Using Ajax to require different php page - javascript

I want to use jquery ajax to change the content of my div elemnt by requiring different php files.
here is the ajax code :
$.ajax({
url:"/project/Functions/project_functions.php",
type:"POST",
data:{
functions:num
},
success:function(result){
$("#right_bot").html(result);
}
});
the project_functions.php would be something like :
$result = '<?php require "Panels/Project/Main/main.php" ?>';
echo $result;
I can see the value being outputted , but the html comment out the php part
<!--?php require "Panels/Project/Main/main.php" ?-->
It just comments out the php. Is there a way i load different php files into my div ?
In the main.php file , It has php code , html code , and some style tags. Can I use ajax to load all this into the div element ? or I have to echo all my html code ?

You can't do this like that. What you want is that all PHP is excecuted on the server and only the result has to be returned.
You can't send php-code back to javascript and try to run it there, PHP is a serverside language, it will only work on the server. Javascript is clientside, it will only run in the browser.
If you where to send <?php echo 123; ?> back to Javascript, you'll get exactly that as result, not 123.
The solution in your case is to make project_functions.php really require it. This will include the main.php, all it's functions and output.
require "Panels/Project/Main/main.php";
Some suggested reading:
http://www.codeconquest.com/website/client-side-vs-server-side/
A trick which might help you: Paste the link to your urlbar, and add the variables to it. The result you get in your screen is what Javascript will output. Note: This only works for method=get, not post.
In this case browse to /project/Functions/project_functions.php and do the simple require per my code above. That output will be send to Javascript.

Send a parameter in the ajax request 8for example type):
$.ajax({
url:"/project/Functions/project_functions.php",
type:"POST",
data:{
functions:num, type: "main"
},
success:function(result){
$("#right_bot").html(result);
}
});
And then in php-file get the type variable:
if($type == "main") {
require "Panels/Project/Main/main.php"
}
else {
require "Panels/Project/Main/sthelse.php"
}
You should also have some sort of same function name or something to output the results of the file;
<?php
function printResult() { }
echo printResult();

Try:
$result = file_get_contents('Panels/Project/Main/main.php');

PHP file called by javascript and another php file

I have a php file (I will call ORIGINAL) which do some calculations (through db mysql). I want to read this php from javascript. For that operation I have used ajax function and my php uses echo $result to print the data I need.
Everything is perfect here.
What happends now, I am creating another php file which need to call the ORIGINAL php file. If I want to call it, I must change the echo to return which is normal. This causes that my javascript call doesnt work.
Do you have a solution which work for both situations?
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean something like this?
original_php_file.php:
<?php
require_once "other_php_file.php"; // include all of the other files contents
// all code contained within original_php_file
?>
You were being pretty broad with your request (not including file names or code), so this is all I can assume you need.
Tell me if it helps :-)
Just send one more parameter into your ajax request to tell that ORIGINAL php file what type of output it should return.
Into your ORIGINAL file check for that output so you can understand from where that request come and what output you should return.
$.ajax({
url: 'ORIGINAL.php',
data: 'data=test&output=1',
success: function(r){
// here you have your output
}
});

Echo php content into API javascript?

I would need to echo php variables (from the server and related to service behaviour) into javascript. For example, "ssl" => "true" and adapt accordingly in javascript. The thing is I'm doing this for some API files I'm writing and I want the client to have direct access to these files (<script src="... .js">) and this forces me to hardcode info that might change in the future across multiple file references. What I'd like to do was something like this, is it possible? (the content to fetch must remain completely private - from the server folders to the php script files - and so it is really not an option to fetch this info using javascript):
api.js
<? //PHP here. (I know...)
(...)
?>
//some javascript
var is_secure = <? echo "true"/"false" ?>
(...)
So that when doing <script src="api.js"/> the user only fetches:
var is_secure = "true";
(...)
or
var is_secure = "false";
(...)
Any idea on how I could do something similar? Thank you very much...
You could just create your PHP file with this line before everything :
header("Content-Type: application/javascript");
EDIT:
I did misunderstood the question. If you want js in an php file, you should do it like this:
header("Content-Type: application/javascript");
OLD ANSWER:
I don't know if you know, but client can't see your php code...
So if You'd:
echo "Something"
The client would only see Something.
It's not clear, what you're trying to do...
If you don't want to see Something when you go directly into your "secret" php page, then you should do it like this:
JS:
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'secretfile.php',
dataType: 'html',
data: {apiRequest: 1},
success: function (response) {
yourVar = response;
}
});
PHP:
If ($_POST['apiRequest']==1){
echo "Something";
}
yourVar would be = "Something"
If you'd go to this page, it wouldn't display anything;

