Question

I want to post to an external php file and get the result. It a php that i have hosted in my server online. I want the static page in my localhost post by ajax and load the html in a div. But I’m not able to do this.

$.post("http://www.site.com/index.php", { font: "panchami", input: "hi" } );

Is there anything wrong in this?

Answer 1

Javascript doesn’t allow cross domain requests.

What you can do is a PHP file on your server that reads the contents of the other site:

<?php echo file_get_contents($_REQUEST['url']); ?>

Then make requests to your file, like so:

$.post("proxy.php?url=external_url", ...);
