This is magic.js file
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#submit_button").click(function()
{
var game = $("#game-group:selected").val();
var question = $("#question").val();
var option = $("#option[]").val();
var choice = $("#choice").val();
if (game == '' || question == '' || option == '' || choice == '')
{
alert("Insertion Failed Some Fields are Blank....!!");
}
else
{
// Returns successful data submission message when the entered information is stored in database.
$.post("process.php", {
game1: game,
question1: question,
option1: option,
choice1: choice
},
function(data)
{
alert(data);
$('#form')[0].reset(); // To reset form fields
});
}
});
});
And this is process.php file
<?php
//Include configuration file
include('includes/config.php');
//Define variables
$game2=$_POST['game'];
$question2=$_POST['question'];
$option2=$_POST['option'];
$choice2=$_POST['choice'];
//Generate random number
$rand_value=rand();
//Create temporary folder
mkdir($rand_value);
//Copy page of Ask Poll
copy('page.php', $rand_value . '/page.php');
rename($rand_value . '/page.php', $rand_value . '/index.php');
//Add data into database
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password) or die ("Errore di connessione!");
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ("Impossibile selezionare database!");
$sql1="CREATE TABLE `" . $rand_value . "` (Question VARCHAR(200), Options VARCHAR(200), Choice INT(11))";
mysql_query($sql1) or die ("Impossibile eseguire la query!");
//Count number of Options available
$count=count($option);
for ($i=0; $i<($count-1); $i++)
{
${$sql . $i}="INSERT INTO `" . $rand_value . "` (Question, Options, Choice) VALUES ('$question2', '$option2[$i]', '$choice2')";
mysql_query(${$sql . $i});
}
?>
The problem is that the AJAX function doesn't pass data to process.php in fact i don't see any folder into my server or data saved into the database
change
var option = $("#option[]").val();
to
var option = $("#option").val();
you have assign [] operater in id selecter
Your javascript property names dont match your php array keys:
{
game1: game,
question1: question,
option1: option,
choice1: choice
}
$game2=$_POST['game'];
$question2=$_POST['question'];
$option2=$_POST['option'];
$choice2=$_POST['choice'];
change one or the other, eg:
{
game: game,
question: question,
option: option,
choice: choice
}
The only issue I see is when calling the POST vars in your php you need to use the key names from your object. Not the variable names.
//Define variables
$game2=$_POST['game1'];
$question2=$_POST['question1'];
$option2=$_POST['option1'];
$choice2=$_POST['choice1'];
Hope this helps!

I'm new to Javascript and in this example, basically I have created a Shipping Method Page. In the "ADD Delivery Address" link, on clicking there is a address form which needs to be filled out and after pressing the ADD NEW button, all the address form data should appear in the select menu option like in the picture below. But I'm unable to do so. Can someone please enlighten me on his. It would be a immense help to me. Thank you
This is line bug, id newopt don't exist in html.
var newopt = $('#newopt').val();
I tried a downloaded code for auto-suggest search box but it didn't work. It does not display anything from my database. I'm still new in this programming language especially in using AJAX and JavaScript.
Here's my code:
dbcon2.php
<?php
$con2['host'] = 'localhost';
$con2['user'] = 'root';
$con2['pass'] = 'thirteen';
$con2['db'] = 'pis';
$sel2 = mysql_connect($con2['host'], $con2['user'], $con2['pass']);
mysql_select_db($con2['db'], $sel2);
mysql_set_charset("utf-8");
$datab2 = $con2['db'];?>

You are passing the wrong data format in the ajax call.
It should be like this:
data: { search: searchid }
try this and it should work i believe.
Refer this: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

JS Code

var question = $("#question").val();
var option = $("#option").val();
$.post("submit.php", { game: game, question: question, option: option },
}
submit.php Code
<?php
//Include configuration file

//Define variables
$question=$_POST['question'];
$game=$_POST['game'];
$option=$_POST['option'];
$choice=$_POST['choice'];
//Generate random number

