first of all good Morning.
I am working on a search form and it calls a php that connects to a mysql database to get the results.
My problem is i am trying to get the results from my php...
When i search and calls the function on php it shows on another page...
Is there a way of know how to get the data from the php to javascript?
My html search form:
<div class="quicky-search pesquisaa-form">
<form id="pesquisaa" action="" method="POST" autocomplete="off">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" name="query" placeholder="Pesquisar"/>
<button type="submit" value="Search" class="submity-search"><span class="icon-search"></span></button>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
My script inside the html:
<script>
$(function(){
$('#pesquisaa').validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
$(form).ajaxSubmit({
url: 'assets/email/pesquisar-cdd.php',
success: function() {
$('#pesquisaa').hide();
$('#pesquisaa-form').append(PS: I NEED THE RESULT INSIDE HERE TO SHOW ON MY HTML PAGE)
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
Now my PHP:
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password") or die("Error connecting to database: ".mysql_error());
/*
localhost - it's location of the mysql server, usually localhost
root - your username
third is your password
if connection fails it will stop loading the page and display an error
*/
mysql_select_db("atuacdd") or die(mysql_error());
/* tutorial_search is the name of database we've created */
?>
<?php
$query = $_POST['query'];
// gets value sent over search form
$min_length = 3;
// you can set minimum length of the query if you want
if(strlen($query) >= $min_length){ // if query length is more or equal minimum length then
$query = htmlspecialchars($query);
// changes characters used in html to their equivalents, for example: < to >
$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query);
// makes sure nobody uses SQL injection
$raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cidades
WHERE (`title` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`text` LIKE '%".$query."%')") or die(mysql_error());
// * means that it selects all fields, you can also write: `id`, `title`, `text`
// articles is the name of our table
// '%$query%' is what we're looking for, % means anything, for example if $query is Hello
// it will match "hello", "Hello man", "gogohello", if you want exact match use `title`='$query'
// or if you want to match just full word so "gogohello" is out use '% $query %' ...OR ... '$query %' ... OR ... '% $query'
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
// $results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results) puts data from database into array, while it's valid it does the loop
echo "<p><h3>".$results['title']."</h3>".$results['text']."</p>";
// posts results gotten from database(title and text) you can also show id ($results['id'])
}
}
else{ // if there is no matching rows do following
echo "Desculpe não atuamos nesta Cidade desejada!";
}
}
else{ // if query length is less than minimum
echo "Tamanho Minimo é ".$min_length;
}
?>
use
success: function(data){
}
instead of
success: function(){
}
you will get the data echoed on php side.

I want to manipulate the value that it is stored in this variable $result[]. Specifically i want to return that value from php file to my html file. What should i do? Can you give me some reference code when i want to return things from server side to client side for further manipulation?

Note that this answer is making use of jQuery notation, so you will need to include a jQuery library in your application in order to make this example work:
<script src="/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Since you have your HTML and PHP in separate files, you can use AJAX to output your HTML in an element you so desire on your HTML page.
Example of jQuery AJAX:
<script>
function submitMyForm() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/your_page.php',
data: $('#yourFormId').serialize(),
success: function (html) {
//do something on success?
$('#outPut').html(html);
var bingoValue=4;
if( $('#outPut').text().indexOf(''+bingoValue) > 0){
alert('bingo!');
}
else {
alert('No!');
}
}
});
}
</script>
Note that I encapsulated the AJAX function in another function that you can choose to call onclick on a button for example.
<button id="mySubmitButton" onclick="submitMyForm();">Submit form!</button>
Step-by-step:
What we do in our AJAX function, is that we declare our data type, just like you would do with a form element. In your PHP file I noticed that you used the POST method, so that's what I incorporated in the AJAX function as well.
Next we declare our URL, which is where the data will be sent. This is the same page that your current form is sending the data to, which is your PHP page.
We then the declare our data. Now, there are different ways of doing this. I assume you are using a form currently to POST your data to your PHP page, so I thought we might as well make use of that form now that you have it anyways. What we do is that we basically serialize the data inside your form as our POST values, just like you do on a normal form submit. Another way of doing it, would be to declare individual variables as your POST variables.
Example of individual variables:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/your_page.php',
data: {
myVariable : data,
anotherVariable : moreData
//etc.
},
success: function (html) {
//do something on success?
$('#outPut').html(html);
}
});
A literal example of a variable to parse: myVariable : $('input#bookId').val().
