It seemed to be a syntax error just as I tought, the link to the PHP file had to start from the root up and most important of all, I did have to use the right ' or "...

OK Shame on me, but I did look over it, so I hope will not struggle that long again over something silly like that...

Justsomeguy thx for your help.

Grtz Trace7r.

This is a module in a Joomla website and the echo is shown in de position where the module is running in.

I do know the "inspect element" screen if you right click on a website, but I don't know all the functionality, I did use firefox because it has a nice debug tool, but firefox doesn't work anymore on my PC.

I usualy check my work in the browsers I installed (Chrome "standard", IE, Opera, Safari, Firefox (not anymore)).

Did a new install of FF but still crashes, I have to admit that I didn't google for a solution yet on the FF problem but that's off-topic here :-)

Strange thing is also that the code is copied from a previous module I made, so I think it has to be a syntax problem but I can't find it, it did work once, so I zipped the code again to reinstall it, so I would know all was working well.

And then it didn't react anymore, the module does everything until I wanna get my data back out of the JS file to the PHP file.

Did put alerts in the js so I did see the code running with all var filled as it should be but the echo's in the mail.php like:

echo"Name = ".$Name;

only showed "Name = " in the site position running the module.

One thing I did struggle with is that the mail.php is in the main dir and the JS file is in a folder "JS" so the call for mail.php in the js-file should be like

httpObjectMail.open("GET", "../mail.php?"

So the Js file will search the mail.php file a level higher, I did not show that in the code above, because I didn't really think that would be the problem

Ok i'm totaly new here, I play with some code when I have time for it... But I'm a little confused, it seems that the new ajax way is coded as

$.ajax

but that I don't understand yet,

Because i'm adjusting some existing code I have to go from one php file to another over js the old way...

So I have a php file where I echo a div with an input as type="text" and id="txtnameposition", in the same div I have a button who is calling the function closeandmail in the JS file.

In the JS file I get de input of the textbox as:

var jsName = document.getElementById("txtnameposition").value;

When I put an alert(jsName); inside the JS file I do get the input value, so passing values from the first php file to the js file is no problem....

BUT, to send this all to the next PHP file I used next code in the JS file:

function getHTTPObject(){var xhr = false;//set to false, so if it fails, do nothingif(window.XMLHttpRequest) {//detect to see if browser allows this methodvar xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();//set var the new request} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {//detect to see if browser allows this methodtry {var xhr = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");//try this method first} catch(e) {//if it fails move onto the nexttry {var xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");//try this method next} catch(e) {//if that also fails return false.xhr = false;}}}return xhr;//return the value of xhr}function closeandmail(){var jsName = document.getElementById("txtnameposition").value;httpObjectMail = getHTTPObject();if (httpObjectMail !== null) {httpObjectMail.open("GET", "mail.php?"+ "Name=" + jsName);httpObjectMail.send(null);}httpObjectMail = null;}

$Name = $_GET['Name']; echo 'Name = '.$Name;$MailMessage = 'The name = '.$Name;$to      = 'mail@mail.com';$subject = 'The name = '.$Name;$headers = 'From: mail@mail.com'.'rn'.'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();mail($to, $subject, $MailMessage, $headers);
