i have loaded a file into an array using ajax and after splitting it i need to save it to the file again.This all happens onClick of a button.
function updatetags(){
var alreadyexistingtags;
var responsetext;
var r2 = new XMLHttpRequest();
r2.open('GET', 'tagsupdated.txt', true);
r2.send(null);
r2.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (r2.readyState == 4 && r2.status==200) {
responsetext=r2.responseText;
alreadyexistingtags=responsetext.split(' ');
}
}
}
i understand that javascripts are not server side and that's why i cannot do what i want,but i'm sure there must be a way to write alreadyexistingtags[ ] to tagsupdated.txt.Any help?Perhaps i should somehow pass the array to PHP?And if so how is that possible given that PHP gets executed when the page loads,when i need to wait for the button to be pressed?
