A jQuery question

[damiantaylor]

I've read the jscript tutorial as you suggested Kobra but it doesn't really help with my problem.
I have my javascript inserted in the right place and it's running correctly.
What I would like to do is call one of the Zen Cart php functions from my php script that is located in htdocs/AJAX_servers

For some reason I can't call any Zen Cart functions from my php script. I'm guessing it's because it's located outside of the includes folder.

A better way to solve my problem would be to be able to call a php script that resides below the includes folder.
Ive tried the following jQuery:

jQuery.post("AJAX_ask_question_server.php"........
This works if I have my AJAX_ask_question_server.php located in my root.

If I try:
jQuery.post("AJAX_servers/AJAX_ask_question_server.php".....
This works too.

If I try:
jQuery.post("includes/AJAX_ask_question_server.php".....
This fails even though I have uploaded my AJAX_ask_question_server.php script in to the includes folder.

Do you know how I can call a php script that resides inside the includes folder?

Ok, I've found out why I can't access a php script from my jQuery javascript if it is insdide the includes folder....it's the .htaccess file that sits inside the includes folder.
The .htaccess file is as follows:

# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
#  AllowOverride Limit
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)
#
# This does not affect PHP include/require functions
#
# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work

<Files *.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>

So, as I'm useless on htaccess as well as jQuery, can anybody tell me a way I can stop this htaccess blocking jQuery requests for php scripts?
