AJAX :: Reading+Processing PHP File Outputs?
Apr 15, 2011
I have resorted to using a forum after 2 days of head scratching. What I need is some script to monitor the output of a php file that outputs "yes" or "no" depending on weather it is your turn in a multiplayer game.I would like it to just check every few seconds (in order to not crash the server) if it has changed. While the PHP file is showing "yes" I want it to show some buttons to make a move and when it is showing "no" for it to just say something like "enemy's turn". I hear that this kind of thing could be achieved with jQuery and AJAX but I have never used JavaScriptI already feel like I'm making a big ask but if you don't mind I would also like a way of submitting your move to a php file to make the move (submitting something to MySql)

I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..

Assume we have one button that fires ajax request, ajax call will talk 15 seconds to load the results. Assume the user clicked on that button first time and waited for 5 seconds, then he/she clicked again. In this case the page will be loaded two times. i.e. first time will be loaded and after finishing the first ajax request, the second one will start!
Is there any way to cancel the second ajax request(both first and second ajax calls come from first button) while having the first one in process? The problem, if the user clicks more than one time on the same button, then a queue of ajax calls will be executed and the user will wait for long to process all of them. So I need to cancel similar requests that come after first request.

I have a web application in which I want users to be able to submit a form. Something like this:
Code PHP:
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<input type="text" name="text" value="" />[code]....
Then when it is submitted, the data will be processed and the script which is processing the data will echo some data on-screen based on the data from the form.I need this to happen in an AJAX manner, ie: the page won't need to reload.how to go about doing this? I'll be using jQuery on the same page in case

I'm trying to write code that will read an XML file. I've found several examples but I can't get them to work. Am I missing a DLL file? The errors I commonly get are "object required" (as with the code below) or "permission denied". Any insight would be helpful and appreciated. Here is what I'm trying:
<script language="JavaScript">
function importXML(file)
{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) createTable()
};
xmlDoc.loadXML(file);
}
function createTable()
{
var doc=xmlDoc.documentElement;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Employee");
for (i=0;i<x[0].childNodes.length;i++)
{
alert(i); //enter code to process stuff here
}
}
</script>
<INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="import XML"
onClick="importXML('C: mpzip est1.xml')">

The questions "Can I read a file... " show up on the regular basis. The answer to accessing files on the same domain is the XMLHTTP object. Following is a simple wrapper that accounts for differences in Gecko and IE5.5+ implementation and returns the content of a file in a string, or null if an error occured:
function getFile(filename)
{ oxmlhttp = null;
try
{ oxmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
oxmlhttp.overrideMimeType("text/xml");
}
catch(e)
{ try
{ oxmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
}
if(!oxmlhttp) return null;
try
{ oxmlhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
oxmlhttp.send(null);
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
return oxmlhttp.responseText;
}

I'm reading a text file, manipulating the string that I've read, and then writing to a new text file called temp. The error that I am getting is basically reading past the end of the file.
function SpaceFileEntries()
{
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

I have a large project under development. The code below distills the problem I am having. In essence, I am trying to read in an XML file. It appears to load okay but when I try to count how many there are of a certain tag (The "Team" tag) I am told that there are zero. This is despite being told that that file loads okay (as the callback function is called).
Javascript and the xml file is below. I hope that it is easy to follow. When the page is loaded, the initialize function is called. I first check my browser as I only need this to work on a Mozilla browser (I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3). I then load the xml file and the callback function (fileLoaded) is called. I then try to find out how many "Team" tags I have, but get the message that there are zero.
= javascript =
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"[URL]">
<html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Global variable so that everything can access it
var xlmDoc; .....
= xml file =
<Root>
<Team>
<Type>GLF</Type>
<Name>Verulam</Name>
<Postcode>AL1 1JG</Postcode>
<Page>693</Page>
</Team> .....

I'm trying to read a text file with node.js. This text file is a line of just numbers. I add every line to an array as a string. What I want to do is make it so every element in the array is only one number in the text file. When I use the split function with (" ") it doesn't work correctly; it prints out a string as all the numbers in the text file. how would I delimit this text file with every space or new line.
var fs = require('fs');
var array = fs.readFileSync("10_01.txt").toString().split(" ");
for (var ind = 0; ind<array.length; ind++)
[code]....
Is there a better way to do this because at the moment it doesn't seem to display what I want?

I have written the following code to read contents of a text file using FileReader object of HTML 5 for Google Chrome.
<script>
function handle_files(files) {
var i;
if (checkBrowser("Chrome")) {
for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
file = files[i];
var reader = new FileReader();
ret = [];
reader.onload = function (e) {
console.log(e.target.result)
}reader.onerror = function (stuff) {
console.log("error", stuff)
console.log(stuff.getMessage())
}text = reader.readAsText(file[i]);
alert(text);
}}}
</script>
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" onchange="handle_files(this.files)">
Unfortunately, the variable text always displays as undefined. Everything above the line text = reader.readAsText(file[0]); works fine. Is there any other solution to read a text file using HTML5/JavaScript on Chrome?

