Question

I can’t figure out why the following code doesn’t work. For the time being, the php function “alias_valid” just returns a string for testing purposes, so I haven’t included the php function here. The alert is empty.

$.post(SITE_ROOT + "includes/AbstractEvent.php",{
    action:"alias_valid", 
    alias : alias},
    function(v){
        alert(v);
    });

Answer 1

There’s no action argument in $.post. Try to concatenate it to the end of the url instead.

$.post(SITE_ROOT + "includes/AbstractEvent.php/alias_valid/",{ 
    alias : alias},
    function(v){
        alert(v);
    });

But i doubt this will work unless you are using an MVC framework. Or some kind of request routing that calls the specific function within the class.
