I have two PHP scripts to be called simultaneously:
Your problem is as simple as you can imagine. You just don't realize it maybe for a bit lack of knowledge of HTML. So Your code is ok and everything is working as you want but the script that should run at the same time isn't, what is the problem?
<body onload="callScripts();">
This up here is your problem. The onload
call only takes place when everything inside the body
tag is completely loaded. So, as your iframe
is inside the body
the html interpreter load everything (including the iframe and its source), then call your callScripts
function.
To solve your problem I recommend you to create your iframe
inside your script. Would be something as this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
<!-- You should always define your script in the head tag. best pratice
defined in W3C -->
<script type="text/javascript">
callScripts = function (){
//write your Iframe Here
document.getElementById("callDownload").innerHTML = '<iframe src="PHP/fileDownload.php"></iframe>';
callScripts_refresh();
}
// call both PHP scripts(download and monitoring) in desired order
callScripts_refresh = function()
{
// call the monitoring PHP script multiple times in 2 second intervals
window.setTimeout(function(){startDownloadMonitoring()}, 1000);
window.setTimeout(function(){startDownloadMonitoring()}, 3000);
window.setTimeout(function(){startDownloadMonitoring()}, 5000);
window.setTimeout(function(){startDownloadMonitoring()}, 7000);
window.setTimeout(function(){startDownloadMonitoring()}, 9000);
};
// call monitoring PHP script via AJAX
function startDownloadMonitoring()
{
console.log("Calling startDownloadMonitoring()...");
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
console.log("Response Received: " + xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", "PHP/fileDownloadStatus.php", true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="callScripts();">
<div id="callDownload"></div>
</body>
</html>
Let me know if it work after that
