Ajax and PHP: XMLHTTP

<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

Can I replace the above with some sort of XMLHTTP request?

Googling now... thought I would ask here first.

Any good links to tuts that might cover that sort of thing?

Kinda thinking about plugging some Ajax into a random image php script.

TIA. :)
Cheers,
Micky

I think that is a javascript question is it not? Unless you mean to use
curl or some such.

As noted, that's a javascript question. However your PHP code is
vulnerable to XSS attacks; you should at least encode the output with
htmlspecialchars() so that URLs like
"foo.php/<script>alert('hi');</script>" are safe.
eg. <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>

What do you exactly want to do?

Hi all, thanks for responses, I appreciate it. :)

Oh, I wanted to call a php function on my page that changes some CSS. I
was hoping I could change my CSS on the fly without having to reload
page... but after doing more research, I think that a page refresh is
best way to go.

All the Ajax/PHP examples i have seen deal with elements on page (in
this case i have PHP script in head that changes my css)... Still new to
"Ajax" and XMLHTTP... I know how to handle JS, but I am way more
comfortable with PHP. Not too many examps on the web that show some good
techniques for calling PHP functions to manipulate CSS that I could find.

I am also not a big fan of plugging-in a huge Ajax scripting
library(ies) for something as simple as calling a PHP script to
manipulate CSS. I would prefer simple on the JS end of things and make
it more about PHP without a page refresh. :D

Lol, hope that makes sense... In a bit of a rush - headed out door to
work. :)

You guys are right though, I should probably ask on the JS listserv.

Many thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Micky

using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is riskless as it represents "The filename
of the currently executing script", unlike REQUEST_URI
