Using ajax to call php

Question

I'm trying to call a php function to do some SQL stuff.

I've read on stack that it's possible, but only if I use ajax. So I've tried.

Here is the ajax :

$.ajax({ url: './put_in_table.php',
    type: 'get',
    success: function(output) {
        console.log(output);
    }
});

Unfortunately, It does nothing, and the output returned by the request is containing the PHP source code.

Php code is just a very simple test :

<?php
    echo "lol";
?>

Does anybody have an idea why the php is not executed? (It only contains an echo). Thanks in advance.

If it's returning the PHP source code: do you even have a set up PHP server that's serving the file? — Christoph

So what happens when you open the url directly in the browser? This seems unrelated to ajax... — jeroen

If your php code is not parsed but returned, install php on your server

I don't know if does matter, but I'm devlopping on a local server using xampp, and there is a PHP server running

sorry for asking, what URL are you browsing to? something like 127.0.0.1/put_in_table.php or localhost/put_in_table.php

I'm using localhost

@souki Can you confirm your put_in_table.php works? In other words: do you see lol echoed on the screen? What happens if you change the AJAX type from GET to POST?

Well, I don't see "lol" echoed on the screen, because the php code is not executed, but it should work I guess, because it contains nothing more than the "echo", which is correct I suppose. It never worked, I've just tried it yesterday
