Question

Here is the source code:

    $(document).ready(function(){

        $.post("scan.php?dir=<?=$_POST['dir']?>", function(data){

            alert(data);

        });

    });

The generated code is:

    $(document).ready(function(){

        $.post("scan.php?dir=C:\xampp\htdocs\windowsMedias\music", function(data){

            alert(data);

        });

    });

But it won’t work (google chrome returns the error in the title).

If I add the generated code manually, without PHP, it works.

Someone knows how to fix it?

Answer 1

You need to urlencode your parameter.

$.post("scan.php?dir=<?= urlencode($_POST['dir']) ?>", function(data){
  alert(data);
});
