I have some php files that reside outside of EE.  I would like to insert some EE content into these php files.

It works if I call the EE content via an iframe:

<iframe src="http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores"></iframe>

I would prefer not to use an iframe if possible so I thought I would try it via php include or php require:

<?php

require("http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores");

?>

The result are these messages:

Warning: require(http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores) [function.require]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied in C:\Inetpub\expressionengine\firm\\index.php on line 80

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores’ (include_path=’.;c:\\php\\pear’) in C:\Inetpub\expressionengine\firm\index.php on line 80

A similar message appears for either php include or php require.

/firm/index.php is a non-EE page calling on the EE content.

I enabled both allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in my php.ini file.

Navigating directly to http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores does show the content.  The template used in this case is bare bones (title and body only).

Any ideas?

Perhaps you have more luck with

<?php
readfile("http://domain/site/permalink/auto_stores");
?>

‘readfile’ did not work either.  Still getting permission denied.
