I am running a normal TCP socket in javascript and uses node to execute. Before I send a response back to the client, I want to validate the data with some some php (mysql) code. How can I execute this code inside this javascript file? All similar questions in STACKOVERFLOW asks about this code in HTML. (which is okay and I understand that part), But this is a normal javascript file (executed in node). The javascript code is below and I've marked the validation function call.
var net = require('net');
var HOST = '192.168.0.6';
var PORT = 8765;
net.createServer(function(sock) {
console.log('CONNECTED: ' + sock.remoteAddress +':'+ sock.remotePort);
sock.on('data', function(data) {
var output;
var validScan;
//This is the function call to a php file
**validScan = validateScanTag(data);**
console.log('DATA ' + sock.remoteAddress + ': ' + data);
sock.write(validScan);
});
// Closing this instance of socket
sock.on('close', function(data) {
console.log('CLOSED: ' + sock.remoteAddress +' '+ sock.remotePort);
});
}).listen(PORT, HOST);
console.log('Server listening on ' + HOST +':'+ PORT);
The validateScanTag executes a line lke :
$.post('getperiod.php', {hours:hrs, minutes:mins, seconds:secs, ddd:day},
But this dont work. How can I call this 'geteriod.php' file from a javascript file?
