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.

Hardware: Iiyama Monitor Heaven
by: dimport - 2003-06-21 07:19:46
The idea that technology improves all the time is quite remarkable, but when it jumps more than one hurdle, it is simply astonishing. Imagine the disbelief that shuttled through me as I read Iiyama had developed a brand new 22.2 inch TFT monitor.
I continued to read this mythological joke expecting to find an answer to this hoax, but found yet more evidence with a pretty picture to prove me wrong!
