I have some inline jQuery mixed with PHP and i want to do something like this:
$("#someDiv").html("<?php include(page.php); ?>")
The problem is that ill get "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" errors due to new line characters and i think also double quote characters inside page.php.
My question is how can i go about doing an include() into a html() without worrying about illegal characters?
Thanls
The best way to do this is using AJAX. jQuery has something implemented called $.get, as well as $.post (which you can use for post data). Since you just want to include, we can use $.get which is 2 lines of code.
$.get("page.php", function(data){
$("#someDiv").html(data);
})
Define the page in the first parameter, then a callback function as the second parameter. The variable inside the callback function will be the data that is returned. Then inside the callback function, simply set the html of the desired div, and if you want to do some kind of success message with alert() too, that's always an option.
I hope this helps; you avoid the long winded AJAX method as well as the insecurity of include()-ing inside javascript.
#someDiv? Something like<div id="someDiv"><?php include (page.php);?></div>.someDivis located in another partial view
