hw_GetRemote
(PHP 4)
hw_GetRemote — Gets a remote document
Description
int hw_getremote
( int $connection
, int $objectID
)
Remote documents in Hyperwave notation are documents retrieved from an
external source. Common remote documents are for example external web
pages or queries in a database.
In order to be able to access external sources through remote documents
Hyperwave introduces the HGI (Hyperwave Gateway Interface) which is
similar to the CGI. Currently, only ftp, http-servers and some databases
can be accessed by the HGI.
Calling hw_getremote() returns the document from
the external source. If you want to use this function you should be
very familiar with HGIs. You should also consider to use PHP instead
of Hyperwave to access external sources. Adding database support
by a Hyperwave gateway should be more difficult than doing it in PHP.
