Get The Link Of An Specific Xml File From The Server (php Script) And Load It In Javascript

In the web site I am creating a user can upload and download files and I create an xml log with operation informations. In the website there is a page where a table of the log xml

Solution 1:

for ajax to load it you'd need a file path from your doc-root. so if you want

http://mywebsite/folder1/folder2/log_username.xml

all JS needs is

../folder1/folder2/log_username.xml

then you can use jquery.load() like so

var path = <?phpecho"../folder1/folder2/log_username.xml"; ?>;
 $( "#username" ).load(path);

now instead of that 'php echo...' stuff you'd probably do better to use another ajax request. BUT that will depend on your use case.

Solution 2:

functionloadXML(path, selector)
{
    var xml = newXMLHttpRequest();
    try {
        xml.open("GET", path, false);
        xml.send(null);
    }
    catch (e) {
       //some error stuff
    }
    document.getElementById(selector).innerHTML=xml.responseText;
}

I can't guarentee this works I don't have a server parsing xml stuff at the moment.
