Adding latest products to offsite page

[fireball]

Well Im sure its been done before, but I cant seem to find it. What I am looking to do is add a "block" of code to one of my pages which does not reside in the same folder as my zencart store...not sure it would technically be considered offsite, but as an example, intended destination is a div block on the main page, www.mysite.com/index.html ... cart is located www.mysite.com/somefolder/zencart/

Is there any way to call the info for latest items via php and display in the small div block on the main site home page?

Thanks!!

ps...sorry if this is not posted in the correct area.
