Checkboxes in Form to javascript to php - javascript

I have a form with dynamic checkboxes based on MySQL data. On submit the DIV refreshes without blinking with JavaScript. I'm trying to send the form data to PHP for updating the MySQL but I constantly run into one error or another due to my lack of JavaScript knowledge. My current attempt (see below) gives the "TypeError: document.multipix_form.pix is undefined" error in FireBug.
function multipicupdate(php_file, purpose, where) {
var request = getXMLHTTP(); // call the function for the XMLHttpRequest instance
var a = document.getElementById("optone").value ;
var b = document.getElementById("table").value ;
var boxes = document.multipix_form.pix.length
txt = ""
for (i = 0; i < boxes; i++) {
if (document.multipix_form.pix[i].checked) {
txt = txt + document.multipix_form.pix[i].value + " "
}
}
var the_data = 'purpose='+purpose+'&var1='+a+'&var2='+b+'&var3='+txt;
request.open("POST", php_file, true); // set the request
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.send(the_data); // calls the send() method with datas as parameter
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
document.getElementById(where).innerHTML = request.responseText;
}
}
}
The form name is multipix_form. The three form inputs are optone (select), table (select), and pix[] (checkbox). The pix[] is dynamic as I said before. It is the passing of the checkbox data from JavaScript to php that has me stumped.
My form submit is :
<input type="button" onClick="multipicupdate('php/ajaxprocess.php', 'multipix', 'message_profile'); return false;" value="Save changes to this photo">
The ajaxprocess.php will take the form data and update MySQL.

As you have tagged jQuery, here's a jQuery solution. You can simplify this code quite a lot. Firstly, you can use serialize() to create a querystring from the values of the inputs in that form. Then you can use $.ajax to send that information to the page you need. Try this:
<input type="button" value="Save changes to this photo" id="multipicupdate">
$('#multipicupdate').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: '',
type: 'POST',
data: $('#myForm').serialize(), // change the selector as needed
success: function(data) {
$('#message_profile').html(data);
}
});
});

You need a semicolon after
var boxes = document.multipix_form.pix.length
and
txt = ""

jQuery error in client post response - POST HTTP/1.1" 400

I can't figure out what is wrong with my code and I'm not really good with jQuery.
I'm trying to build HTML form will hold cars data. It's based on this form:
HTML source code is here.
Form data is sent on button click on the end back to program.
I upgraded that form with cascading manufacturer (proizvodjac in code) and car models droplist based on this code. But it's not working.
I keep receiving HTTP 400 which would mean that my POST call from client is malformed.
Here is my jQuery functions:
$(function () {
var carsdata = {"alfaromeo":["mito","156","147","giulietta","159","166","146"],"audi":["a3","a4","a6","a5","80","a1","q3","a8","q5"],"bmw":["320","116","x3","316","318","118","530","x1","520","x5","525","330","120","323","serija 1"],"chevrolet":["spark","lacetti","captiva","aveo","cruze"],"citroen":["c4","c4 grand picasso","c3","c5","c4 picasso","xsara","berlingo","c2","xsara picasso","saxo","ds5","c1"],"fiat":["brava","bravo","panda","grande punto","stilo","punto","punto evo","doblo","500","tipo","uno","coupe"],"ford":["c-max","fiesta","focus","mondeo","fusion","ka","escort"],"honda":["civic","accord","cr-v"],"hyundai":["getz","i10","i20","atos","i30","coupe","elantra","accent","santa fe","ix35","tucson"],"kia":["rio","pro_cee'd","sportage","cee'd","pride","sorento"],"mazda":["3","2","323 f","626","6","cx-5","323","premacy","5"],"mercedes":["a-klasa","c-klasa","e-klasa","b-klasa","124"],"mercedes-benz":["e-klasa","clk-klasa","c-klasa","s-klasa","190","a-klasa","b-klasa","c t-model","ml-klasa","w 124","124"],"nissan":["qashqai","x-trail","note","primera","micra","juke","almera"],"opel":["corsa","astra","zafira","meriva","vectra","insignia","mokka","tigra","combo","astra gtc","kadett"],"peugeot":["308","207","206","306","106","307","208","406","508","407","partner","3008","405"],"renault":["thalia","clio","scenic","grand scenic","kangoo","captur","megane grandtour","megane","laguna","5","megane break","twingo","modus","kadjar","megane classic","espace","megane scenic","megane coupe","megane sedan"],"seat":["toledo","leon","ibiza","altea","cordoba"],"skoda":["fabia","octavia","120","superb","felicia","rapid"],"smart":["fortwo"],"toyota":["corolla","yaris","auris","avensis","rav 4","land cruiser"],"vw":["polo","golf v","golf iv","golf vii","passat","golf vi","jetta","passat variant","caddy","sharan","tiguan","golf variant","golf ii","vento","golfplus","golf iii","bora","touran","touareg","up!"]};

