PHP define not working with jquery load

[charles07]

I have a main file index.php into which iam loading myinnerpage.php . I have defined a variable inside index.php & checks it on myinnerpage.php , but when i load innerpage it shows restricted access, any idea why? following is my code.

index.php

<?php
    define( '_JEXEC', true ); 
?>
<div class="mypage">
</div>
<ul>
    <li><a href="#" onclick="loadpages('myiinerpage.php')">about page</a></li>   
</ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var $jq = jQuery.noConflict();
    function loadpages(page)
    {
        $jq('.mypage').load('myfolder/'+page);
    }
    
</script>

and now in the myiinerpage.php which is in the folder myfolder i have the following code.

<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>

<div>
my page elements
</div>

but when i click on the link it shows restricted access. I have loaded jquery too, any idea y this is happening?

that’s because constants are only valid in the current script. what you do is an AJAX request for which the constant is long gone. you would need to use sessions to accomplish that.

Dear Dormilich

could you please help me use sessions in this particular situation

guys finally i found a solution, hope this is right, please contribute your ideas

In my main index.php i changed function to this

function loadpages(page)
    {
        var myvalue = "myvalue ";
        $jq('.mypage').load('myfolder/'+page,myvalue+"="+myvalue);
    }

and in the myiinerpage.php i added a piece of code like this

if($_GET['myvalue '] == '' || $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == '')die("Access denied");

i used $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] just incase someone tries to access the page by directly typing the get value in url
