Running a base web framework from https://github.com/panique/huge/
The overarching problem I have is: html table needing live updates to account for database (mysql) changes.
Where I'm stuck: I have added to the index/index.php page, the following javascript code to the end of the file (note: header and footers loaded around this index/index.php page) in attempt to refresh the need for updating the table every few seconds in order reload the html table based off of the mysql database state. The index/tableChange module simply gathers the mysql data and returns the query.
<?php echo "
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
function loadlnk() {
document.getElementById('tableHolder').innerHTML =
\"<object type=\"text/html\" data=\"<?php echo config::get('URL'); ?>index/tableChange\"></object>\";
setTimeout(loadlnk, 3000);
}
loadlnk();
</script>";
?>
When I test the index/tableChange snippet out, I am able to load the php by itself in its own individual webpage (but for the purpose of this question, I'm needing to load that content of tableChange into the index/index page).
I also tried adding the $(document).ready(function() { around inside of the script, but this didn't seem to help accomplish anything visible to changing the table.
I looked at what I understood and could find, but I don't think it's a quote issue.
You might like to remove the inner PHP tags and the echo statement and try like this:
<?php
echo "
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
function loadlnk() {
document.getElementById('tableHolder').innerHTML =
\"<object type=\"text/html\" data=\"" . config::get('URL') ."index/tableChange\"></object>\";
setTimeout(loadlnk, 3000);
}
loadlnk();
</script>";
?>
I found that I was getting an error in the console, similar to the following:
Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://localhost/test/target.php does
not permit framing.
The solution, at least a quick one in this instance was to add a header before sending the output from /test/target.php ~ name header('X-Frame-Options: sameorigin'); then it worked just fine.

What is the easiest way to run Javascript code inside PHP, preferably without using external libraries? Specifically, I need the innerHTML of a div to change depending on some calculations performed using the user's form inputs that were captured earlier with $_POST in a separate form. How can I get the following JS code to run inside the following PHP code? (My most basic attempt was using echo command, but it's throwing up errors)
HTML:
<div id="output">
</div><!--#output -->
PHP (desired JS included):
if (count($valid_locations)<$num_of_locations){
echo '<script>const output = document.querySelector("#output");</script>;';
echo '<script>output.innerHTML = "<div class="alert-danger"> Trip unable to be created. Please adjust the budget/number of travelers/duration etc.</div>;";</script>';
}else{
createTrip($trips);
}
Right now, the IF condition is True and the code does run, but it echos ";" for some reason. I have verified that the condition is met and it runs by adding in a simple echo "this runs";, which did appear upon refresh. I just don't understand why it's outputting to the default echo space and the script isnt running to change the innerHTML of the output div. Is this even possible to do with PHP? If so, what's the best way? (doesn't need to be secure, won't be used publicly). I've heard of a few things such as ajax but it seems so complicated. Any explanations on stuff like that specific to this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Following up on the comments, you don't need JS to achieve what you want. You could just use PHP
<?php
$output = null;
if (!empty($_POST)) {
//...
//... do stuff
//...
if (count($valid_locations)<$num_of_locations){
$output = 'Error occured - bla bla bla';
}
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php if (isset($output)) {?>
<div id="output"><?= $output; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</body>
</html>
In my Cordova Android app, I have a need for some inline javascript for accessing local storage. In testing, I found that I cannot include in my PHP section, any output javascript that will work. Even adding a simple alert script to the beginning of the PHP file does not render in the browser, even though I can see that the code is there in Chrome Dev Tools, Elements. If I put the same script in the app's index.html file, it works.
Also, in the PHP generated section, I have dynamically generated onClick buttons that call a JS function that adds key-values to local storage. And they work fine. I can see the entries in Chrome Dev Tools.
I have a Content Security Policy meta in the index.html, and have tried many combinations, even though no CSP errors have ever shown up.
I've been reading and trying suggested fixes for days.