The operator : in our AJAX function is basically an = in this case, so we set our variable to be equal to whatever we want. In the literal example myVariable will contain the value of an input field with the id bookId. You can do targeting by any selector you want, and you can look that up. I just used this as an example.
In the success function of the AJAX function, you can basically do something upon success. This is where you could insert the HTML that you wish to output from your PHP page into another element (a div for example). In my AJAX example, I am outputting the html from the PHP page into an element that contains the id outPut.
We also write a condition in our success function (based off comments to this answer), where we check for a specific substring value in the div element. This substring value is defined through the variable bingoValue. In my example I set that to be equal to 4, so whenever "4" exists inside the div element, it enters the condition.
Example:
<div id="outPut"></div>
If you make use of this example, then whatever HTML you structure in your PHP file, making use of the PHP values in your PHP file, will be inserted into the div element.
<?php
/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "", "mysql3");
// Check connection
if($link === false) {
die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$user_id =$_POST['user_id'];
$book_id =$_POST['book_id'];
$game_id =$_POST['game_id'];
$site_id =$_POST['site_id'];
//Attempt insert query execution
$query = "SELECT site_id FROM components WHERE user_id='$user_id' && book_id='$book_id' && game_id='$game_id' ORDER BY site_id DESC LIMIT 1";
$res = mysqli_query($link,$query);
$result = array();
$res = mysqli_query($link,$query) or die(mysqli_error($link));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)){
$result=$row['site_id'];
echo $result.' ';
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
?>
Your form also no longer needs an action defined as all of that is now taken care of by the AJAX function.
So change:
<form name="LoadGame" id="LoadGame" method="post" action="http://127.0.0.1/PHP/mine1.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
to:
<form name="LoadGame" id="LoadGame" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
And make sure that your button: <button id="mySubmitButton" onclick="submitMyForm();">Submit form!</button> is outside of your form tag, as buttons without a defined type attribute will have type="submit" by default inside a form tag.
If you need anything elaborated, let me know. :)
First of all: remove the script tag from your php.
Secondly: Why are you executing the sql statement two times?
To your question:
You have to send a request to your PHP script via AJAX: (Place this inside <script> tags and make sure to include jquery correctly)
$(() => {
$('form').on('submit', () => {
event.preventDefault()
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '<your-php-file>', // Modify to your requirements
dataType: 'json',
data: $('form').serialize() // Modify to your requirements
}).done(function(response){
console.log(response)
}).fail(function(){
console.log('ERROR')
})
})
})
Your PHP-Script which needs to return JSON:
$query = "SELECT site_id FROM components WHERE user_id='$user_id' && book_id='$book_id' && game_id='$game_id' ORDER BY site_id DESC LIMIT 1";
// Execute Query
$res = mysqli_query($link,$query) or die(mysqli_error($link));
// Get Rows
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)){
$result[] = $row['site_id'];
}
// Return JSON to AJAX
echo json_encode($result);
Take a look at your developer console.
Haven't tested it.
I want search ā, è.. this special characters and show in page, but when i search the value its converting into different characters. am getting 'nor result found
my html:
<form action="" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
this is my php code
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","test2");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()){
echo "Failed to connect
to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$ksl = $_GET['name'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM app WHERE texts LIKE '%$ksl%' ";
if($result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql)){
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['texts'];
}
} else{
echo "No records matching your query were found.";
}
} else{
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($conn);
}
?>
my js code
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#name').keyup(function(){
var gk = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'test.php',
data: {
'submit': true,
'name' : gk,
},
success: function (data) {
$('#testa').html(data);
}
});
})
});
</script>
how to use special characters in search?
As far as I'm aware you can't do this in mysql. Some workarounds of this use HEX values instead to search for these accents, a work around that I have used ages ago, which is not an ideal way but it did work is to do something like this
SELECT * FROM `app` WHERE `text` REGEXP '(s|š|Š|[sšŠ])(i|í|Í|[iíÍ])(r|ŕ|Ŕ|
. ř|Ř|[rŕŔřŘ])(e|é|É|ě|Ě|[eéÉěĚ])(n|ň|Ň|[nňŇ])(A|a|á|Á|ä|Ä|0|[AaáÁäÄ0])'
Or from doing some more research I found a way to use something like this
SELECT whateverYouWant
FROM app
WHERE text <> CONVERT(columnToCheck USING ASCII)
The CONVERT(col USING charset) function will turns the unconvertable characters into replacement characters. Then, the converted and unconverted text will be unequal.