${$sql . $i}="INSERT INTO `" . $rand_value . "` (Question, Options, Choice) VALUES ('$question', '$option[$i]', '$choice')";
mysql_query(${$sql . $i});
}
?>
All works perfectly but the only problem is that when i click Create Poll button, the browser redirect me to submit.php blank page
UPDATE
This code doesn't work
function SubmitForm(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var game = $("#game").val();
var question = $("#question").val();
var option = $("#option").val();
$.post("submit.php", { game: game, question: question, option: option }
return false;
}
Can you write me an AJAX function as the last comment says?
place return false; at the end of your SubmitForm function and loose the comma at the end of the last sentence
function SubmitForm(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var game = $("#game").val();
var question = $("#question").val();
var option = $("#option").val();
$.post("submit.php", { game: game, question: question, option: option }
return false;
}
Either place return false; at the end of the function SubmitForm or change onclick="SubmitForm();" to onclick="SubmitForm(); return false;"
You can just add onsubmit="return false;" to your form:
<form onsubmit="return false;">
*****
****
</form>
use Ajax function if you want that the page doesn't refresh on click the "Create Poll" button.
It loads the part of the page without refresh the whole page.
I want to do is to keep the email and password in the modal dialog login page if I click the checkbox button and if I refresh the same page and click the modal dialog again the email and password should be still there.
My problem is if I sign in in my login modal dialoge box and checked the keep me logged checkbox and click the button and refreshed the page again the email and password I've typed are gone it wasn't there anymore.
Does anyone here know how to keep what I typed in the email and password in my modal dialog box if I checked the checkbox keep me logged in button?
Whole html code:
<?php
session_start();
$unm=isset($_SESSION['email'])?$_SESSION['email']:'default_username';
$pwd=isset($_SESSION['password'])?$_SESSION['password']:'default_password';
?>

You set variables in server side when user clicks check button.Probably by using AJAX.
And then use them in your page when you display the page.
Here is jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#sumbit').on('click', function(){
window.location.replace("profile.php");
$('.modal').modal('hide');
});
$('[name="chkbox"]').on('click', function(){
if(!$(this).attr('checked'))return;
$.post( "/savestate.php", { email: $('[name="email"]').val(), password: $('[name="password"]').val() }).done(function( data ) {
// alert( "Data Loaded: " + data );
});
});
});
Here is savestate.php
session_start();
$_SESSION['email']=$_POST['email'];
$_SESSION['password']=$_POST['password'];
You can reuse in your php page as
$unm=isset($_SESSION['email'])?$_SESSION['email']:'default_username';
$pwd=isset($_SESSION['password'])?$_SESSION['password']:'default_password';
Why don't use instead jQuery's plugin for cookies?
http://plugins.jquery.com/cookie/
In general terms, it is a really bad practice to store the password in the cookie but if you wan't to do it, I'm no one to tell you not to do it.
Another better solution will be store the information in the session of PHP. Here is a good tutorial of this. Although a still better solution will be store the session in database, so your app is stateless.
Using jQuery's plugin will be as easy as:
jQuery(function () {
$("#email").val($.cookie("unm"));
$("#password").val($.cookie("pwd"));
});
In this way, if there is something in the cookie, the value will be that, otherwise, will be blank. Or you can do
$("#email").val($.cookie("unm") || "Default value for usermane");
To set a default value if the return of that cookie is null (or empty).
You can also use local storage (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp) but I recommend using a server side option.
I have a form which i validate via php. this is how i do it:(example is for one 1 field)
elseif (ctype_alpha($firstname) != true)
{
$err_alpha_firstname = "First Name cannot contain numbers";
}
If in case the user does use an alpha numeric firstname, i display the error as :
<p><input type="text" class="span2" maxlength = "20" name="firstname" required id="firstname" placeholder="First Name"></p>
<?php if (isset($err_alpha_firstname)) {echo $err_alpha_firstname;}?>
It all works fine. however since this validation is server side via php, inorder for the errors to show up, i have to submit the form, which then reloads( since the form submits to the page itself) and then the errors are displayed. Now I want those errors which are stored in a php variable ex:$err_alpha_firstname , to be displayed instantaneously via javascript or ajax (i dont know anything about either of the languages so pardon me please). Is there a simple script that would let me display those errors on the fly? I know php is server side and javascript is client side so there might be an issue.

You could either use straight JavaScript or AJAX to PHP.
I'm going to show you the straight JS method.
You'd do something like this for each input.
var hint = $("#fname-hint");
var fname = $("#firstname");
fname.on("change", function(){
if (!this.value.match(/\d+/g)) { // dosen't contain numbers
hint.html("");
fname.removeClass("error");
}
else {
fname.addClass("error");
hint.html("Your name can't contain numbers!");
}
});
Now when the form is submitted, make sure there are no errors:
var form = $("#form");
form.submit(function(e) {
var inputs = form.children("input");
inputs.each(function(){
var input = $(this);
if (!input.hasClass("error")) {
alert("Errors in form!");
input.select();
e.preventDefault();
break;
}
});
});
I use the jQuery $.post() function and return json from my php code:
function fail ($message){
die(json_encode(array('status'=>'fail', 'message'=>$message)));
}
function success ($message){
die(json_encode(array('status'=>'success', 'message'=>$message)));
}
