Send Javascript ajax request to php include

[djdavedawson]

I have a javascript that is on every page. I want to load some variables to an ajax.php script i have.

If I have ajax.php in the site root and use the following code in my js, everything is fine.

$('#div').load('ajax.php', {'id': obj, 'action': action});

However, I would like for the ajax.php file to be in my jscript folder.

So when I try the following, I get a 403 forbidden in my console.

$('#div').load('includes/templates/classic/jscript/ajax.php', {'id': obj, 'action': action});

Is there something I need to do to make this work?

Thanks in Advance

I would like for the ajax.php file to be in my jscript folder.

Why?

For security reasons, .php files under the /includes/ folder are blocked from having access from browsers.

Why?

I was concerned about having ajax.php in the root and at the same time wanted to keep all the files for this project together.

With ajax.php in the root, it can be accessed directly.

With ajax.php in the root, it can be accessed directly.

That's the whole idea.
Ajax connects directly from the browser, just like if you typed it into the URL field and visited it directly like a webpage. Thus it needs to be accessible directly.
