[SOLVED] Ajax / SEO Url Problem

[elgoog]

I have SEO Urls on my site and when trying to use any ajax such as below or dynamic dropdowns etc

 

w3schools.com/PHP/php_ajax_database.asp

 

They all work fine when i use the script on the page www.example.com/page

 

but when a trailing slash is added  www.example.com/page/

 

Any ajax script is calling in another copy of the entire page, not just what is contained in the external php file like it does without the slash

 

Does anyone know why this is happening?

 

Thanks in advance

this most likely has to do with your url rewrite. the www.example.com/page makes a call to page.php  and with the slash it doesnt make a call to the right page.

 

what kind of webserver do you use is it IIS or Apache?

[elgoog]

Is Apache (WAMP Server).

 

Also appears to be doing same on hosted server

 

The page is not page.php it is called page and forcetype used to make it parse as php

if the file litterly is called page then its different you are not using a url rewrite at all.

www.example.com/page

calls the page and parses the php code inside that file

 

www.example.com/page/

this will look in the directory called page instead of parsing the page file(which prob leads to an error)

what you could do is url rewrite

www.example.com/page/ so it opens the file

Thanks Dj Kat

 

Instead of trying to call the external file with external.php

 

i called it using the whole path www.example.com/page/external.php

 

Seems like it was looking for the file in the page/ directory and not the root.
