By default, JavaScript can be used to load, query, or interact with data on the same domain.
While there are some JS-based hacks for getting around this limitation, these usually don't work on all browsers and cause more problems then they solve.
"Simple PHP Proxy" is a PHP-based solution for JavaScript's problem, taking all queries for external domains and making them from a PHP server instead.
This allows users to fetch remote data in an organized PHP array, which can be easily be converted to JSON and fed back to the client's page JS scripts.
This PHP proxy solution is not only cross-browser supported, but also safer and much more versatile, allowing developers to retrieve data in an organized fashion, even from sites with no JSONP support.
What is new in this release:
- Defaults to JSON mode, which can now be changed to native mode by specifying ?mode=native. Native and JSONP modes are disabled by default, because of possible XSS issues, but are configurable in the PHP script along with a url validation regex.
Requirements:
- JavaScript enabled on client side
- Web server
