AJAX.Lastdata Problem

Hello -

I am still very new to construct2.

I have a very simple php file on my server that does the following:

<?php

echo "it works";

?>

Now for construct2 I have a single layout with a text object called "Text" that has a default text of "waiting".

My event sheet is:

• System->On start of layout-> AJAX.Request "http://mysite.com/test.php"
• AJAX->On Complete->Text->Set text to ->AJAX.Lastdata
• AJAX->On Error->Text->Set text to ->"Error"

No matter what I am getting an error.

Please note that I have had 100% success with adding data to mysql through php that originates in construct2... the problem I am getting is receiving data back from php on my server (with or without placing the files on my server).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Have you seen the section in the manual about cross-domain or preview AJAX requests? Is that relevant?

Yes... I am running my files on my own server so there should not be an issue there... please note though that I have been able to historically make this work, but I recently upgraded to construct version r81.

A bug maybe? Sending data to php is still not a problem... my php will even update mysql tables with no issue.

Its just trying to load player data from php. I decided to drop the complexities of tokenat, etc and attempt to just make a simple project that will simply indicate that the receiving of data works. Not working, but I hope I am not missing anything... that would be embarrassing. LOL

Oh and one more thing... simply loading the php page in the browser works. ;-)

No browser errors either (IE, Firefox, etc)

Here are the links... may be helpful:

PHP:

walkmans-games.com/z/test2.php

CONSTRUCT

walkmans-games.com/z/index.html

FIXED IT!!!

Upon further review I found that I had to place the following into my php file....

"header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');"

Sorry... I'm used to working with flash. A lot of this is new for me.

Thanks! :D

I'm attempting the same thing. I have WAMPSERVER/localhost setup with a PHP file on it. I want to be able to access that file with AJAX in preview mode.

I added "header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');" to the index.php file on my localhost and I'm still unable to make it work. If I export the project and put it on my local server it works, but I don't want to have to do that every time I want to test the game.

Any ideas on why this might not be working for me? Are there any browser settings I have to change, etc?

Edit: This is the browser error I'm getting:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load localhost/dialog_test/dialog.php. Origin localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Edit 2: Figured it out. I had to add "header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');" to the PHP file I wanted to access. It's working now.

I'm trying to access a php file but can't get to work.. this is the php file:

<?php

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

?>

Now I really don't know what to do.. how do I request some information from the php?

Can any1 make any example please?

I just want to AJAX to retrieve some text information from a file in another domain.

any1?

edit: It's working now!

Had to put the file at a webserver instead of dropbox.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to delete this quote... I want just to thank You, agout1014, bye!

Uhmmmmm..., I'm new on creator2, I'm working with it from few hours, but the ONLY problem I've found (on a simple game-mysql test) WAS this.

Thanks

I am having a problem to make a restful request with ajax plugin. I already added set header Access Control Allow Origin to * but the browser console kepps saying that the header is not present, would anyone know why?

I had the same problem and this header declaration worked for me too. Thanks for sharing!

I have the same problem, I added header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); to my PHP file but it doesn't work

My event sheet looks like this similar to agouti1014 but without the error message.

From what I can see, it doesn't do the event On complete.

Please help
