It depends... You could get the php source (which is what Richard was
suggesting when he pointed out that the s wasn't a typo) or you could
simply get the output of a php script (ie html or whatever it outputs)
by requesting a php page from the remote server. Any time you request a
php file you are 'running it on a remote server'. Request the file with
curl and voila, you're done.
