Hi,

         This is my first post in this forum and am a PHP beginner. I have written a script in php and need to use echo to see the values of variables etc. However I dont get the output on the screen while using echo . I am using Xampp server with Apache.

The startup.html file code is

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <title>Test Page</title>
   
        <script>
             $.ajax(
                    {
                        url: "http://localhost:8081/test.php",
                        type: 'POST',
                        dataType: 'text',
                        data: {latitude: '7.15588546', longitude: '81.5659984458'},
                        success: function (response)
                        {
                            alert(response);
                        },
                        
                        error: function (response)
                        {
                            alert(response);
                        }
                        
                    });
      
        </script>

        </head>
    <body>
    <p>hello</p>
    </body>
</html>

 

and the test.php code is

<?php

$lat = $_REQUEST['latitude'];
$lon = $_REQUEST['longitude'];

echo 'latitude- '.$lat . ', longitude- ' . $lon;
?>

Please help

regards

Make sure you have error reporting on -
 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

If that isn't working then your local server isn't set up right. 

To test if you local server is working properly create a php info file. 

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

Whenever i use echo in the php file the ajax call returns a Parserror. If i remove echo then the ajax call is a success. Hope that helps . I am at my wits end really . I tried calling  phpinfo() . But it shows nothing. What do i do to set the Xampp server right. ?