}
$(model).html('');
$.each(item, function(item, key) {

});
$("#containerProizModel").append(model);
$("button#predict").click(function(e){

/*send the ajax request*/
$.ajax({
method : "POST",

var price = json_result['price'];
swal('Predviđena cijena auta je '+price+' kn', '','success')
},
error : function(){
console.log("error")
}
})
})
})
Comments and explanations are in the code.
On server side:
Server is expecting user_input dictionary which is built from variables returned by POST request. Here is how API method looks:
#app.route('/api',methods=['POST'])
def get_delay():
result=request.form
proizvodjac = result['proizvodjac']
model = result['model']
godina_proizvodnje = result['godina_proizvodnje']
snaga_motora = result['snaga_motora']
vrsta_goriva = result['vrsta_goriva']
kilometraza = result['kilometraza']
user_input = {'proizvodjac':proizvodjac,
'model':model,
'godina_proizvodnje':godina_proizvodnje,
'snaga_motora':snaga_motora,
'vrsta_goriva':vrsta_goriva,
'kilometraza':kilometraza
}
print(user_input)
a = input_to_one_hot(result)
price_pred = gbr.predict([a])[0]
price_pred = round(price_pred, 2)
return json.dumps({'price':price_pred});
Error from Google Chrome Developer Console:
which is pointing to:
EDIT 1:
I don' know how to pass proizvodjac and model to onClick function. See what happens on breakpoint:
XHR on Network tab:
HTML form is being filled with data OK only manufacturer and model are not passed to onClick:
EDIT 2:
Getting closer to solution. I've added :
var proizvodjac = $("#proizvodjac").val()
var model = $("#model").val()
as suggested and now all variables are successfully passed!
But I still get error 400 as final ajax POST call is getting stuck somwhere..
EDIT 3:
changed from
data : $('form').serialize()
to
data = data
AJAX method receives everything ok:
Still it doesn't work.
There are two main issues here:
1) you aren't getting the values from two of your fields correctly. You need to add
var proizvodjac = $("#proizvodjac").val()
var model = $("#model").val()
inside the $("button#predict").click(function(e){ function.
2) You're collecting all these values and putting them into your data variable...but then you aren't doing anything with it. Your AJAX request is configured as follows in respect of what data to send:
data : $('form').serialize()
The serialize() function automatically scoops up all the raw data from fields within your <form> tags. In your scenario, if you want to send a custom set of data (rather than just the as-is contents of the form) as per your data object, then you simply need to change this to
data: data
so it sends the information from that object in the POST request instead.

Use javascript to rename file before upload

Let's say I have this list of forms like so:
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('uploadImage');
each item in this list look like this:
<form method=​"post" action=​"/​upload" enctype=​"multipart/​form-data" id=​"f_x" class=​"uploadImage">
​ <input type=​"file" id=​"u_x">​
<input type=​"submit" value=​"Submit" id=​"s_x">​
</form>​
where x = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
How do I loop through this list and do two things:
1 - Rename the file name
2 - Submit the form for uploading the file
I looked for many resources online like this one: https://www.telerik.com/forums/change-file's-name-when-it's-uploaded-via-html-form, all of them are using Jquery , I need it in javascript
update :-
I figured out how to get to the input value of each form
forms[0].elements[0] this will return the first input of the first form on the list
forms[0].elements[0].value this output the value of the file input
So here is the code you linked to, and I will break it down a bit after. A lot of it is vanilla javascript.
$(document).ready(function() {
initImageUpload();
function initImageUpload() {
$("#btn-submit").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var everlive = new Everlive({
appId: "",
scheme: "https"
});
// construct the form data and apply new file name
var file = $('#image-file').get(0).files[0];
var newFileName = file.filename + "new";
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', file, newFileName);
$.ajax({
url: everlive.files.getUploadUrl(), // get the upload URL for the server
success: function(fileData) {
alert('Created file with Id: ' + fileData.Result[0].Id); // access the result of the file upload for the created file
alert('The created file Uri is available at URL: ' + fileData.Result[0].Uri);
},
error: function(e) {
alert('error ' + e.message);
},
// Form data
data: formData,
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false
});
return false;
});
}
});
As is mentioned, this uses jQuery $.ajax() to create an AJAX POST to the server with new FormData where the name of the file has been modified. The new FormData is then sent to the server instead of the HTML Form data.
So, when the button is clicked to submit the form, this event is prevented.
var file = $('#image-file').get(0).files[0];
This is then used to select the <input> element in jQuery and then collect the files info from the element.
var file = document.getElementById("image-file").files[0];
This can be done with JavaScript. Largely the rest of the script would be unchanged, except for the initialization and sending of POST Data via AJAX.
It might be best to create a function that you send the form to and it can then return the new form data with new name. As you did not want to provide an MCVE, it's hard to give you an example since it's not clear how the data for the new name would be create or gathered from.
function nameFile(inEl, newName){
var file = inEl.files[0];
var results = new FormData();
results.append('file', file, newName);
return results;
}
function sendFile(url, formData){
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", url);
request.send(formData);
}
sendFile("/​upload", nameFile(document.getElementById("file-image"), "UserFile-" + new Date().now() + ".jpg"));
Another issue is if you have multiple forms, and multiple submit buttons, which one will trigger all the items to get uploaded? Either way, you'd have to iterate each form (maybe with a for() loop) collect the form data from each, update the name, and submit each one, most likely via AJAX.
Hope this helps.

