Datagrid from JavaScript from PHP

Avatar

Level 1
Hi Everyone,



Let me start by saying that this application worked until our
server crashed, so I do believe that there is some kind of setting
within the server that is preventing this from working once again,
but our server is set to all default values for now.



I basically have a datagrid that is populated via the
FABridge component which receives an array from JavaScript, which
receives the info from a PHP script, which retrieves a result set
from MySQL.



Once more, this worked prior to the server crashing three
Sundays ago. For now, I run the PHP file which generates the string
that I want to send to JavaScript, which then sends it to the
datagrid. I copy & paste the string:

[code]

mySeFunc([{SHOWS: "some_show ", GENDER: "Male", AGE: "21",
FIRST_NAME: "Joe", LAST_NAME: "Somebody", EMAIL_ADDRESS:
"something@yahoo.com", PHONE_NUMBER: "5555555555", CITY:
"Some_city", STATE: "Some_state", ZIP: "11111", PICTURE:
"some_pic.jpg"}]);

[/code]



If I take this string, then copy & paste it in place of a
variable -- "response":

[code]

function handleResponsePost()

{

if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)

{

var response = http.responseText;

if(response)

{

window.onload = eval(response);



}

}

}



As such:

function handleResponsePost()

{

if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)

{

var response = http.responseText;

if(response)

{

window.onload = eval(mySeFunc([{SHOWS: "some_show ", GENDER:
"Male", AGE: "21", FIRST_NAME: "Joe", LAST_NAME: "Somebody",
EMAIL_ADDRESS: "something@yahoo.com", PHONE_NUMBER: "5555555555",
CITY: "Some_city", STATE: "Some_state", ZIP: "11111", PICTURE:
"some_pic.jpg"}]);



}

}

}

[/code]



Then the datagrid populates just fine. And it used to receive
these Strings from an echo coming from my PHP file which retrieved
a resultset from MySQL before the server crashed. As follows:



[code]

echo "mySeFunc([".$myComboVar2."]);";

[/code]



Now if I copy & paste the same String, that I receive
from the PHP file, then I will see a JavaScript error from the
console:

[code]

echo "mySeFunc([{SHOWS: "some_show ", GENDER: "Male", AGE:
"21", FIRST_NAME: "Joe", LAST_NAME: "Somebody", EMAIL_ADDRESS:
"something@yahoo.com", PHONE_NUMBER: "5555555555", CITY:
"Some_city", STATE: "Some_state", ZIP: "11111", PICTURE:
"some_pic.jpg"}]);";

[/code]



The JavaScript code which sends the code to the Flex app:

[code]

function mySeFunc(someArrayComing)

{

var flexApp = FABridge.fab.root();

flexApp.myActionScriptFromJavascript(someArrayComing);

}

[/code]



The code within Flex which receives the String:

[code]

public function
myActionScriptFromJavascript(someArrayComing:Array):void

{

dataGrid.dataProvider = someArrayComing;

dataGrid.validateNow();

}

[/code]



What configuration in the server could cause the same String
literal to work directly from Javascript and not to work if it's
passed from PHP? I know that it cannot be the length of the String
literal because, I have tried pasting just ONE record and it still
gives me the same error:

[code]

Error: missing } in XML expression

Source File:
http://www.somedomain.com/someJSscript.js
Line 56

mySeFunc([{SHOWS: "some_show ", GENDER: "Male", AGE: "21",
FIRST_NAME: "Joe", LAST_NAME: "Somebody", EMAIL_ADDRESS:
"something@yahoo.com", PHONE_NUMBER: "5555555555", CITY:
"Some_city", STATE: "Some_state", ZIP: "11111", PICTURE:
"some_pic.jpg"}])

[/code]



Which the arrow pointing in the JavaScript Console to the
place where the error lies, is after the ":" following SHOWS:



Once more, all of this worked perfectly for months. We have a
database of over 23,000 records. For now, each morning I run the
PHP script, copy & paste the result set in place of the
variable "response" and the datagrid loads within 20 seconds on
Macs and 2 minutes on PCs.



For obvious reasons, I'd rather not be copy & pasting
every morning as the db grows daily.



Thanks in advance :-)
