Is there an issue using Titanium.include() in 1.2.0 RC4? - php

Am I the only one having issues with the this?? I haven't got the exact code with me right now but it is something like the following... (this is the simplest of examples I am using to get up and running with TideSDK)
I have in my index.html...
<script>
Titanium.include("testLibrary.php")
</script>
<script>
var testresult = new testMethod();
document.write(testresult);
</script>
And the testLibrary.php file that I have in my resources directory is as simple as...
<?php
function testMethod()
{
$fixedResult = "The most basic php variable for display in the DOM";
return $fixedResult;
}
I have php switched on for packaging etc. It all worked fine when I included the php code within the index file so I know php is working, I just can't get include to work??

Moving my comments to an answer, since not sure WikingFrog got notified via email re: comments
why are you calling new on the method? var testresult = testMethod(); should work
also, you don't need <?php open tag in .php files which maybe the source of your issue.

500 Internal server error with new php files on server (Wordpress/Woocommerce)

I am getting a strange 500 Internal Server Error with a new script I am trying to implement in the actual site. Here's a screen:
![500 Internal][1]
I can route to this files manually without problems and they are working too. But not in the script itself. The Paths are also correct.
Heres the link to the Site:
[>>> Link <<<][2] (just enter R10369 in the input field or a random number)
Everything else is working correctly except these 3 files:
reseller.php,
checkresellerid.php,
resellermail.php
I googled a bit and everywhere is the .htaccess mentioned. but I never modified it or overwrited it. What could be the Problem? Thanks for any Help and sorry for my bad Englisch.
(Let me know if you want to see the php files)
EDIT: I managed to include my new php files into wordpress but i still got the 500 Error
I checked out the website.
I think Wordpress doesn't let you call .php inside of it's system.
I mean you cannot call PHP files for ajax.
You need to use wordpress ajax. Here is a snippet how to use ajax:
Function.php in your theme file.
function myajax()
{
//do stuff
die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_product_s', 'myajax' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_product_s', 'myajax' );
And in your javascript file using jQuery:
The url may change, maybe it's enough to have wp-admin/admin.ajax.php or something like this, i don't really remember right now.
$.post('/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',{action:'myajax',yourdata:"mydata"}).done(function(data)
{
//do stuffs
});
Update:
So basically if you want to have ajax request inside wordpresss, you need to define these things and use it like this. the "action" parameter is the function name which you want to call. And you need to put the PHP code into your current theme's function.php.

Why is javascript not able to use a javascript variable I declared in a php file?

