Running Script That Calls Php Script On Another Server?
Mar 18, 2010
i am currently exploring my options for a script I want to create and want some input on what you think are my best options.
Background
1) Our company provides a service to clients who save information on our company website in a mysql database.
2) Our clients fill in this information and will soon have the option of displaying this information on their websites (thats where the new script comes in)
3) Originally I wanted to create a simple PHP script that they could reference on my site which would get all their details for them basd on thier Host. however I have since learnt you cannot call a hp script from another domain. so idea 1 out the window.
4) So I have since moved to look at a javascipt approach. The Script will be hosted on our company server
5) Clients will call only 1 function to get their data
6) The function they call would ideally load and read the php script file that is stored on our server (FILE XXX) which retrieves the data for them from the mysql database and formats it based on how they have configured their data on our site
Firstly , Can this be done? How can i get it to load the php script (yes i know its server side not client side). I have looked into Ajax and see this can be done but not if the script is stored on a different server. How can i go about resolving this issue?
I'm trying to write a script that will be loaded from one server into a website on another server. This script is trying to talk (ajax) to the server that it comes from but I'm getting "Access Denied" errors. I'm well aware that cross-domain calls are not allowed for security reasons so my question is how does Google Analytics work because essentially thats what I'm trying to accomplish. I can embed a Google Analytics script into my website and it'll gather data and send it back to Google.
I know about the same-origin policy and that one of the only ways to load data from a cross-domain is to load it as JSON. However, all I am trying to do is access data from a server on another port (which I believe the browser still treats as cross-domain). I need to do this because the server my application is on is a map server and the other server (Apache) is the only one that can handle php scripts. I have also tried out the plug-in from [URL] and while it works when I do $('#phpContent').load('http://www.google.com'); it doesn't work when I try $('#phpContent').load('http://localhost:80/mapScripts/getFiles.php'); I have also tried$.get('http://localhost:80/mapScripts/getFiles.php', function(data) { $('#phpContent').html(data); });
So here I am breaking my brain and do not know what else to attempt.
I'm building a very simple app that relies on a remote server. I will use this app on many websites, so I decided to store it on one server (I have control of the remote server in question).
I need to make sure that this server is up and running, so in the case it's not I can use a fallback.
Would it be a client-side approach? A server-side approach? My guess is to use a js snippet to do the job. If I'm correct, I'll probably use jquery to perfom the task.
I recently coded a page that extracts certain nodes from an external XML file and prints a line of text on the webpage.
It is an HTML page that is strictly devoted to this purpose. There is no other information on it.
The page is currently stored locally on my computer, and when I open it, the script runs fine and outputs the correct text.
However, when I transferred this script over to my web server, and locate it that way, it doesn't run correctly. When I go to the page, it is supposed to display a line of text at the top. It does when I run the file from my local machine, however when I open it from the server, it doesn't display this text. (Same browser, same computer)
When I right-click and view the source, all the code is there, and the files are identical.
why the script runs correctly only when I open the HTML page locally?

This is a strange problem because there's no reason it should be happening. I'm running xampp 1.7.4 locally and jquery-1.6-dev. I'm working through the "jQuery Novice to Ninja" book and everything is working fine until I hit Chapter 3 - animated navigation. Instead of displaying across the top of the page, the nav bar displays down the page. After double- and triple-checking everything I just straight copied the example files for the book into my local server. It did the same thing. In other words, when I double-clicked the file to view in the browser it worked, but the exact same file viewed in the server did not work. I checked with the file I was working on and sure enough the same thing happened - it worked viewed in the browser but not through the server. I hope I explained this clearly. Has anyone run into this sort of thing before? Is there something on the server that needs to be configured?
I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.
The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.
The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?
