#25657 — can javascript post a link to a php file?

In the script for the html5 audio player I am using, there is a bit of code
that changes the active "<li>" class to "playing".
It is at this point in time I need to send a bit of information to a php
file to update the database with.
What could I use to do this with?


    <script>
      $(function() { 
        // Setup the player to autoplay the next track
        var a = audiojs.createAll({
          trackEnded: function() {
            var next = $('ol li.playing').next();
            if (!next.length) next = $('ol li').first();
            next.addClass('playing').siblings().removeClass('playing');
            audio.load($('a', next).attr('data-src'));
            audio.play();
          }
        });
        
        // Load in the first track
        var audio = a[0];
            first = $('ol a').attr('data-src');
        $('ol li').first().addClass('playing');
        audio.load(first);

        // Load in a track on click
        $('ol li').click(function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          $(this).addClass('playing').siblings().removeClass('playing');
          audio.load($('a', this).attr('data-src'));
          audio.play();
        });
        // Keyboard shortcuts
        $(document).keydown(function(e) {
          var unicode = e.charCode ? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
             // right arrow
          if (unicode == 39) {
            var next = $('li.playing').next();
            if (!next.length) next = $('ol li').first();
            next.click();
            // back arrow
          } else if (unicode == 37) {
            var prev = $('li.playing').prev();
            if (!prev.length) prev = $('ol li').last();
            prev.click();
            // spacebar
          } else if (unicode == 32) {
            audio.playPause();
          }
        })
      });
    </script>

ajax, aka httprequest. You need to make one.

(_AJAX_, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a misnomer.  In this case, it 
does not have to be asynchronous, it does not have to be JavaScript, and it 
does not have to be XML; the request can be handled synchronously, the 
programming language can be JScript, for example, and the data format to be 
used should be JSON, if any.

> aka httprequest

is insufficient a term/hint.  The proper term and more helpful hint is 
_XMLHttpRequest_ or _XMLHTTPRequest_, commonly abbreviated XHR.

He needs (the client) to make an _HTTP request_, and can do that with XHR, 
*for example*.

He should stop abusing domains, too, see <http://example.com/>.

What I posted was plenty enough, with an intelligent bit of googling.
If he can't figure it out from that, he shouldn't be bothering at all.
This is an opportunity for him to do it all by himself.

It may have been enough for him, but it was still wrong.

example.com is setup for use in documents with no permission needed.
The home page used to have a statement saying that people could use the
domain in usenet addy's at will.
Know what you're talking about before getting your ass kicked.

The other addy I used for years member@newsguy.com, was used with
permission.
As any emails to it were simply discarded.

That is oversimplifying the matter.

It does not have such a statement now and it never had.  Usenet postings are 
_not_ “examples in documentation”.  RFC 2606 is very specific about the use 
of those domains, so is that Web site.  Your use of that domain is actually 
network *abuse*.

> Know what you're talking about before getting your ass kicked.

You should heed your own advice.

> As any emails to it were simply discarded.

That is anti-social and generally unwise.  Private e-mail (PM) is an 
important feedback channel on Usenet.  You would fare better there if you 
did not block it in advance.

How strange that you did not refer to the other, much larger part of my 
posting, in which I gave relevant relevant technical advice (to you).

Of course. How often has bullis been known to say "Thank you" in all
the thousands (millions?) of times he's been given free help?
