Forum using external.php...
 

Do to the infinite wisdom of my web host, I can't use curl to grab the external.php file via an http address (same site... I can grab an external one fine, just not the one on my site).

When I try and use a relative path (or even $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], external.php doesn't work at all (yes the path is correct in both instances).

Is there another way to go about grabbing the contents of external.php?
