Simple PHP Proxy is a small PHP script that allows your JavaScript to access HTML, XML or JSON data in remote web pages. It overcomes the cross-domain security limitations, even if data is not available in JSONP format.

By using Simple PHP Proxy, your server can act as an intermediary between your JavaScript and the remote data, removing any cross-domain issued from the equation. It just needs to take a request, forward it to a remote server, and return the results. You can use any JavaScript library with it or code your XMLHttpRequest objects by hand.
Features
- Requested URLs can be white-listed and validated against a regex
- Optionally forward client cookies / SID to the remote server
- Optionally forward configurable User Agent to the remote server
- Requests can use either GET or POST request methods
- Remote data can be delivered as-is with all remote headers intact (disabled by default to limit XSS vulnerabilities)
- Remote data can be wrapped in a JSON/P structure that includes status codes and remote headers (JSONP disabled by default to limit abuse)
- If using JSON/P and remote data is valid JSON, it will be merged into the resulting data object
Developed by Ben Alman; Simple PHP Proxy is available for download under GPL and MIT License. You can find further information, demo & download on Simple PHP Proxy Website.
