Hi, I am using the ZF mvc pattern but a complete newbie, and using my own code style in a lot of areas of my site. I would like to make a simple ajax-based functionality (using Prototype JS's "AjaxUpdater function) . All I need to do is:
i) Write my code for the main page which will display a div id which will be used for the ajax result (I can do this from the view/controller scripts) ii) use AjaxUpdater to call the url "http://mydomain.com/myscript.php"; and return the result in the above div iii) Write the code for myscript.php to simply return a result as pure HTML The problem is, if I try to access http://mydomain.com/myscript.php, it will not actually go to the script, but instead ZF will look for controllers and views of this script and try to generate a new html page with the site's usual headers and footers. This is because my .htaccess file has been set up as described in the ZF newbie documentation. However, I do not want html headers and footers returned back..I simply want myscript.php to return the html it is supposed to return... and nothing else..as this html will be placed in the div above. So, the solution here is to create a public directly called "my_direct_scripts" or something and store myscript.php in that. I will then modify the .htaccess file to EXCLUDE this directory from redirection, so that scripts within it can be accessed directly. Then my ajax function should work. I just want to make sure I'm doing this the right way, or if anyone would recommend something different? Many thanks!
