Question

I have two files: test.php and query.php.
My server is lighttpd.

In test.php I want to echo the response to query.php request.

It doesn’t work because Lighttpd is single threaded.

How can I do that?

If you are truly trying to emulate a request to the page then you should either use something like CURL, or file_get_contents. If you are just trying to run the code in query.php, then consider including/requiring query.php and making a function/method call.

As a quick and dirty last option, you can always use an output buffer that captures the output of including query.php:

$original_get = $_GET;
$_GET = array('var1'=>1);
ob_start();
include 'query.php';
$query_contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$_GET = $original_get;
echo $query_contents;
