Ajax not sending request to php when url directory changes
Zuckerberg
Now, this query is really not being asked and I ended up dropping the service because I couldn't find a sensible answer to my query.
On my apache2 server, I've enabled rewrite rules in the .htaccess file in the root directory to keep pointing everything except directories and files to a certain php file at all times, this works fine, but when The ajax script fails when the url changes directory.
This is the php script [testing...]
<?php
//now if run the test using the root directory, i get clear response,
//but as i have told u, i have enabled apache2 module and added rewrite rules to .htaccess,
//meaning that no matter hat the url is, the url will keep pointing to the same file but the problem
// is that the ajax script does not fire p the request / send.
//i dont jnow what i am doing wrong...
if(isset($_GET['test_changes'])){
echo 'the request has now reached the server';
exit;
}
?>
this is the ajax script
<script>
//my ajax script is like this
//the url seen below is in the root directory.
//So briefly,how would i keep this url pointing to the same php file even if the directory changes
$.ajax({
url:'test.php?test_changes=123456789',
cache:false,
async:true,
method:'GET',
success:function(response){
console.log(response)
},
error:function(error){
console.log(error)
}
})
</script>

Please use absolute urls to get the job done...see code below
<?php
//it would still received the request
if(isset($_GET['test_changes'])){
echo 'the request has now reached the server';
exit;
}
?>
<script>
//i had a little trouble thinking this through but i got it working after sometime
//Now You need you ajax script url to be absolute to achieve something like that
//by prepending a forward slash character to your URL
$.ajax({
url:'/test.php?test_changes=123456789',
cache:false,
async:true,
method:'GET',
success:function(response){
console.log(response)
},
error:function(error){
console.log(error)
}
})
</script>
