ajax url path

Hi Guys.

I have a ajax.php at C://xampp/htdocs/myWebsite/autocomplete/ajax.php

where all the queries and data retrieved from MySQL are stated in here.

Then I have a auto.js at C://xampp/htdocs/myWebsite/autocomplete/js/auto.js
auto.js:

$('#countryname_1').autocomplete({
                      source: function( request, response ) {
                          $.ajax({
                              url : 'ajax.php',
                              dataType: "json",
                            data: {
                               name_startsWith: request.term,
                               type: 'country_table',
                               row_num : 1
                            },
                             success: function( data ) {
                                 response( $.map( data, function( item ) {
                                     var code = item.split("|");
                                    return {
                                        label: code[0],
                                        value: code[0],
                                        data : item
                                    }
                                }));
                            }
                          });
                      },
                      autoFocus: true,             
                      minLength: 0,
                      select: function( event, ui ) {
                        var names = ui.item.data.split("|");
                        console.log(names[1], names[2], names[3]);                        
                        $('#country_no_1').val(names[1]);
                        $('#phone_code_1').val(names[2]);
                        $('#country_code_1').val(names[3]);
                    }                 
                  });

Code (markup):

my index.php is in C://xampp/htdocs/myWebsite/ABC/index.php

Any idea how should

url: 'ajax.php'

Code (markup):

be? I tried

url: '../autocomplete/ajax.php'

Code (markup):

but to no avail.

 

just use ajax.php full URI like ht tp://<yoursite>/ajax.php

 

Technically, if your site is at ABC/, the rest of the folders and files should be subfolders to that folder - normally, on a production server, this will be root, and accessing folders above root is NOT recommended, and might not even be possible
