Ajax method give me back allows an 404 error

[Marco Ro]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is a pw issue, anyway I would like to check. 

I have ajax call for a contact form that give me back every time an 404 error. I tried differente solution but doesn't work.

I tried: 

• <?php echo $config->urls->templates?>
• <?= $pages->get('/')->url ?>

In both cases the url isn't wrong, but in console keep show me the 404 error. 

This is my ajax code

var datiform = $("#Form").serialize();
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>form/engine.php",
	data: datiform,
    crossDomain: true,
	dataType: "html",
        success: function(){
            alert("success" + datiform);
         },
         error: function(){
            alert("no success " + datiform);
        }
	});

 

I can't understand why <?php echo $config->urls->templates?> not works, if it works well example for the pictures.

There is a big world around PW! every time discover something new it leaves me speechless! But yes, don't have possibility to directly access php files in the "templates"  directory and other locations in PW's file system it's really a great things! Good to know, I was going crazy o.o 

Thank you (again) @Zeka fro your support!

Sorry @Zeka there is the possibility the pw block or do something else to the data ? if I try to use parse_str  to decode them not works? 

I mean I have this ajax:

var data = $("#FormWksp").serialize();

  //chiamata ajax
    $.ajax({

    	type: "POST",
    	url: "form-wksp-engine.php",
		  data: data,
		  dataType: "html",
	    success: function()
	    	{
          alert("success" + data );
	     	},
	    error: function()
	    	{
          alert("no success " + data);
	    	}
	    });

And then I try to take it in this way in the engine.php file

  $email = urldecode($_POST['email']);  // this works 
  $phone = urldecode($_POST['phone']); // this works 
  $company = urldecode($_POST['company']); // this works 
  $nation = urldecode($_POST['nation']); // this works 
  $messaggio = urldecode($_POST['messaggio']); // this works 


  $_POST_data = urldecode($_POST["data"]); // this no works 
  $articles = [];
  parse_str($_POST_data, $articles);

  $nome = $articles['nome']; // this no works 

I will use the $articles for make a foreach($articles as $name => $value).

But suppose the $_POST_data = urldecode($_POST["data"]) or $_POST_data = $_POST["data"] get the data, but is not so. Could be the pw in some way do something? 

Because now I move outside the root the engine.php for test it, and works, but this data not pass.

You still posting to PHP file.  Instead, you can create a template, for example 'ajax'. Create a template file for this template. Now you have endpoint URL for your requests. 

site.com/ajax/

Then in your template file, you can do something like

if($config->ajax) {
	if($input->post->email) {
		do something
	}
} else {
	// $session->redirect("/"); 
	// or
	//throw new Wire404Exception();
}

Furthermore, you can enable URL segments for 'ajax' template and then you will be able to make requests to URLs like 'ajax/form/', 'ajax/cta/' etc.

if($input->urlSegment2)
throw new Wire404Exception();
if(!$config->ajax) 
throw new Wire404Exception();

if($input->urlSegment1 && $input->urlSegment1 == 'form') {
	do something
}

Hope you got the main idea.

ok, but I have move outside pw the engine.php, now is in the same folder of site and wire folders.

If I use the normal $email = urldecode($_POST['email']);   I can take data to send the e-mail.

so, I need anyway to make a template inside the site/template and create a template e page in the backend?

I found the problem and not was about pw. I don't need use parse_str because the date are already in array. So $POST = $_POST; it's enough.
