Setting up a local proxy to access imdb

Question

you enter the title
the title is append to a url, which calls your local php file
the local php file accepts the title and attaches it the API url you want to call
the request is made and the content is returned
returned content is then accepted by js
check console.log for exact data structure
to main keys "title_popular" and "title_exact", that's why there are two tables
watch out for "description" and "title_description", both seem to be the same (API BUG?), so they are printed twice!
i don't have the time to structure the table fully
maybe you should ask someone, how to print the multilevel object more elegant

PHP

imdb-fetcher.php

 <?php
 $title = $_GET['title']; // <- you need to secure this
 echo file_get_contents(
    'http://www.imdb.com/xml/find?json=1&nr=1&tt=on&q=' . $title
 );

HTML

        $("#SampleSearchButton").click(function() {
            getImdbInfo($("#title").val());
        })
    });

    // The function below takes the entered title and searchs imdb for a match then it displays as followed

    function getImdbInfo(title) {
         $.ajax({
          type: 'GET',
          url: "imdb-fetcher.php?title=" + title, // <-- request to PHP data fetcher
          dataType: "json",
          success: function(data) {
                // you get an object for iteration, see console for keys
                console.log(data);

                // table for title_popular
                var str = '<table>';
                str += "<thead><th>Index</th><th>id</th><th>title</th><th>title_desc</th><th>year</th><th>description</th></thead>";

                $.each(data.title_popular, function(index, element) {

                str += '</table>';

          error: function (request, status, error) { alert(status + " - " + error); }
        });
    }
