No, not an issue with the PHP - I was responding to "AJAX not being cross site is annoying"
MaxMouse
Really? i thought that would only be important if the user had some kind of control over where the XML came from, if you hard code it (As in a PHP file) wouldn't that eliminate XSS attacks?
Domuk
Yes, but very, very necessary. AJAX requests run in the context of the browser, there'd be no security if it was cross-domain .
MaxMouse
AJAX not being cross site is annoying, all other scripts can be used in that way, having to resort to PHP to patch it is a shame.
