In what scenarios is it necessary to use IFrames in PHP, and what are some alternative approaches to consider when dealing with cross-server PHP files without direct access to FTP or databases?

When dealing with cross-server PHP files without direct access to FTP or databases, one scenario where IFrames may be necessary is when you need to display content from another server within your website. An alternative approach to consider is using cURL to fetch the remote content and then display it on your page. 

<?php
// Using cURL to fetch remote content
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/remote-file.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Display the remote content on your page
echo $output;
?>
