simple way for synchronize data without mysql access

i have found that there is very bad idea that when we cant access to mysql from remote client (because of any reason e.g dynamic ip of client) we use xml output because xml output have many boring laws for special character and this can make many problems especially for utf-8 charset.

so i use this simple methed for transfering data from a server to another server and synchronize second server with first server:

this code in first server was ran:

<?php
function data_export($parameters){
$prices=array();
$r=db_query('select * from mytable where %s',$parameters);
while($row=db_fetch_array($r)) $data[$row['pk_table']]=$row[]
var_export($data);
}
data_export();
?>

and this code in second server was ran:

<?php
    $handle = fopen("http://firstserver/file_path", "r");
    $xml = "";
    if ($handle)
    {
       while (!feof($handle))
       {
           $xml .= fread($handle, 100000);
       }
        fclose($handle);
    }
	$xml='return '.$xml.';';
    $func_name=create_function('',$xml);
	$data=call_user_func($func_name);
print_r($data);
?>

data was transfered!
