responseText returns my entire PHP code

[bryant]

Hi -- i'm a n00b to php and have started to take on some very basic php ajax tutorials...

 

so ive got the basic setup with a html page, javascript file and a php file...im doing a very basic call to the php that is just supposed to return my name.

 

when the xmlHTTP object gets returned the responseText property is the all the code from my php file...

 

ive tried two different tutorials with the same result.. could it be somthing with the configuration of my server?

Either the .php file is not being parsed as php code or the code in that file is not being parsed as php code.

 

What is your php file name and post the php code for us to examine, including any opening and closing php tags in that file.

Can you post some code for us to look at?

here is one

 

<?php

$q = $_GET["q"];

echo "Bryant " . $q

?>

 

 

and here is another

 

<?php 

if(isset($_GET['inputText'])) {
	$uppercase = strtoupper($_GET['inputText']);
	echo $uppercase;
}

?>

That looks ok but what does the javascript page look like. If we cant see what the page is doing we cant help you.

Hey,

the issue could be with your query string, try using the full url instead of the page alone.

var queryString = "http://localhost//quickstart//upperCase.php?";

 

instead of

var queryString = "upperCase.php?";