Delete function not working properly - Ajax

I have a pm system and I would like for all checked messages to be deleted. So far, it only deletes one at a time and never the one selected. Instead it deletes the one with the youngest id value. I'm new to ajax and all help is appreciated.
Here's my function:
function deletePm(pmid,wrapperid,originator){
var conf = confirm(originator+"Press OK to confirm deletion of this message and its replies");
if(conf != true){
return false;
}
var ajax = ajaxObj("POST", "php_parsers/pm_system.php");
ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(ajaxReturn(ajax) == true) {
if(ajax.responseText == "delete_ok"){
_(wrapperid).style.display = 'none';
} else {
alert(ajax.responseText);
}
}
}
ajax.send("action=delete_pm&pmid="+pmid+"&originator="+originator);
}
You may need to modify your form in order to do this. You have to pass the checkboxes to your PHP script as an array through ajax.
<input type='checkbox' name='pm[]' value='1'>1<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='pm[]' value='2'>2<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='pm[]' value='3'>3<br>
With the checkboxes like this, PHP can handle an array as such:
$_POST['pm'];
You will need to modify your ajax script to be able to send the array, and probably change your PHP script to loop thru the array value it receives. It's probably expecting an integer (a single ID) and you are about to send it an array.
Revised Ajax Method:
$("#submit").on('click',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var data = {
'pmIds': $("input[name='pm[]']").serializeArray(),
'action' : 'delete_pm',
'originator' : 'whatever'
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'php_parsers/pm_system.php',
data: data,
success: function(result) {
window.console.log('Successful');
},
});
})

checking instantly php arrays using jquery / ajax

I want to be able to check whether values exist in the php array without having to click the submit button to do those checks using jquery/ajax.
when users enter an abbreviation in the text field want to be able to show that the brand exists (either vw or tyta) or not (as they type in the input box) and show the results in the carnamestatus div.
I was following a tutorial from youtube, however it queried against a mysql database.
I was wondering if this is possible using php arrays instead of mysql? I would be grateful if you could pick any faults in the code.
the code is as follows:
<?php
$car = array()
$car["vw"] = array( "name" => "volkswagen");
$car["tyta"] = array( "name => "toyota");
?>
the html code is as follows:
<label for="carname">Car Code:</label> <input type="text" onblur="checkcar()" value="" id="carname" />
<div id="carnamestatus"></div>
the checkcar()
function checkcar(){
var u = _("carname").value;
if(u != ""){
_("carname").innerHTML = 'checking ...';
var B = new XMLHttpRequest();
B.open("POST","check.php",true); /
B.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
B.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(B.readyState==4 && B.status== 200) {
_("carnamestatus").innerHTML = B.responseText;
}
}
var v = "carnamecheck="+u;
B.send(v);
}
}
</script>
Use Javascript keyboard event and then, send the value of the input into your php function.
For example:
$("#youInput").keyup(
function() {
$.ajax(
{
type: "post",
url: "your_url.php",
data: {params: $(this).val()},
success: function(data) {
console.log(data)
}
}
);
}
);
And in you php code, just retrieve the params value, $_POST['params']
Explain
When you press the keybord, your retrieve the value of the input ( here, it is $(this).val() where this represents #yourInput ), then you send the value via ajax (Here we use post type) with your url and the different params that you will send to the server side. If you post the value with $_POST['params'] you will get the value entered in the input. And if it's success, the callback function will retrieve the data returned by your server side.
Here, we just use, jQuery.ajax but you can find more about ajax here or here. Using library make it easy to work with.
Hope it helps you!