Hey everybody, this issue has had me stumped for the last week or so, here's the situation:
I've got a site hosted using GoDaddy hosting. The three files used in this issue are index.html , milktruck.js , and xml_http_request.php all hosted in the same directory.
The index.html file makes reference to the milktruck.js file with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="milktruck.js"></script>
The milktruck.js file automatically fires when the site is opened. The xml_http_request.php has not fired at this point.
On line 79 out of 2000 I'm passing the variable "simple" to a function within the milktruck.js file with:
placem('p2','pp2', simple, window['lla0_2'],window['lla1_2'],window['lla2_2']);
"simple" was never initialized within the milktruck.js file. Instead I've included the following line of code in the xml_http_request.php file:
echo "<script> var simple = 'string o text'; </script>";
At this point I have not made any reference whatsoever to the xml_http_request.php file within the milktruck.js file. I don't reference that file until line 661 of the milktruck.js file with the following line of code:
xmlhttp.open('GET',"xml_http_request.php?pid="+pid+"&unLoader=true", false);
Everything compiles (I'm assuming because my game runs) , however the placem function doesn't run properly because the string 'string o text' never shows up.
If I was to comment out the line of code within the php file initializing "simple" and include the following line of code just before I call the function placem, everything works fine and the text shows up:
var simple = 'string o text';
Where do you think the problem is here? Do I need to call the php file before I try using the "simple" variable in the javascript file? How would I do that? Or is there something wrong with my code?
So, we meet again!
Buried in the question comments is the link to the actual Javascript file. It's 2,200 lines, 73kb, and poorly formatted. It's also derived from a demo for the Google Earth API.
As noted in both the comments here and in previous questions, you may be suffering from a fundamental misunderstanding about how PHP works, and how PHP interacts with Javascript.
Let's take a look at lines 62-67 of milktruck.js:
//experiment with php and javascript interaction
//'<?php $simpleString = "i hope this works"; ?>'
//var simple = "<?php echo $simpleString; ?>";
The reason this never worked is because files with the .js extension are not processed by PHP without doing some bizarre configuration changes on your server. Being on shared hosting, you won't be able to do that. Instead, you can rename the file with the .php extension. This will allow PHP to process the file, and allow the commands you entered to actually work.
You will need to make one more change to the file. At the very top, the very very top, before anything else, you will need the following line:
<?php header('Content-Type: text/javascript'); ?>
This command will tell the browser that the file being returned is Javascript. This is needed because PHP normally outputs HTML, not Javascript. Some browsers will not recognize the script if it isn't identified as Javascript.
Now that we've got that out of the way...
Instead I've included the following line of code in the xml_http_request.php file: <a script tag>
This is very unlikely to work. If it does work, it's probably by accident. We're not dealing with a normal ajax library here. We're dealing with some wacky thing created by the Google Earth folks a very, very long time ago.
Except for one or two in that entire monolithic chunk of code, there are no ajax requests that actually process the result. This means that it's unlikely that the script tag could be processed. Further, the one or two that do process the result actually treat it as XML and return a document. It's very unlikely that the script tag is processed there either.
This is going to explain why the variable never shows up reliably in Javascript.
If you need to return executable code from your ajax calls, and do so reliably, you'll want to adopt a mature, well-tested Javascript library like jQuery. Don't worry, you can mix and match the existing code and jQuery if you really wanted to. There's an API call just to load additional scripts. If you just wanted to return data, that's what JSON is for. You can have PHP code emit JSON and have jQuery fetch it. That's a heck of a lot faster, easier, and more convenient than your current unfortunate mess.
Oh, and get Firebug or use Chrome / Safari's dev tools, they will save you a great deal of Javascript pain.
However...
I'm going to be very frank here. This is bad code. This is horrible code. It's poorly formatted, the commenting is a joke, and there are roughly one point seven billion global variables. The code scares me. It scares me deeply. I would be hesitant to touch it with a ten foot pole.
I would not wish maintenance of this code on my worst enemy, and here you are, trying to do something odd with it.
I heartily encourage you to hone your skills on a codebase that is less archaic and obtuse than this one before returning to this project. Save your sanity, get out while you still can!
perhaps init your values like this:
window.simple = 'blah blah blah'
then pass window.simple
You could try the debugger to see what is going on, eg. FireBug

Wordpress and AJAX - includeing wp-blog-header breaks the call

I have an ajax.php file in my Wordpress themes folder, and this was working fine on the DEV server. However, when I moved it to another server, the script that I have written no longer works... bizarre!
Im now rolling back to try and find the problem, but its most annoying because the very same version works on another server?!
Here's the code (for what its worth...)
Javascript Call:
function change_event(ID){
//alert("ID: "+ID);
$.post('wp-content/themes/muni/ajaxcalls.php',
{ id: ID },
function(data){
alert('complete: '+data);
//$('#showingevent').html(data);
});
}
ajaxcalls.php
require_once("../../../wp-blog-header.php");
global $more;
At this point, it breaks. There is no point including the code I have written after the require. If I comment this line, the code below works.
If I browse directly to the ajaxcalls.php file, I get the results I am expecting, but it will not feed back to the success function of the ajax call.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers SO!
Tom
edit: I'm firing change_event using this:
$('.eventoption A').click(function(ev){
ev.preventDefault();
change_event($(this).attr('id'));
clearInterval(timer);
});
I've also updated the change_event() function to reflect the one that I'm using rather than the debug that I was using before.
The problem happens as soon as I include the wp-blog-header.php file.
The trick was to include wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php
use this. It is working on localhost, and i hope it will also work for live server.
First get the folder name of the root directory of your site
$folder = substr(substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],1), 0,
strpos(substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],1), "/"));
And then you can get the url for ajax using $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"], $folder and wp-blog-header.php like this:
$ajax_url = realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]).'/'.$folder.'/wp-blog-header.php';