Take a look at this link to find more information about this: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/charset-repertoire.html
I have two php files that handle a commenting system I have created for my website. On the index.php I have my form and an echo statement that prints out the user input from my database. I have another file called insert.php that actually takes in the user input and inserts that into my database before it is printed out.
My index.php basically looks like this
<form id="comment_form" action="insertCSAir.php" method="GET">
Comments:
<input type="text" class="text_cmt" name="field1_name" id="field1_name"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
<input type='hidden' name='parent_id' id='parent_id' value='0'/>
</form>
<!--connects to database and queries to print out on site-->
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'name', '', 'comment_schema');
$query="SELECT COMMENTS FROM csAirComment";
$results = mysqli_query($link,$query);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo '<div class="comment" >';
$output= $row["COMMENTS"];
//protects against cross site scripting
echo htmlspecialchars($output ,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
echo '</div>';
}
?>
I want users to be able to write comments and have it updated without reloading the page (which is why I will be using AJAX). This is the code I have added to the head tag
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
// this is the id of the form
$("#comment_form").submit(function(e) {
var url = "insert.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
data: $("#comment_form").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(data)
{
alert(data); // show response from the php script.
}
});
e.preventDefault(); // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
</script>
However, nothing is happening. The alert() doesn't actually do anything and I'm not exactly sure how to make it so that when the user comments, it gets added to my comments in order (it should be appending down the page). I think that the code I added is the basic of what needs to happen, but not even the alert is working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is basically insert.php
if(!empty($_GET["field1_name"])) {
//protects against SQL injection
$field1_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET["field1_name"]);
$field1_name_array = explode(" ",$field1_name);
foreach($field1_name_array as $element){
$query = "SELECT replaceWord FROM changeWord WHERE badWord = '" . $element . "' ";
$query_link = mysqli_query($link,$query);
if(mysqli_num_rows($query_link)>0){
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query_link);
$goodWord = $row['replaceWord'];
$element= $goodWord;
}
$newComment = $newComment." ".$element;
}
//Escape user inputs for security
$sql = "INSERT INTO parentComment (COMMENTS) VALUES ('$newComment')";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
//attempt insert query execution
header("Location:index.php");
die();
mysqli_close($link);
}
else{
die('comment is not set or not containing valid value');
it also filters out bad words which is why there's an if statement check for that.
<?php
if(!empty($_GET["field1_name"])) {
//protects against SQL injection
$field1_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET["field1_name"]);
$field1_name_array = explode(" ",$field1_name);
foreach($field1_name_array as $element)
{
$query = "SELECT replaceWord FROM changeWord WHERE badWord = '" . $element . "' ";
$query_link = mysqli_query($link,$query);
if(mysqli_num_rows($query_link)>0)
{
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query_link);
$goodWord = $row['replaceWord'];
$element= $goodWord;
}
$newComment = $newComment." ".$element;
}
//Escape user inputs for security
$sql = "INSERT INTO parentComment (COMMENTS) VALUES ('$newComment')";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
//attempt insert query execution
if ($result)
{
http_response_code(200); //OK
//you may want to send it in json-format. its up to you
$json = [
'commment' => $newComment
];
print_r( json_encode($json) );
exit();
}
//header("Location:chess.php"); don't know why you would do that in an ajax-accessed file
//die();
mysqli_close($link);
}
else{
die('comment is not set or not containing valid value');
}
?>
<script>
// this is the id of the form
$("#comment_form").submit(function(e) {
var url = "insert.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "GET", //Id recommend "post"
url: url,
dataType: json,
data: $("#comment_form").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(data)
{
alert(data); // show response from the php script.
$('#myElement').append( data.comment );
}
});
e.preventDefault(); // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
</script>
To get a response from "insert.php" you actually need to print/echo the content you want to handle in the "success()" from the ajax-request.
Also you want to set the response-code to 200 to make sure "success: function(data)" will be called. Otherwise you might end up in "error: function(data)".
Hello I have two files that are supposed to be connected to one another. I want to send an AJAX request to another page that uses a sql query to send form information.
The application that I'm trying to create is a questionnaire with eight questions, each questions has four answers paired together with the same id (qid) and each answer has a value from the database. After you answer eight questions you will see a button that sends an AJAX request to the page test.php, (named submitAJAX).
