mod_rewrite messing up my ajax?

[andyrue]

I've been trying to get ajax working on my site, and I finally figured out why I was having such a hard time with it.  I'm using mod_rewrite to make my URLs look like /game/title instead of game.php?title=Yada_Yada

 

this is my .htaccess file

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^game/([^/\.]+)/?$ /game.php?title=$1 [L]

 

if I browse to game.php?title=Yada_yada    my Ajax works great...

 

if I browse to game/yada_yada    my ajax doesn't work.

 

The error I get in Fire Bug is: "xajax_processForm is not defined"

 

I'm using xajax, and registering the function processForm, but it's not working with mod_rewrite.

 

Any ideas how I can fix this?  I'm sure it's just a path problem, but I don't know what to do.

 

Thanks

post your code - would have to look at it

[andyrue]

Here is one of my functions

 

require ("./xajax.inc.php");

function processForm($aFormData,$id)  {  

$who_SQL = "SELECT * FROM who_said WHERE id = '$aFormData[suggest]'";
dbConnect("quotes");
$who_results = mysql_query($who_SQL);
$who_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($who_results);

    $sOut .= "<p>Thank You.  Your vote for <strong>". $who_row['who_said']."</strong> has been recorded.</p>";

    $objResponse = new xajaxResponse();
    
    $objResponse->addAssign("theform$id", "innerHTML", $sOut);  
    
    return $objResponse->getXML();
}

$objAjax = new xajax();

$objAjax->registerFunction('processForm');

$objAjax->processRequests();

$objAjax->printJavascript(); 

 

This is the onsubmit for the form

 

onsubmit="xajax_processForm(xajax.getFormValues('myform<?=$quote_id?>'),<?=$quote_id?>); return false;"

 

The code works great if I turn off mod_rewrite...I think I need to somehow set a base url, but I'm not sure  how to do it.  I've already got

 

<base href="http://www.mysite.com/" />

 

I had to do that to get my images and stuff to load after activating mod_rewrite.  But it doesn't seem to help the ajax calls.  Thanks for looking

Your going to have to use a "RewriteRule" in your htaccess file. I see you tried to do that above; but here is a article explaining how to do this:

is my ReWriteBase Directive bad?  I'm not sure what I need to have my rule do...I need to know why it's having a problem before I can write anything to fix it.

I just found this on codeignitor.

 

If you are using MOD_REWRITE, add the xajax_js in your .htaccess rule to look something like this:

##############################################

#RewriteEngine on

#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|img|css|public|tmp|download|javascript|rte|document|xajax_js|robots\.txt)

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

 

 

I think I might be on to something.  I'm still not getting it to work though.

did you check out the tutorial I posted above:

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,172187.msg763561.html#msg763561

 

I think it will show you how to do this; so that you can rewrite your url to something like this:

 

game/yada_yada/title/1

Ya, I read the tutorial, but I don't understand how making my "virtual" URL more complicated will unconfuse my xajax.  I have already rewritten it to display as www.mysite.com/game/title and my rule has been working just fine...it's just the xajax functions aren't getting registered or something.  I think it's the extra "directory" that is throwing off the xajax functions.  I don't know enough about how it all works to know for sure.

[andyrue]

I figured it out.  Xajax's  printJavascript() function was getting lost because of the /game/title  to fix it I just added  printJavascript ($sJsURI="../")  The "../" puts it back in the root directory where the files actually are.  Works like a charm.  Thanks for your help
