I am using mod_rewrite to remap the URLs in my website in the following format:
http://www.mydomain.com/health/54856
The problem is that I am making AJAX calls to a file: http://www.mydomain.com/login.php
And I don't want to write the FULL url or even use the ../ trick because there isn't a fixed level of folders.
So, what i want is something to access the login.php from the root, whatever the domain name is:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://www.mydomain.com/login.php"
});
What about:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/login.php"
});
Make sure that you allow access to /login.php from your mod_rewrite rules.
You could also define a variable for JS to use in your HTML head:
<script type="text/javascript">
// siteRoot will be equal to http://www.yourdomain.com/
var siteRoot = '<?php echo $theSiteRoot; ?>';
<script>
And then append the siteRoot variable in your AJAX calls.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: siteRoot+"login.php"
});
Just make sure to print the siteRoot variable before including your .js files.
Another way to get this working is using the HTML base tag. All the client-side requests will be made on that target. Include it before any link/script declaration.
<base href="<?php echo $theSiteRoot; ?>" />
Hope this helps :)
Edit:
Your wont need to append anything to your AJAX calls if you make use of the base tag method. Just a plain call will do the trick.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "login.php"
});