Is there a way to use Javascript to read a txt file, take all the words in the txt file one by one, then create a cookie out of each of them? Ideally, I'm also looking to create a prompt which asks the user if they want to set the cookie each time.The purpose of this is that I'm looking to create some basic browser based games (with information stored in txt files), so it doesn't have to be a script which works online. Everything is just run offline. If it makes a difference, it can also be, say, a doc file rather than a txt.I understand the idea of using activeX & IE to read the txt file, and after looking through this forum, I have found a way to load the entire txt into a form. I have not been able to advance my idea beyond that however.I've used Javascript before many times for webpages, but it generally comes down to me copying and pasting code, then just changing a few keys words. What I'm quickly trying to say there is that I can use js, but I'm not that much of an expert.

Is there a way to read from a page using a setTimeOut rather than a readyStateChange?
I have a PHP script, and it uses ob_flush to print the data as it comes up with it. I would like to use AJAX to read that data as it comes out, and update a percentage bar with the data returned from the PHP. The problem is, is that usual AJAX uses readyStateChange. And the only options i have are 1) It has started, and 4) Its done.
Is there a way i can read from it as it loads?

I am trying to build a very simple Ajax example with JavaScript and PHP. Basically, the goal is to populate a select list with values dependent on the selection in another list. I am able to do a GET from a server-side script and I see the XML displayed correctly in XMLHttpRequest.responseText. However, when I try to check XMLHttpRequest.responseXML, I am not able to get anything out of it. The alert() shows it as an "Object", so it's not null. I have tried getElementByTagName() from both responseXML and responseXML.documentElement, each time giving a legitimate inner tag, but nothing comes out. What is the correct way of doing it? This is my JavaScript and HTML code:

I'm learning/experimenting with some simple JS/html markup, running
an apache daemon and mozilla firefox browser in RH 9.
Let's say I run the following markup with one or more of lines 6-10
commented out:
1 <html>
2 <head>
3 <script type="text/javascript">
4 function showinfo()
5 {
6 width = window.screen.availWidth;
7 document.write("<br>screen width=
");
8 document.write(width);
9 document.write("<br>Date: ");
10 document.write(Date());
11 }
12 </script>
13 </head>
14 <body onload="showinfo()">
15 <p>
My question: is there a simple explanation to account for the 'unexpected'
behaviours below (Runs 1, 3, 5)?
Run 1: nothing in 6-10 commented out; output (expected more):
screen width=
Run 2: line 7 commented out; output (as expected):
1024
Date: Wed Apr 14 2004 20:55:58 GMT-0400 (EDT)
Run 3: lines 7, 9, 10 commented out; output (as expected, but unfinished loading):
1024
[ongoing hourglass indicating loading in progress]
Run 4: lines 7, 10 commented out; output (as expected):
1024
Run 5: lines 7-9 commented out; output (as expected, but unfished loading):
Date: Wed Apr 14 2004 22:46:49 GMT-0400 (EDT)

anybody knows a way to buffer the outputs from document.write?
We want to reload the advertising banners on the page when an user browses trough the pictures in our AJAX-Gallery, but the scripts from our advertising partners uses document.write, so we can't call the addBanner() function from inside the gallery-script.

I'm having a problem showing the output of this code in the textfield.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var url = document.URL;
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea style="overflow: auto;" rows="1" cols="70" wrap="off" readonly>
<script language="JavaScript">document.write(url);</script>
</textarea>
<br><br>
<script language="JavaScript">document.write(url);</script>
</body>
</html>
The output isn't showing the browsers current URL which is the desired effect, instead it is only showing the raw JavaScript code.

I need to use string split to get two outputs for an email address, one output the user name and the second to be the domain name, for example xxxxx@xxxx.com needs to be seperated at the @ symbol so one output would be the xxxx and the second would be xxxx.com. How to get the second output right.
<html> <body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function convertEmail(inEmail) {
var atPosition;
var stringLength;
var username;
var domain;
username = inEmail.indexOf("@");
stringLength = inEmail.length;
domain = inEmail.substr(0,atPosition);
username = inEmail.substr(atPosition+1, stringLength);
domain = inEmail.substr(atPosition+1, stringLength);
return username ;
return domain;
}emailIn = prompt("Enter username@domain", "Doe@Jane");
alert (convert (inEmail))
alert (convert (inEmail))
</script></body></html>

How would you go about writing a function that returns a string that outputs a branched bulleted list using <ul> and <li> tags of all the html elements in a page? The html elements don't all have id's or names, so I cannot reference them directly. I would like to do it recursively so that I can grab all the elements, not just those two or three levels deep.
