include ("http://www.somesite.com/somepage.html");

Worked perfect on our unix box and our win98 machines but when we installed PHP on our Windows server it no longer worked and tottaly ignored the include unless we used the path instead like.

include ("somepage.html");

This is most likely a configuration problem. Please ask such questions on php-general@lists.php.net

PHP on IIS does not have external includes they just do work. We we posted this before we were told it is a config error, it is not it is an error loclal includes work but not http:// includes even with php as a module on apache.

Still is a configuration error...
You must enable remote includes at compile time.

So why not post that as a solution in the first place ??
As we and MOST others download pre compiled binaries to use on our full production sites.

Read the docs. include() and require() do not work on Windows on remote files.
Alternative: readfile()
