I’m writing a website that gets data from another domain. The purpose is that people can lookup when there are roadblocks ’cause of work and events. Everything works, except the cross-domain request.

I’ve searched the web for “simple” php-proxies, but whatever I do, it doesn’t work on my site. Also, keep in mind, I’m completely new to PHP and working with ajax.
Here’s the code:

Here’s the code for my script:

function searchWorkAssignments(datums, nisCode)
   {
      $("#Werkopdrachten").html("");
        $("#detail_info").html("");
        clearMap();
      var nisCode = 31043;
      var path = encodeURIComponent('DataService/GipodService.svc/GetWerkopdrachtenAsJson?starttijdstip=' + datums[0] + '&eindtijdstip=' + datums[1] + '&startpositie=1&maxrecords=25&niscode=' + nisCode);
      var url = 'proxy.php?url=' + path;
        if (nisCode.length !== 0) {
         $.ajax({
            url: url,
            cache: false,
            type: 'GET',
            success: function (data, status, xhr) {
            alert(data.length);
               showResults(data);
            },
            error: function (xhr, status, error) {
               alert("Fout bij het laden van werkopdrachten!");
            }
         });
      }
   }

Can someone please show me what I’m doing wrong and maybe point to the right direction?

My question is are cross domain requests allowed? I know they are blocked in JS for security reasons. Look up CORS =)

Making cross-domain calls via a proxy is a simple solution, assuming you do it right. Basically, you need 3 things: the target URL, and parameters and the “verb” (GET, POST, etc.). Your code is fine, except you’re passing all this stuff as var url = ‘proxy.php?url=’ + path, yet you’re trying to access it in your PHP as $_POST[‘yws_path’]. The fix is simple – either change your JS to ‘proxy.php?yws_path=’ or change your PHP to $_POST[‘url’] and $_GET[‘url’].
