Im working in a puppeteer js scrapping project that is running in Windows terminal "node file.js". I get an array as my scrapping result, but now I need to use it in php. I need to make a file for php to read or to send the data directly to my php file.

Any ideas?

I have tried AJAX but I get this: ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined

Also I have tried to create the file in my js project using:

new File([provincias], "xScrap.json", { type: "application/json" });

and getting this result: ReferenceError: File is not defined

For why there is an error of ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest it is for web browsers, and node js has another way of creating HTTP requests: XMLHttpRequest module not defined/found

To send or request data to your PHP file or server, you need to create HTTP requests. I personally suggest using Axios, but there are a lot of alternatives here: How is an HTTP POST request made in node.js?

As for your creation of file error, I don't know why it isn't working, but I'll suggest using the fs module to create/read/update/delete files in node js: https://blog.risingstack.com/fs-module-in-node-js/
