How to call a website service from PHP?
===

My problem is the following, I have an EmailReports.php on my server which I use to send mails like EmailReports.php?who=some@gmail.com&what=123456.pdf

I can NOT modify EmailReports.php since that belongs to a diferent project and it instantly sends an email and has been aproved by QA team and all that stuff.

Now, on a diferent LookReports.php I need to offer a service like "Send me the reports I reviewed" which manually can be easily executed as just calling EmailReports.php, the question is, how can do it by PHP code? so it calls the other PHP automatically.

I have tried without success:

    $stuff = http_get("http://...<the url here>");
and

    $stuff =  file_get_contents("http://...<the url here>");

I was thinking on import the EmailReports.php but does not seem right since there is no functions, it automatically sends an email.

Or I could replicate EmailReports.php code but that is against the QA policy since extra tests would be needed.

Could you guide me a bit?

Thanks in advance.
