Are there alternative methods to using the _FILE_ constant in PHP for automatically including URLs in scripts?

When using the _FILE_ constant in PHP to include URLs in scripts, it may not always work as expected, especially when dealing with remote URLs. An alternative method to automatically include URLs in scripts is to use the file_get_contents() function to fetch the contents of the URL and then include it in the script. 

$url = 'https://example.com/script.php';
$content = file_get_contents($url);
echo $content;
