jQuery.ajax替换PHP代码

I'm trying to update a REST search result with ajax to not reload a new page.

right now search result is shown within:

<div id="searchtable"><?php include 'hotels/hotelList.php';?></div>

On click on button I want to reload this div element so it includes a new php file.

Button:

<button onclick="myFunction()">LOAD</button><br /><br />

jQuery

<script>
function myFunction() {
  $.get( "/hotels/hotelSortBy.php" );
  $('#searchtable').replaceWith('<?php include 'hotels/hotelSortBy.php';?  >');
 }
</script>

I'm not able to replace the div element "searchable" - with replaceWith - Am I doing this right ?

There's no need for inline PHP if you're using AJAX. Try using jQuery's .load AJAX method:

function myFunction() {
  $('#searchtable').load('/hotels/hotelSortBy.php');
}

Note that this is slightly different than .replaceWith -- using .load will preserve #searchtable and put the new content inside of it, rather than replacing it.

Try using .html instead of replaceWith.

So it would look like

function myFunction(){
$('#searchtable').html('<? php include 'hotels/hotelSortBy.php'; ?>');
}

You're misunderstanding a key element here. Your javascript is running on the client side, while the php runs on the server side (at least usually). Javascript doesn't interpret php and php doesn't interpret javascript either (except json). What you probably want to do is an ajax request to call the url that serve this php file, so that your webserver interpret php and return a response. Check http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/ probably?