Problem with AJAX and PHP

I have a small problem, I want to load data from a PHP file and put them on a DIV.
Here's the Jquery code
// Store the username in a variable
var jq_username = $("#txt_checkuser").val();
// Prepare the link variable
var link = 'user.php?action=check&username=' + jq_username;
$('div #checkuser_hint').load(link);
So it works! but instead of loading the result (compiled PHP) it loads the PHP code.
If I write the long URL "http://localhost/project..." it doesn't load anything!
Any idea how to do that?
I think you might be accessing your javascript file as a file on your local filesystem, a request to the same directory would go through the filesystem and not through your webserver, processing the PHP into the desired output. This also explains why http://localhost/project for the AJAX call doesn't work: Javascript might be enforcing the same-origin policy on you.
Verify that you're actually accessing this javascript file through http://localhost/ (as opposed to something like file://C:/My PHP Files/ ).
Does the page return anything when you use your browser?
Are you sure it should not be 'div#checkuser_hint' instead of 'div #checkuser_hint' ?
And this looks like the correct way according to the documentation.
var link = 'user.php';
$('div#checkuser_hint').load(link, {'action':'check', 'username':jq_username});
Are you able to access the script manually on your own? (try accessing it via your browser: htp://localhost/...) It may be the case that you're missing your opening <?php and/or closing ?> in the script-file itself.

javascript function not behaving correctly

I have this little function
function makewindows(){
child1 = window.open ("about:blank");
child1.document.write("<?php echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($row2['ARTICLE_DESC']), ENT_QUOTES); ?>");
child1.document.close();
}
Which whatever I try, simply outputs the php code as the html source, and not the result of the php code. This was previously working fine, and I am not sure what I have changed to result in this behavior.
I have pasted all the code now. An error is generated by a link that calls updateByQuery, preventing makewindows from being parsed correctly..I think. I am not sure what is wrong with updateByQuery however:
function updateByQuery(layer, query) {
url = "get_records.php?cmd=GetRecordSet&query="+query+"&sid="+Math.random();
update(layer, url);
}
Have you recently moved this file out of a PHP parsed file (i.e. .phtml/.php) and into a .js file? Note that any PHP you expect to be executed must be parsed by the PHP parser before delivery to the client. If it was originally in a .php file, then it would have been parsed/ executed, and worked fine.
However, .js files are not, by default, parsed by PHP. Perhaps they were, at one point, but your server administrator has recently upgraded something, and lost this behaviour? You may be able to use a local configuration file (in Apache, .htaccess) to re-enable it.
This code must be in a file that is parsed by PHP before being sent to the browser. Make sure it has a ".php" extension (or that Apache/(or other) is configured to put whatever extension it is using through PHP). Also, make sure PHP is installed correctly and working.
I assume you still have it in a file that is parsed by PHP, like the others already have said. Then it is probably something above this code snippet that confuses the php-parser so it don't recognize the php-tag.
To test that, try to output something else before this function, maybe just a comment or something.
Also, use "var" before client1, or else client1 will be in the global scope.
update 1
Since you tried to insert a piece of php-code and it broke, then the problem is that the server don't parse the file as it should.
To test if the server really parses your .js files (its not the default setting I believe), create a new file: test.js
<?php echo "This is a test"; ?>
Open the test.js file in your browser and look at the page source. If it has the php tags your server don't parse .js files.
update 2
If the php works in .js files, try to rewrite the function like this (sorry I have not tested it because I don't have access to a php-server right now)
<?php
echo "function makewindows(){var child1 = window.open (\"about:blank\"); " .
"child1.document.write(\"" . htmlspecialchars(json_encode($row2['ARTICLE_DESC']), ENT_QUOTES) . "\");" . "child1.document.close(); }";
?>
Make sure you are running the page from the webserver like such: http://localhost/yourpage.php and not directly from the file itself like such: file://yourpage.php
I'm not sure if this will help, but best practices dictate that whenever you write to a new window using JavaScript, you should open and close the document. Can you try this?
function makewindows(){
var child1 = window.open ("about:blank");
child1.document.open();
child1.document.write("<?php echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($row2['ARTICLE_DESC']), ENT_QUOTES); ?>");
child1.document.close();
}
