.

This works:

<?php include 'menu.html' ?>

But this does not:

<?php include 'http://domainname.com/menu.html' ?>

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Does your php.ini allow you to use remote files with include?

If it's on your own domain then it makes no sense to require the absolute URL, as this would cause the server to open a connection to itself to retrieve the file via HTTP when a direct file operation would be so much simpler.
