   (PHP 3>= 3.0.3, PHP 4 )
   hw_GetRemote -- Gets a remote document

Description

   int hw_getremote ( int connection, int objectID)

   Returns a remote document. Remote documents in Hyperwave notation are
   documents retrieved from an external source. Common remote documents
   are for example external web pages or queries in a database. In order
   to be able to access external sources through remote documents
   Hyperwave introduces the HGI (Hyperwave Gateway Interface) which is
   similar to the CGI. Currently, only ftp, http-servers and some
   databases can be accessed by the HGI. Calling hw_getremote() returns
   the document from the external source. If you want to use this
   function you should be very familiar with HGIs. You should also
   consider to use PHP instead of Hyperwave to access external sources.
   Adding database support by a Hyperwave gateway should be more
   difficult than doing it in PHP.