This works:
PHP page:
echo ' <button id=';
echo "'$row1[idNodes]'";
echo ' class="buttonClass" type="button" value=';
echo "'$row1[idNodes]'";
echo ' onclick="setStorage(this.value)">';
echo '<div id=img';
echo "$row1[idNodes]";
echo '>';
echo '<img src=img/cards.png height=20 width=20>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</button> ';
inside index.js:
function setStorage(val) {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function(){
localStorage.setItem(val,"1");
}, false);
var imgswap = "img" + val;
console.log(imgswap);
document.getElementById(imgswap).innerHTML = "<img src=img/shovel.png height=25 width=25>";
}
This renders if inside the index.html page, but not if inside the php page which, when rendered, is just a string inside the html page itself:
<script>
console.log('Test');
</script>
<?php ...
image of the browser output at:
untweeps.org/img/code.jpg
In the browser output image, you can see three scripts are there, but only the one with Test1 works. Test3 is dynamically generated, the other two are static coded.
Not getting any error messages in Dev Tools console. I want to be able to read local storage values with JS and swap the image as in the set function, but I can't get a simple script to run yet. What am I missing?
The architecture I use to load contents onto a common area on the web page is as below
I have a java script function within the form as shown below called javaScriptFunc which never gets invoked.
Is it possible to invoke a java script function within a form?
Please do let me know if more clarity is needed. I'll try to clarify. I'm stuck with this for a while now. I'd appreciate any help please
I think you are missing some PHP tags if I understand what you are trying to do correctly. Try this:
<form method="post" action="" id='somdId'>
<?php
require_once 'some_php_file.php';
if (isLoggedIn()) {
// Some PHP code here
?>
<script>
javaScriptFunc(<?php echo formatJson(someArgs); ?>);
</script>
<?php
}
?>
Not very clear what you want. You need to echo the script like this
echo ("<script type='text/javascript'>javaScriptFunc(" . formatJson(someArgs) . ");</script>");
provided you have already defined the function javaScriptFunc somewhere else in script.
For some reason, I the JS function doesn't seem to fire from within a form. I've worked around by re-writing the load logic to load the whole PHP page instead of a form. just a different way of doing things.
I have built a follow/unfollow Twitter like system using PHP. Now I would like to run the follow-unfollow PHP script in the background using AJAX/JQUERY to avoid refreshing the page when you follow/unfollow a user. To make things simpler, I will be here just using the example of “unfollow”. As you notice, I am running an iteration to output all the members in the database. I am outputting here (as well for simplicity) just the member’s name and an unfollow button to each one.
This is the code using php.
members.php
<?php foreach($members as $member){ ?>
<p class="member_name"><?php echo $member->name; ?></p>
<p class="follow_button">Unfollow</p>
<?php } ?>
unfollow.php
<?php
if($_GET['unfollow_id']){
$unfollow_id=$_GET['unfollow_id'];
$unfollow=Following::unfollow($id, $unfollow_id); //Function that will make the changes in the database.
// $id argument will be gotten from a $_SESSION.
}
I am trying to achieve the same result running unfollow.php in the background to avoid any refreshing. This is what I have come up with, as you might imagine it is not working properly. I am including the Jquery script inside the iteration which I think is the only way of obtaining the $member->id property to then assign it to the Jquery variable.
members.php THE NEW ONE THAT TRYS TO RUN THE SCRIPT WITH AJAX JQUERY
<?php foreach($members as $member){ ?>
<p class="member_name"><?php echo $member_name; ?></p>
<button type="button" class="unfollow_button" id="unfollow">Unfollow</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#unfollow").click(function(){
// Get value from input element on the page
var memberId = "<?php $member->id ?>";
// Send the input data to the server using get
$.get("unfollow.php", {unfollow_id: memberId} , function(data){
// Success
});
});
});
</script>
<?php } ?>
Can you provide me any help for this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Remember, in HTML, id attributes have to be unique.
Because you're rendering multiple members on a single page, you should not use an id selector in jQuery, but a class selector (e.g. button.unfollow). If you use #unfollow, you'll run into ID conflicts between each of the members' buttons.
First, render all of your members with unfollow buttons without ids. I'm adding the member_id in the markup using a data attribute called data-member_id.
