[FX.php List] Accessing a php file residing on an external server

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Troy,

Thanks for the suggestions.

The challenge boils down to local vs remote.

The include works as intended when the included file is located  on 
the same server.

It does not work when the included file is located on a remote 
server...at least the remote server I am working with.

I seem to recall that there is a setting somewhere that 
allows/restricts access from external servers, but I don't remember 
the details, or if it is a PHP setting, an Apache/OS X Server setting 
or what.

Thanks

Jonathan
