cannot post /file.php with ajax request

Question

My request returns a 404 Not Found when I send an AJAX POST request. I cannot POST /accountf.php. This is my code:

$.ajax({
  url: 'accountf.php',
  data: {
    "getclient": true
  },
  type: 'post',
  success: function(output) {
    alert(output);
  },
  error: function(xhr) {
    alert("An error occured: " + xhr.status + " " + xhr.statusText);
  }
});

However when I use get it returns the whole PHP file in response.

Answer 1

i just change the request path to my xammp htdocs folder and paste my php files there now its working
as

$.post('http://localhost/bizmanager/backend/accountf.php',
        { "getclient": true },
        function(data,status){
            alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status);
        });

thank you guys
