I have two sites, site A is just html and javascript, and site B has php. What I need is to get variables from site B in site A.
EX:
site A is like
<html>
<head>
<script>
//this script has to get the values from siteB
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div><!-- here i will do something with the data of site B --></div>
</body>
</html>
Site b is like:
<?php
var1= "something";
var2= "somethingElse";
?>
I was thinking to use JSON or Ajax but i do not understand exactly how.
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "filename.html",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
// data will contain var1 and var2
},
error: function(data) {
alert("Problem - perhaps malformed JSON?");
}
});
});
and change your PHP file to be something like:
{
"var1" : "something",
"var2" : "somethingElse"
}
Confirmed to work. Make sure that your file is a well-formed JSON, otherwise "success" won't be fire.
Note - I am implying usage of JQuery here. Your HTML file should include:
<script type="txt/javascript" src="jquery-1.8b1.js"></script>
$ is undefined.File B
<?php
$array[var1] = 'Something';
$array[var2] = 'else';
echo json_encode( $array );
File A (jQuery)
$.getJSON( $( 'file.php', function( data ) {
$( 'div' ).html( data.var1 + ' ' + data.var2 );
}
Edited -- As mentioned, can't do this cross domain without doing some other measures.
Javascript cannot use ajax cross site, for security reasons. The only way to make this happen is to have but one php file on site A that can redirect.
<?php echo file_get_contents($_GET["url"]); ?>
And the javascript can call the url:
/redir.php?url=http://siteb.com/valuetoget.php
There is no way that I know of to do this with no php on the calling website.
