i am unable to receive a response from the php file.
Javascript
var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "http://localhost/php_bollywood_romance.php";
var params = "film="+movie_name_entered;
http.open("POST", url, true);
//Send the proper header information along with the request
http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
alert(http.responseText);
}
}
http.send(params);
I have even tried to do this.....
var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in http)
{
var url = "http://localhost/php_bollywood_romance.php";
var movie_name_entered="hi";
var params = "film="+movie_name_entered;
http.open("POST", url, true);
}
else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined"){
http = new XDomainRequest();
var url = "http://localhost/php_bollywood_romance.php";
var movie_name_entered="hi";
var params = "film="+movie_name_entered;
http.open("POST", url);
} else {
http = null;
}
if (http){
http.onload = function(){
http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
document.write(http.responseText);
callback(http.responseText);
alert("hey");
}
}
http.send(params);
};
PHP
<?php
{
$name = $_POST["film"];
$file ='data_bollywood_romance.txt';
$current=file_get_contents($file); //gets existing content from the file
$current ="$current
$name
";
file_put_contents($file,$current); //put newstuff
echo 'hi';
return 'yes';
}
?>
However this also does not seem to work... if i do alert("http.response") after http.send(params)...it alerts an alert with nothing written on it. I thought this might be because there is same origin policy problem so i tried to do Cross-domain Ajax with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing but that didnt work either( that is the second code). Thanks for your help in advance.
