AJAX load PHP file and passing data and function?

I'm trying to pull in a PHP file via ajax and having a few issues.

This is my html/js:

<script>
function viewdata(){
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "getinfo.php",
        dataType: "html",
        success: function(data){
            $('.target').html(data);
        }
        error: function(data){
        }
    }).done(function(data){

    });
}

</script>

<div class="target"></div>

My issue is a 500 error and I've worked out it's not using a function I've delcared earlier on the page or passing a variable called "$urls" into the included file. The ajax call is in a foreach loop so the $urls is different each time.

My function (not used in the loop, it's declared before the loop)

function isSiteAvailible($urls){
    // some php code
}

How do I get the function and the variable into the "getinfo.php" file?

Thanks for your help!

If you want to get data into the file you're calling, the best way is with query parameters. Try something like...

function viewdata(){
  $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "getinfo.php?urls="+urls,
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(data){
        $('.target').html(data);
    }
    error: function(data){
    }
  }).done(function(data){
});
}

You can that access the parameter inside "getinfo.php" like this...

$urls = $_GET["urls"];

Obviously you should have some URL encoding in there, and validation on the server side to avoid security issues, but hopefully that helps get you started.
