Is it possible to upload data to the site using JS without PHP?

Question

PHP

There is a button on the page. When clicked, an additional panel is shown and here I would like to load the text that lies in the file on the server.
Is it possible to somehow read a text file (on the server) using JS and display its contents?
Or what is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

It is possible, through AJAX. If you don't know what it is, let's talk

Answer 2

Basically like this:

<div id="my-text"></div>
<button type="button" id="my-button">My button</button>

$(function(){
  $('#my-button').on('click', function(){
    $('#my-text').load('http://my-server.dot/my-text-file.txt');
  });
});

Answer 3

jQuery.ajaxSetup({cache:false});
jQuery.getJSON(link, function(data) {})

Answer 4

You can do it the old fashioned way through JSONP, that is, you run a js script with parameters on another site that runs the script on yours. You can get a list of cities and calculate the delivery. Here is an example of such a js code novye-podarki.ru/heeg.html#%24%3A%2Fboot%2Fmodul_d... to test it, place an order and choose delivery to another city. But if possible, it is better to use CORS https://learn.javascript.ru/xhr-crossdomain
