Then you'll have to have a PHP script running on one server, get the =
output of that on the other (using CSV or serialize() for the output com=
es =
to mind), and link the related data on that server with it with a bunch =
of =
queries.

On a typical HTTP request, PHP code will be executed, and all you get is=
=
the output. If you however output the code itself (either by disabling P=
HP =
(for that directory), giving it another non-processed extention, or by =
'building PHP with PHP' (<?php echo '<?php echo "foo"; ?>' ?>)), it can =
be =
processed on the requesting server.

It wouldn't help you, as the code doesn't get executed on the server it =
=
comes from in that case, but on the server doing the include. Think abo=
ut =
it, if I could just include from other servers by HTTP and have access t=
o =
their code, I could do something like this:
<?php
include('http://www.paypal.com');
mysql_query("UPDATE `balance` SET `amount` =3D 999999999999 WHERE `id` =3D=
=
'me'");
?>
So, clearly it doesn't work that way.
