Ajax not working while calling php

Question

Hi friends,

Requirements :

1. I have created a html page - to save a group of fields into a separate file

2. Through ajax function(AjaxLoad), i have send some value into file.php and save it.

3. I can able to reach the file.php, but its not creating the file.
   code is follows

javascript

function AjaxLoad(LstrXML){
    var xmlhttp;
    xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
    if (xmlhttp==null)
    {
     alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
     return;
    }
    var url="file.php?contentd="+LstrXML;
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
    xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
    xmlhttp.send(null);
    function stateChanged()
    {
     if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
     {
      alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
     }
    }
    function GetXmlHttpObject()
    {
     if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
     {
      return new XMLHttpRequest();
     }
     if (window.ActiveXObject)
     {
      return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
     }
     return null;
    }
}

php

$fh = fopen("XML/testFile.xml", 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "<item labelText ='Age' txtBoxSize='20' optionType='*'></item><item labelText ='Gender' txtBoxSize='20' optionType='*'>";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

But its working in all browser's other than IE..What to do for compatibility?
What's the problem in it? Please guide me on this.

Thanks,

Try changing your 4th line to this would be a good idea:

 var url="file.php?contentd="+ escape(LstrXML)

Also go to your php page in a web browser manually and see if it is outputting valid XML with all tags closed and nested properly.
