I have a PHP-based template website that has been heavily modified.
I am in the process of adding some RSS feeds, most of which are easy to "interpret" and display satisfactorily but one is in caps with "pre" formatting as well.
I want to modify the content. I look at all the mods I make as education and invariably am able to google satisfactory solutions to the problems I come across but, despite an earlier extensive programming background, without a thorough grounding in Javascript, Ajax, PHP, CSS and HTML, there are sometimes things that just frustrate the hell out of me.
All I want to do is pass a block of text from javascript code to PHP code, massage it and get the result back. I am at a point in a ajax/jscript function where...
items[i].content
...contains the block of text that I want massaged and I have a piece of code that I got from here, I think, that ostensibly calls the PHP code...
function compute() {
var params="session=123";
$.post('wxspellch.php',params,function(data){
alert(data);//for testing if data is being fetched
var myObject = eval('(' + data + ')');
document.getElementById("result").value=myObject(addend_1,addend_2);
});
...and, unfortunately, it isn't documented so I don't have a clue what has to be customized. All I have done so far is enter the name of my PHP script. The PHP script is written like this...
$pspell = pspell_new('en','american','','utf-8',PSPELL_FAST);
function spellCheckWord($word) {
global $pspell;
$autocorrect = TRUE;
// Take the string match from preg_replace_callback's array
$word = $word[0];
etc......
}
function spellCheck($string) {
return preg_replace_callback('/\b\w+\b/','spellCheckWord',$string);
}
echo spellCheck("...... the data .......")
The PHP tests out fine with hard-coded data. I just need to know what further customizing I have to do to the javascript and php in order to facilitate the passing and recovery of the block of text.
