hw_GetRemote - Gets a remote document
SYNOPSIS
int hw_getremote (int $connection, int $objectID)
DESCRIPTION
Gets a remote document.
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(3) 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.
PARAMETERS
o $connection
- The connection identifier.
o $objectID
- The object identifier.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a remote document.
