I would need to know more about the various servers in play and their  
functionality, but in general (a) you may conduct the survey on a  
different server than that running phpESP, but (b) you don't simply  
pass variables to http://example.com/phpESP/public/handler.php

You generally need to wrap phpESP.first.php and handler.php into a  
single script, such as the one found in phpESP/public/survey.php, in  
order to (a) set-up connection to the database, etc. and (b) actually  
show the survey.

Again, I would need to know more.  However, I would generally say that  
you should:
1. Create a survey wrapper on the phpESP server that includes  
phpESP.first.php, handler-prefix.php, and handler.php.  Very much like  
survey.php, just stripped down to the bear minimum.
2. Call that survey wrapper from the phpESP client (your "web pages")  
via a remote file include (if using PHP), an <object> or <iframe> HTML  
container, or by writing your own <form> that posts to that survey  
wrapper.
