This is working normally. When you said:
<?php include('http://jalanjones.com/test/content.php');?>
This resulted in another call to the server to fetch test/content.php.
So the URL in there will be "test/content.php". The only difference
here is you included it from the server side instead of the client side
- but when the http: request reaches the server, the server neither
knows nor cares about the origin. The PHP file is executed and the
results returned to index2.php, where they are displayed.
Now, if you would have instead done something like:
<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/test/content.php');?>
This would have gone directly to the file system and included the file
without an additional call to Apache. The file would have been
included, the code executed and the results displayed.
Do you see the difference between the two?