Hidden input text submit with jquery

I have a javascript var that returns the value of a input text ID "ven_prod", with the value of "ven_prod" I need to make a search in my database without submiting the page.
I can't use a javascript var in the java code, so i've setted the value in a hidden input text ID "prod_hidden", but I need to submit it to get the value with the java code and make the search...How do I do it ?
<input id="ven_prod" type="text" placeHolder="Código de Barras" autofocus>
<input id="prod_hidden" type="text" value="">
<script>
$('#ven_prod').keypress(function (e)
{
if(e.keyCode==13)
{
var table = document.getElementById('tbprodutos');
var tblBody = table.tBodies[0];
var newRow = tblBody.insertRow(-1);
var prod = document.getElementById('ven_prod').value;
var qtd = document.getElementById('ven_qtd');
var barra = prod.substring(0, 12);
var num = prod.substring(14, 16);
document.getElementById('prod_hidden').value = barra;
var ref = <%=pd.getProdutosBarra(request.getParameter("prod_hidden")).getPro_referencia()%>;
OR
var ref = <%=pd.getProdutosBarra(JS VAR 'barras HERE).getPro_referencia()%>;
if(prod.length==16) {
var newCell0 = newRow.insertCell(0);
newCell0.innerHTML = '<td>'+ref+'</td>';
var newCell1 = newRow.insertCell(1);
newCell1.innerHTML = '<td>'+num+'</td>';
var newCell2 = newRow.insertCell(2);
newCell2.innerHTML = '<td>'+qtd.value+'</td>';
var newCell3 = newRow.insertCell(3);
newCell3.innerHTML = '<td>R$ '+valor+'</td>';
var newCell4 = newRow.insertCell(4);
newCell4.innerHTML = '<td>'+barra+'</td>';
document.getElementById('ref').value = '6755';
document.getElementById('imgsrc').src = './?acao=Img&pro_id=1';
document.getElementById('valortotal').value = 'Testando novo valor';
document.getElementById('ven_prod').value = '';
document.getElementById('ven_qtd').value = '1';
} else {
document.getElementById('ven_prod').value = '';
document.getElementById('ven_qtd').value = '1';
alert("Código de barras inválido!");
}
return false;
}
});
</script>
you can make ajax call using jQuery as follows. will submit your form data as well along with hidden elements.
var form = jQuery("#YourFormID");
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: form.attr("action"),
data: form.serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
value of a input text named "pro_barras"
Are you sure? Look at this:
<input type="hidden" id="pro_barras">
its not the name of the input, its the ID. You can try using this:
<input type="hidden" name="pro_barras">
And now, you can use $.ajax to send the request to a new page, where you will request the data from the database. And then you'll write the response, and take it back on the first page.
What it will do depends on how you use it. I will try to ask you to simply use serialize() method by jQuery API, this will let you to create a simple URL param with the data from the form, use it as:
$.ajax({
var data = $('#formid').serialize(); // serialize the form..
url: "link/to/file.cshtml",
data: data,
success: function (datares) {
$('#resultid').html(datares); // write the result in the element
}
})
If you want to get only the value from that field you can use
var data = $('input[name=pro_barras]').val();
without submiting the page.
Your page will have to be submitted when you click on input type="submit" button. To prevent that you can use
$('#idofsubmitbutton').click(function () {
return false; // stop execution and stay on page..
}
Then the ajax will continue, other method is to remove the input type="submit" and use <button></button> which won't cause any submission.
get the value with the java code
This isn't java :) Its JavaScript, they are totally different. :)
a) You can use like that:
$("#pro_barras").bind("change paste keyup", function() {
//$('.someClass').submit();
$('#it_is_form_id').submit(); // it call form's submit function
});
The piece of code detected when input text change. To more info see also here If you want to customize form submit function
$('#it_is_form_id').bind("submit", function(){
//alert("submit");
// make here simple ajax query
return false; //<-- it is used so that default submit function doesn't work after above code.
});
Don't forget, all code will be inside
<script>
$(function() {
// your code must be here
});
</script>
b) If you don't want to use form, you can do like that:
<script>
$(function() {
$("#pro_barras").bind("change paste keyup", function() {
var text = $("#pro_barras").val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "yourUrl",
data: text,
success: function(res){
console.log(res);
},
error: function(err){
console.log(err);
}
});
});
});
</script>
Making simple ajax query:
Using Jquery post method
https://stackoverflow.com/a/8567149/1746258
Pass entire form as data in jQuery Ajax function
You could also add a custom attribute to your input element (in Jquery):
<input type='text' id='pro_barras' customattr='myCustomInfo'/>
<script>
var customValue = $('#pro_barras').attr('mycustomvar');
alert(customValue);
</script>
