Question

I am running WordPress on my localhost and trying to send request from a file of my plugin to another file called photos.php using ajax, I have correctly written the address of file in xmlhttp.open function but it runs into following error.

Not Found

The requested URL /wordpress/wp-admin/wp-content/plugins/myphoto/photos.php was not found on this server.

the actual address of the file is /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/myphoto/photos.php

xmlhttp.open("GET","wp-content/plugins/myphoto/photos.php?c="+option,true);
            xmlhttp.send();

Answer 1

Try setting the absolute path:

xmlhttp.open("GET","/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/myphoto/photos.php?c="+option,true);

Your error implies you’re using the relative path. Directory /wordpress/wp-admin/wp-content... does not exist.
