Getting PHP output inside Jquery

Question

i know PHP is a server side script and js is a client side but i have an issue..

I needed to bypass the browser security when doing an ajax request to another domain and it was difficult for me to be honest i had no idea what i was doing so i turned to php.. wooohooo....

The issue is i can only use JS and CSS to run arbitrarily ontop of my tracking system!

I wanted to add a newsfeed.csv so i made this php code to get the csv and convert it and store it into the variable $json.

    <?php
$file="http://www.jonar.com/portal/partner/js/newsroomcustomer.csv";
$csv= file_get_contents($file);
$checkit = utf8_encode($csv);
$array = array_map("str_getcsv", explode("\n", $checkit));
$json = json_encode($array);
?>

Is there a way to do an ajax get to get the variables output? meaning the json format of my csv..

This way i can have my PHP script on my webserver and it will be able to grab any link on any domain..

Thanks guys :)

You only missed the one bit to output yout data ... echo $json; — Julio Soares

this is common practice....you are using your server as proxy for ajax request. Don't forget to add some error handling — charlietfl

did you add the echo? Also will have to parse array returned to html in your ajax caallback — charlietfl

are you calling a server? Can't run php without it being on server — charlietfl

Like the comment of Julio said:

Use echo to print the contents of the generated JSON string. It's as easy as echo $json.

Once your PHP script outputs the correct JSON string, you can send an AJAX request to your script with the following code (assuming you're using jQuery, which will make your life easier):

$.get('script.php', function (data) {
   console.log('Data received: ', data);
});

Yes i know that will print my output but how can you implement the output of a file.php inside an ajax request? or any type or request

here's the issue i was having even with echo $json; when i use your script or even an ajax call it returns the contents of the PHP file.. not the json string.. it gives me the whole php function @hidde
