Simple AJAX calls will likely solve your problem. If you need to go cross-domain, use CORS. — Brad

I believe it is not allowed because of the security issue. You can see what is possible here: http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com/2013/09/jquery-cross-domain-ajax-request.html

You can use an iFrame.

When your user opens the php page, it will contain an iframe that opens the html page of the other web server.

Here's a stackoverflow question that answers how to do that Invoking JavaScript code in an iframe from the parent page

if you don't want the iframe to be visible you can hide with CSS.