<?php foreach($members as $member) { ?>
<p class="member_name"><?=$member_name?></p>
<button type="button" class="unfollow_button" data-member_id="<?=$member->id?>">Unfollow</button>
<?php } ?>
Then add a single click handler for all button.follow buttons, which extracts the member_id from the clicked button's data-member_id attribute and sends it to the server.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button.unfollow_button").on('click', function() {
// Get value from input element on the page
var memberId = $(this).attr('data-member_id');
// Send the input data to the server using get
$.get("unfollow.php", {unfollow_id: memberId} , function(data) {
// Success
});
});
});
</script>
On a side-note, you should probably look into building a RESTful service for this, to which you can post proper HTTP requests using http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/.
See here for an intro on REST in PHP I wrote a while back:
Create a RESTful API in PHP?
Hi I am creating a website with a login section this is working I am using HTML and PHP. What I am trying to do is one of my pages has a html button I want this to be disabled for certain users. at the moment this is what I have got.
this is the part that I use for the login details.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["username"];
$_SESSION["password"];
$_SESSION["access"];
?>
I have got if statments that I am currently using which are
if($_SESSION["access"] == "Administrator"){
echo $Admin;
}
what I am trying to do is call a javascript function within a PHP if statement what i have got so far is
<?php
if($_SESSION["access"] == "Consumer")
{
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
Disable();
</script>';
}
if($_SESSION["access"] == "Administrator")
{
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
Enable();
</script>';
}
?>
the javascript functions that i am trying to call are
<script type="text/javascript">
function Enable() {
SubmitButton.disabled = false;
}
function Disable() {
SubmitButton.disabled = true;
}
</script>
I have also tryed
if($_SESSION["access"] == "Consumer")
{
echo "<script> Disable(); </script>";
}
Im just wondering if I have typed something in wrong or if I have forgotten to put something in.
any help would be much appreciated.
Looking at your code you have couple of issues:
Mixing your PHP logic and pure HTML is (usually) not a good idea.
Instead I would suggest you move your access checking logic fully on the server side and display the button accordingly (disabled or enabled) based on the user's access.
Example:
<?php if($_SESSION['access']): // Only show the button for users with access ?>
<button type="submit" value="Submit" <?php echo ($_SESSION['access'] != 'Administrator' ? 'disabled' : ''); // Button disabled for everyone but administrators ?> />
<?php endif; ?>
And let me point out the obvious (as mentioned by the other answers), that's not 100% bulletproof. The user can still manually submit the button even if he is not an administrator by editing the page's HTML on the fly. That's just a UI fix. The real check should be done on the server side once the button is submitted (e.g. is the user logged in, does he have a cookie on his computer that identifies him as an administrator, does he have a session cookie set, etc).
Calling JS in random places, e.g. in the header can have unexpected consequences.
You better wait for the page to be loaded fully before calling any JS functions. You can do that via jQuery easily, but make sure you include the jQuery library before that in your header like so.
Afterwards you can call any JS after the page is loaded by placing them within the following block:
$(function(){
// Place your JS calls here, e.g. call to Enable()
});
String concatenation in PHP is done with a dot . and strings can be multiline
This code which you used is just plain wrong.
echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
, 'Enable();'
, '</script>';
You should use something like:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">'
.'Enable();'
. '</script>';
or better:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
Enable();
</script>';
PHP doesn't use , sign for joining. Use ..
But otherwise it should work, except that you should define SubmitButton in advance of using it.
<?php
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
// if the id of your element is "submitButton"
echo "var submitButton = document.getElementById('submitButton');";
echo " function disable(){ submitButton.disabled=true; }";
echo "</script>";
?>
After that you can use it as you did..
<script type='text/javascript'>
disable();
</script>
Just be advised that denying access to some elements/functionality on your webpage with JavaScript alone is not a good practice - JavaScript is executed locally on the user's computer and therefore the user can modify it to gain an advantage.
Well, the problem may be that you're trying to call the javascript function before the HTML is ready (or finally rendered), so the browser, when executes the function doesn't find the button.
You could solve this placing your javascript code at the end of your page, or using jQuery and doing:
$(document).ready(function() {
<%php if ($_SESSION['access'] == 'xxxxx') {%>
Enable();
<%php } else { %>
Disable();
<%php } %>
});
Anyway, ALWAYS check user permissions on the server side, because someone could enable the button using Firebug or something else...
