   in my wordpress page like this :
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode('[businessdirectory]');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * it run very well!
    now i want to call it from a php page, **map.php** :
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode('[businessdirectory]');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * the **map.php** file is loaded when clicking on an input button on my wordpress
   page like this :
 *     ```
       <script type="javascript">
       function reload()
       {
       var xhr_object = new XMLHttpRequest();
       xhr_object = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
       xhr_object.open("GET", "http://localhost/test/map.php", false);
       xhr_object.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8");
       xhr_object.send(null);
       document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = xhr_object.responseText;
       }
       </script>
       <form method="post" action="javascript:reload()" >
       <input type="submit" name="btok" id="btok" value="OK" >
       </form>
       <div id='result'></div>
