yup, probably ASP.

you can combine your own. If the images returned have an absolute path,
not URL (without http://..., like: /dir/file.png) all you have to do is
to figure out what the URL is and then compose it yourself.

Yes

For remote access they are kind of similar. Use include, it is easier to
learn.
Try this;

<?
Include('http://www.google.com');
?>

you will see the whole google under your domain name.
