Jquery include problem

Hello,

I want to change the value of php include() with jquery and this is how i did it.

$.post(\'page.php\', {
        include : id  //We set the id to be passed to the page here
    }, function(result){
        $(\'#emptyDiv\').append(result);
    }, \'text\');
}

<div id="out_info">
<div><p><?php if(isset($_POST['include'])){ 
          include('../upload/info/' . $_POST['include'] . '.txt');} ?>
         </p></div>
     <p><div id="emptyDiv"></div><p>
</div>

I get really strange problem. The emptyDiv gets filled with my html page code and doubles my page.

This sounds like more of a PHP problem than a JS issue. It sounds like you are making a request to page.php, which returns a full HTML page, which is probably how it is supposed to operate. If you just want a snippet of HTML code, you need to only output the code you need from your page.php, rather than an entire HTML page.

You can't change PHP code (running on the server) with Javascript (running in the browser). You can only alter the document that is produced by that PHP code.
