Okay so, I have made a cPanel like file manager. The main difference is I have all the source code for it and I can manipulate it at my leasure. My issues is my save function for my text editor. I am using ACE-editor. I have no problem getting the value of the editor but submitting it via, aJax request has been hell for me. The save function is the following.
if(isset($_POST['text']) && isset($_POST['location'])){
$location = $_POST['location']; //this also contains the file name
$contents = fopen($location, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$submitedData = $_POST['text']; // this contains the editor's text
fwrite($contents, $submitedData);
fclose($contents);
}
The aJax request is the following
$.ajax({
url: "edit.php",
type: 'POST',
data: {
'text': e.getValue(),
'location':$('#saveValue').val()
},
success: function () {
errorReport("File has been saved!");
},
error: function (){
errorReport("Failed to save file");
}
});
Some need to know things
<div id="e"></div><input type='text' id="saveValue" value="<?= $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$_GET['dir'];?>">var e = ace.editor("e");$_POST['test'] = e.getValue();$_POST['location'] = ('#saveValue').val();$_GET['dir'] is the current directory you're in e.g. /path/to/files/index.php/but it does not include the path before the like /public_html so /home/user/www/public_html is hidden
So, now that you know the basics of how it works. when I do my ajax call on Ace's keyboard shortcut Alt + S It submits my ajax request. My issue is when it submits it the request times out. Like it doesn't know where to submit it and it is frustrating me because I am getting NO error back any where. These functions have worked in the past but now they are timing out and failing to save ANYTHING. I am hoping that I made a mistake in my code somewhere.
So my question is: Why would ajax appear to timeout on a request like I seem to be getting, and how can I fix this problem? ( I submitted the page to try to see how long I would have to wait for it to get a response it took >15 minutes to anything back from the page, and that was a time out error.)
