PHP Includes not working

We are in the process of redoing our web site. The person doing the web site wanted to use PHP to generate the pages. I have installed PHP on the server and it working fine. We did install the patch that keeps the server from crashing.

I have a PHP include on the page, but the info will not display on the page. The page we are trying to display is a view created from a domino database that is formatted with html. If we type the address direct into the browser it displays exactly like it should, but the include is not showing it.

As a trouble shooting step I tried to put a txt file in the include, again I can type it in the browser and it will display, but the page will not display it.

Below is my php include code:

<?php include("http://www.mysite.org/test.txt"); ?>

This is the code with the txt file, but I have tried to put the address of the view in too.

If I use :

<?php include("test.txt"); ?>

It works, but I am trying to get the view at the path:

/apps/vwide/WebMain.nsf/Test?OpenPage

This is what is not working, or anything that is not in the same folder as the original php files for the site.

If I go to:

http://www.mysite.org/apps/vwide/WebMain.nsf/Test?OpenPage

The page which is created from the view displays just fine.

I have searched high and low on the net and there is something I am missing, but can’t figure it out. I believe it has something to do with my php.ini file, but am not sure.

I know that php is working because the code for the rest of the index page is working great.

Thanks in advance for any help.