Inserting Javascript variable into PHP

I want to paste two variables from javascript to PHP so I tried
$.post("index.php", {myQuery: myFinalSQL, action: "show_all_stories_sorting"});
where myFinalSQL is a string in javascript
In index.php, I try to printout the myFinalSQL with
echo $_POST['myQuery'];
But it didn't work. Would you please tell me how to insert javascript variables to PHP?
You using wrong approach.
It is bad way to interract with server by such method (inserting php variable in <? ?> tags into script tag).
You should use this:
$.post("ajax.php/myGlobalAction", params, callback);
In callback you will do with your data all what you need.
Example:
var params = {
id: 5
};
$.post( "ajax.php?action=getSqlQueryForSomething", params , function( data ) {
$( ".sqlQuery" ).html( data.sqlQuery );
});
So you have complex architecture problem if you need to work with php and js like this. Change your architecture before it's too late.
If you want to add value from PHP to Javascript you can use :
<script>
var myQuery = "<?php echo $myQuery; ?>;
</script>
But, if you want to add value from Javascript to PHP, you'r not allowed because PHP is server based and javascript is text based.
If you used $.post() :
$.post("index.php", {myQuery: myFinalSQL}, *your_javascript_action* );
in your index.php, you can use this :
if(isset($_POST['myQuery'])){ // checking method
echo $_POST['myQuery'];
}

Ajax after success, how to pass data to a variable to php

I have script like this
function getval(sel) {
var id= sel.value;
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"./tab.php",
data:{id:id,task:'search'},
success: function(response){
//(I don't know what i should write for pass to php code)
}
});
}
I don't know how I can pass data response to php code ?
For Example: if I alert response, it's show 123 .so I want pass value 123 to a variable in php
$id = 123
response is the result passed BY php, not TO php. What's passed to php is the id and the task.
In your tab.php, you can access these two values :
<?php
$id = $_POST['id'];
$task = $_POST['task'];
//do anything you want with it...
?>
This is not the right workflow. PHP executes on runtime, so every time the page has finished loading you can't really put variables back into PHP (unless you reload the page). This is where AJAX comes in, so you can call PHP scripts from JavaScript / jQuery and don't have to reload the page every time.
The right thing to do is to either store the variable you have generated in the tab.php script in a database, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE or something similar like so:
//put this at the top of all your php scripts you want to use the variable in
session_start();
//now store the variable you wanted to pass (in tab.php)
$_SESSION['returnValue'] = $myValue;
Now if you want to use the variable in other pages just echo it like so (remember to add session_start() at the top of the PHP script.
echo $_SESSION['returnValue'];
First of all, start by reading this
To answer your question,
function getval(sel) {
var id= sel.value;
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"./tab.php",
data:{id:id,task:'search'},
success: function(response){
//(I don't know what i should write for pass to php code)
}
});
}
The result from id and task are sent via $_POST (type:"POST") to the page tab.php (url:"./tab.php"). If you want to do that on a different page, just change the url in your ajax call: url:"./any_other_page.php" and the posted values will be sent there
Finally, read THIS post as well. It is greatly written and very well explained.
Hope it helps!
Keep on coding!

How to pass a value from JavaScript in php?

Translate translator from Google. So that did not swear if something is not clear. Itself from Russia.
The question arose. How to pass the value of the alert in the javascript in the variable $ value in php, and write it in the case file. And another question: how to hide the alert? or use instead to visually it was not visible, but the value was passed?
//a lot of code
{
console.log(data);
alert(data['value']);
}
});
So. Also there is a PHP script that writes logs (current page and the previous one) to a file. According to this principle here:
//a lot of code
$home = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$value = how the value of the java script to convey here?;
$lines = file($file);
while(count($lines) > $sum) array_shift($lines);
$lines[] = $home."|".$referer."|".$value."|\r\n";
file_put_contents($file, $lines);
It is necessary that the value of js is transferred to the php-script and write to the file. How to do it? Prompt please. I am a novice in all of this.
PHP scripts run before your javascript, which means that you can pass your php variables into javascript, but not the other way around. However, you can make an AJAX POST request from JavaScript to your PHP script, and grab the POST data in PHP through the global $_POST variable.
Assuming you use jQuery, your JavaScript would look something like:
// assign data object:
var data = { value: "test" };
// send it to your PHP script via AJAX POST request:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://your-site-url/script.php",
data: data
});
and your PHP script would look like:
// if the value was received, assign it:
if(isset($_POST['value']))
$value = $_POST['value'];
else
// do something else;