Javascript Code
window.onload = initAll; var xhr = false; function initAll() { document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;
I would like to open an html file locally (not fetch it from a server) and somehow use javascript to fetch the relative resources from the server. One solution would be to convert all of the relative links to absolute links. I can convert the html source file anyway I wish, but ideally I would like to modify the html source as little as possible, for example insert a function that modifies the result of the src attribute. How would I go about this? Is there any trick I can use to define where the relative home is? Am I going to get into any scripting security gotchas?
I am creating an XML document on my page with javascript. My question is, is it possible to save that xml file on the server (I have write permissions) only using javascript, ie no server code? This task would be trivial using server code, but I was wondering if I can do it all with client code and post backs? Well, any input?
I already have a server connected to clients, clients send msgs and it echoes back to all of them and now i want when a client sends a msg it echoes on his server and the other server too .. so when any of the clients on any of the servers sends a msg it is broadcasted all over the servers to all clients
How can I make the button call the click event so that the server side method btnExecute_Click() can be called? Also, this button calls a javascript function before server side even.
What I want to do is: On a site, when a viewer hits the 'contact us' button, a new page opens with a contact form which will in turn be submitted to a php script on the server.
I want to pass the url of the page that called the form to the php script in a hidden field, so that when the php form handler emails me the form result it tells me what page the viewer was on when they hit the contact me button, and then after that I want to send the viewer back to that page,
In a page I can get the page url using js to get location.href and place it in a variable. But after calling the form page I don't see how to put that variable which I think is global(?) into a hidden form field to post when the form is submitted.
Once it is at the server I have no trouble with the php to do what I want, I just can't see how to get the javascript variable to persist across site pages.
I would like to add dynamic text sizing to a website. There will be three text sizes. When the default is used, only the "Increase text size" button is shown. When the maximum size is used, only the "Decrease text size" button is shown. And otherwise, both buttons are shown.
I've been working on a mockup as follows at the end, but my issue is that once I have manipulated an element of the HTML DOM, if I access it again to check it's value, I will only get the original value in the document. To do the dynamic buttons, I need to maintain some kind of state between function calls, so that I know what the current size is. Can I even do this with Javascript or am I barking up the wrong tree?
function showData(id) { $.get("/url/getdata", {id : id}, function(data) { $("#dialogData").html(data);

no longer work with the addition of 1.5.Looking at firebug, the correct data is returned, but the function breaks after entering the callback.Everything simply stops.I read about the changes to Ajax call in 1.5, but I have over a thousand such calls through my project -> I cannot even begin to think about hunting them all down and changing them, let alone bug testing it all.
I'm trying to use the jqmodal dialog plugin and everything is working OK except for one minor problem. It seems when I click on the link, the expected action does not occur until I click the second time. Essentially I set up a small test form with a single line put into a table. In that data line is an href, which when clicked calls an AJAX function and returns text, which displays as a dialog. Like I said, this works fine except for the fact that the dialog does not show until the second time I click on the link. I added an alert box to the code, so I know the function is executed the first time the link is clicked
When moving a mouse over a table cell, how can I highlight only the column and row header cells without highlighting whole column and row in addition to the current cell which I can do? My guess is using coords in some way, unless there a quicker, cleaner method?
So I have a three step process where the page loads and there is the first section of checkboxes... as the user makes their selections I want to display the next step which also has some checkboxes. If they select a checkbox from the next step then there's a 3rd step.
If I load all sections at once, all three groups of checkboxes works great as far as accepting selections and passing the proper information.
However if I load only one, then after selection is made, load the next one... the next one using the same code as showing all at once does NOT want to work. I can't select anything.
I'm starting with something like:
[Code].....
one is class=checklist, other is =media,... thinking the naming was conflicting and then I have them each call their own function to keep it separate.
I have a search function which works when I only want to have only one search per page, but as it involves a string call I'm not sure how to modify it to multiple search requests on a page.
The below works fine for one call:
<script type="text/javascript"> function showHint(str){ if (str.length==0){
[code]...
The above doesn't work and I am not sure what do about the showHint(str) as clearly I am not representing it properly in my attempt to modify the script.
