PHP Direct Execution HELP !!!! pls

[antboy]

Hi all

i want to pull a static html file which is generated by another script on my site into the CMS but i have really no idea how best to do this

it was suggested that i try something like <?php include("http://www.othersite.com/filename.html"); ?> via a widget

well i have fairly limited php programming skill and have tried the following

ob_start();

include ("http://www.mysite.com/myfile.html");

$output .= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

but this does not work i just get the following error - i would be greatly appreciative if someone knows how to do this

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in [path]/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(177) : eval()'d code on line 4

Warning: include(http://www.mysite.com/myfile.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in [path]/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(177) : eval()'d code on line 4
