LC Script in PHP File

Sun Nov 23 03:23:23 EST 2014

Hi
You can also use the curl function if your LC script is located on a server :

  $data = 'http://myDomain/lc/myLCscript.lc?a=' . $myVar;

  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $data);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  $output = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

I use this method very often in my php scripts and find it very easy to
maintain.
