    <p>So I have a very simple request. I am trying to make a call using jQuery to a php file so that the file's response will be put into a "div". I know there are other posts but for some reason none of them seem to be working for me.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <p><strong>gettable.php</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "&lt;p&gt;Great-Success&lt;/p&gt;"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>sequencingfile.html</strong></p> <pre><code>jQuery("#tableHolder").load("/path/to/php-file/gettable.php", function(response, status, xhr) { alert(response); alert(status); alert(xhr); if (status == "error") { console.log(msg + xhr.status + " " + xhr.statusText); } }); </code></pre> <p><strong>Notes</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>The contents of the div changes to this:</p> <p>Great-Success</p> <p>"; ?></p></li> <li><p>The html code is run after you click a button</p></li> <li>The div which I am trying to load the echo from the php call has id "tableHolder".</li> <li>I am running this on the firefox, it doesn't work on chrome at all.</li> <li>The response is the actual contents of the php file itself.</li> <li>The status is "success".</li> <li><p>The xhr is "[object Object]"</p></li> <li><p>Eventually I am trying to call the php file to query from a mysql database to create a table(if you know of a better and more efficient way of doing this please let me know), but for now all I want is the echo of the php call to come back and be put into the div as it should.</p></li> <li>The file is set locally</li> <li>The computer is linux</li> <li>That's all the detail I can think of, please let me know if you need any more details</li> </ul> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Alright I have set up an apache server and changed the link to <code>http://127.0.0.1/gettable.php</code> and it still doesn't work. When I type that url into firefox or chrome it works, but not when I run the html file. What am I doing wrong?</p>

    2. COThe reason is you are not running it on any server, so php code are not able to compile. Install wamp/zamp and run your file on localhost.

    3. COno it is not on a webserver, it is just on a random folder on the computer like the desktop folder or documents or downloads. Should I put the php or the html in a different folder?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
