ajax call with cronjob

Question

I have a php file(index.php) which calls another file(ajax.php), which consists of javascript and ajax calls.

index.php, $mid is a variable fetched from database:

<?php
$url = "http://localhost/parser/ajax.php?m=$mid";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_exec($ch);

ajax.php :

<?php
$mid = $_GET["mid"];

var r = {
    feedLife: 60,
    feedParams: {
      competition: '129',
      season: SEASON,
      sport: SPORT,
      match: <?php echo $mid ?>,
    }
    };

$.ajax({
    url: 'upload_json.php?m=<?php echo $mid ?>',
    dataType: 'json',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify(a),
    processData: false,
    success: function(){

    },
    error: function( jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown ){
        console.log( errorThrown );
    }
});

I want to run a cron, but as console can not parse javascript, I have no idea how to achieve automation? Any ideas? Maybe phantomJS can do a trick?

thanks in advance

do you have an idea of serverside and clientside execution and that JavaScript is executed clientside while php runs on the server? — messerbill, May 30 '16 at 13:08

You can mimic the AJAX request with cURL. If you don't want to go through many cURL calls, you should consider PhantomJS. You know what to do, so get started — Adam Azad, May 30 '16 at 13:16
Can you give us the end goal of the process. It looks like you are jumping through a bunch of hoops just to pass a variable to upload_json.php. Im sure there is a reason, its just not clear what that reason is. — MerlinTheMagic, Jun 11 '16 at 15:31

You have error, you need close php tag after variable $mid. Example

<?php
$mid = $_GET["mid"];

?>

concatenate you're all javascript code in string, and wrap in tag and use echo

    <?php
$mid = $_GET["mid"];

$script = "<script> var r = {
    feedLife: 60,
    feedParams: {
      competition: '129',
      season: SEASON,
      sport: SPORT,
      match: '".$mid."',
    }
    };

$.ajax({
    url: 'upload_json.php?m=".$mid."',
    dataType: 'json',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify(a),
    processData: false,
    success: function(){

    },
    error: function( jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown ){
        console.log( errorThrown );
    }
});</script>";

echo $script;
