How to call test.php

[kalekseishaken]

My problem is simple (or at least I thought so). I want to run a PHP script file.

My problem is how do I call the script file without wiping out the current page.

I have a bunch of HTML pages that I use to gather data, and a bunch of PHP files that write the files to MySQL databases. Now I need to interface the two.

The folks at Zend said to use Javascript, but I have no idea what JAvascript cvommand to use to call my PHP script. Any and all help appreciated.

how do you plan on submitting the information you gather? will a user be submitting a form? if so, why not just set the target of the form to a blank page? or are you looking for something more like ajax, which will allow you to "seemlessly" submit data while remaining on the page?

the first requires only HTML, the second requires a mix of HTML, Javascript and possibly XML.

Hi cLFlaVA,

BAsically, at this point, I would be satisfied to just have my PHP script actually called I can do most of what I need to do on the PHP side. Right now, I can even get my PHP script top execute.

I have tried;

xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)

where the URL is "login.php"

How about showing more of the relevant code you have so we can get a better idea what's happening?
