use php file that's not in webroot from javascript / ajax - El Forum - 08-10-2012

I'm using an ajax function that requires a php file and I'd like to put the php file out of the webroot for security reasons. How can I refer to this php file in this function when this php file is outside the webroot?
Code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost/clb/scripts/secondary.php",
async: false,
data: {id : id , secondary_id : secondary_id },
success: function(msg)
{
} });use php file that's not in webroot from javascript / ajax - El Forum - 08-10-2012

It's simple: You can't.
Though this answer sounds harsh, but without any further fixes it's not possible. Everything that you want to access via an URL/URI needs to be at the same level or below webroot level. The only possibility would be creating an alias (htaccess or apache2-conf) that points to another directory. However, files will then be directly accessible via the alias.
Therefore: For AJAX every file needs to be accessible via an URL/URI
