AJAX+PHP problem

Hi folks,

I have a problem with which im strugling for two days now. I searched on Google but can't find a solution.

When I call the PHP file directly there are no problems, but when I call the PHP file through AJAX nothing happens because the site I'm trying to open with the PHP file() doesn't seem to be read. When I display the variable $rc in Ajax it displays 0. If anyone can give me a hint why I have this problem, I would be very very thankful. God bless & merry christmas!


Javascript code:

		function createRequestObject() {
		    var ro;
		    var browser = navigator.appName;
		    if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
		        ro = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
		    }else{
		        ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
		    }
		    return ro;
		}

		var http = createRequestObject();

		function sndReq(formname) {
			 var form = document.getElementById(formname);
			 var submitstring = "";
			 for(var i=0;i<form.length;i++) {
				  submitstring = submitstring + form.elements[i].name + "=" + form.elements[i].value + "&";
			 }
			 alert(submitstring);


		    http.open('get', 'retrieve.php?links='+submitstring);
		    http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
		    http.send(null);
		}

		function handleResponse() {
		    if(http.readyState == 4){
		        var response = http.responseText;
		        var update = new Array();

		        if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {
		            update = response.split('|');
		            document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
		        }
		    }
		}

Code (markup):

HTML code:

<form method="post" id="lb_form" action="">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td>
			<textarea name="links" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td><input type="button" value="Retrieve related links" onclick="javascript:sndReq('lb_form');return false;"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>
			  <div id="out"></div>

			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
	</form>

Code (markup):

Part of the PHP Code:

$alexac  = preg_replace("@[\r\n]@", "", preg_replace($search,$replace,trim(implode('', file("http://www.*****.com/***/**/***/".$website."?page=1&q=link:".$website)))));

$rcount = preg_match_all("@1- 10of (.*?) linked to@mis", $alexac, $rcout);

$rc = floor(intval(str_replace(",","",$rcout[1][0]))/10);

Code (markup):

 

This is a bug. You probably want

response.indexOf('|')  != -1

Code (markup):

.

In the mean time log $rc to a file on your server after you assign to it to see if it contains what it should. I use error_log for this.

$rc = floor(intval(str_replace(",","",$rcout[1][0]))/10);

error_log  ("\$rc = $rc\n", 3,  'debug.log.txt');
