I just got a request from a client to include a searchform and search-result in a simple HTML page - I have no experience with PHP but tried the following:

For the Searchform
================================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php include('http://gso.linea.7.com/search.php'); ?>

</body>
</html>

For the SearchResult
===================================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php include('http://gso.linea.7.com/search.php?SFC_searchsource=new&SF_kwd=auto&PREVSF_kwd='); ?>

</body>
</html>

==============================================
Nothing happens - WHY??? We have PHP4 installed on a UNIX/LINUX/Apache Server.

Greatful for any hint!!!

If you could be more specific about what's wrong, it would be easier to help.

Could you post the code in the search.php file?

run phpinfo() & check if 'allow_url_fopen' is enabled (set to 1) - it should be but if not thats one possible problem.

its also possible that the remote server does not allow remote requests

also check the url actually exists
