Accessing data from another server by Weyzza on 10-09-2006 at 08:35 PM
Is it possible to access data from another server with a PHP script provided I have the user name and the password?
If it's impossible, is there any other way of doing that using a scripting language?

What do you mean on another server? On a server than what? As longas you have the username and password it should be possible to access numerous servers at once. You can use a script to access servers and files.

well... that depends on how you want to access it 
fopen can be used to read files given by the webserver on that server
ftp to access the ftp server
sql to acces the database
