Question

I make jQuery Ajax request which return output in XML format. i want to access this XML in PHP to Process on data. Below is sample of my code...

getTime.php File

<?php
    header("Content-type: text/xml");

    echo '<Dates>';

    echo '<Now ';
    echo 'val="' . date("h:m:s") . '" ';

index.php File

jQuery(document).ready(function(e) {
    $('#btnTime').click(function(){
        getData("GetTime.php");
    });
});
function getData(strUrl)
{
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: strUrl,
        dataType: "xml",
        success: function(output){
                    // I want to Retrieve this XML Object (output) to PHP
        }
    });
}

How can I access XML outputed by jQuery in PHP ? Please help me..

You need to make another call to your webserver in the success callback.

function getData(strUrl)
{
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: strUrl,
        dataType: "xml",
        success: function(output){
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: strUrlToPostXml,
                dataType: "xml",
                success: function(output){
                    // Whatever you want, the Xml has been successfully posted back to Php
                }
            });
        }
    });
}

But it's quite weird to do that though: it would be much better to have everything done on the server side using the initial call.