The problem is that although my connection with AJAX is working, the values from the form are not being sent to my database. Previously I thought that the problem may lie with the form page, but now I I think the problem lies in this file:
test.php (file with json)
<?php
$localhost = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$connect = mysqli_connect($localhost, $username, $password) or die ("Kunde inte koppla");
mysqli_select_db($connect, 'wildfire');
if(count($_GET) > 0){
$answerPoint = intval($_GET['radiobtn']);
$qid = intval($_GET['qid']);
$tid = intval($_GET['tid']);
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO result (qid, points, tid) VALUES ($qid, $answerPoint, $tid)";
$connect->query($sql2);
$lastid = $connect->insert_id;
if($lastid>0) {
echo json_encode(array('status'=>1));
}
else{
echo json_encode(array('status'=>0));
}
}
?>
I think that the problem may lie in the row where: if($lastid>0) {
$lastid should always be more than 0, but whenever I check test.php I get this message: {"status":0} What's intended is that I get this message: {"status":1}
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<?php
$localhost = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$connect = mysqli_connect($localhost, $username, $password) or die ("Kunde inte koppla");
mysqli_select_db($connect, 'wildfire');
$qid = 1;
if(count($_POST) > 0){
$qid = intval($_POST['qid'])+1;
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="qid" id="qid" value="<?=$qid?>">
<?php
$sql1 = mysqli_query($connect,"SELECT * FROM question where answer != '' && qid =".intval($qid));
while($row1=mysqli_fetch_assoc($sql1)){
?>
<input type='radio' name='answer1' class="radiobtn" value="<?php echo $row1['Point'];?>">
<input type='hidden' name='tid' class="tid" value="<?php echo $row1['tid'];?>">
<?php echo $row1['answer'];?><br>
<?php
}
?>
<?php if ($qid <= 8) { ?>
<button type="button" onclick="history.back();">Tillbaka</button>
<button type="submit">Nästa</button>
<?php } else { ?>
<button id="submitAjax" type="submit">Avsluta provet</button>
<?php } ?>
</form>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>

var qid = $('#qid').val();
var answer = $('input[name=answer1]:radio').val();
$.ajax(
{
type: "GET",
url: 'test.php',
dataType: "json",
data: "radiobtn="+radiobtn+"&qid="+qid,
success: function (response) {
if(response.status == true){
alert('points added');
}
else{
alert('points not added');
}
}
});
return false;
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
The values that I want to send to my database from test.php are:
qid(int), tid(int), Point(int)
There is a database connection, and my test.php file's sql query should work, but its not sending form information. Is there something that I need to rewrite or fix to make it work?
First, your data parameter in the AJAX call is not using the correct syntax. You're missing brackets. It should look like:
data: JSON.stringify({ radiobtn: radiobtn, qid: qid }),
Second, I'd suggest using POST instead of GET:
type: "POST",
which means that you need to look for your data in $_POST['radiobtn'] and $_POST['qid'] on test.php. NOTE: you should check for the key you expect using isset() before assigning the value to a variable, like so:
$myBtn = isset($_POST['radiobtn']) ? $_POST['radiobtn'] : null;
Third, for testing, use a console.log() inside your condition that checks for the checkbox being checked in order to verify that condition is working as expected.
if($('.radiobtn').is(':checked')) {
console.log('here');
UPDATE:
Fourth: You should specify the content type in your AJAX call, like so:
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
After you execute your query that inserts the result you can use a sql statement to select the last insert id. Try something like
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO result (qid, points, tid) VALUES ($qid, $answerPoint, $tid)";
$connect->query($sql2);
$result = $connect->query("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()");
$row = $result->fetch_row();
$lastid = $row[0];
That should return the correct last insert id, if that was where your error was occurring.
mysqli_insert_id() returns the ID generated by a query on a table with a column having the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute.
In your SQL, you are providing the ID yourself, there is no auto-increment. So you should get 0 from $connect->insert_id, because the function returns zero if there was no previous query on the connection or if the query did not update an AUTO_INCREMENT value.
For your purpose, you can use the return value of mysqli_query() instead, which returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.
if($connect->query($sql2)) {
echo json_encode(array('status'=>1));
}
else{
echo json_encode(array('status'=>0));
}
I wrote a php function which does the job perfectly if it is called standalone by PHP page. but I want to integrate this function in a program and want to call it when a button is clicked.
My PHP function is
function adddata($mobile){
// outside of this function, another database is already selected to perform different
//tasks with program's original database, These constants are defined only within this
//this function to communicate another database present at the same host
define ("HOSTNAME","localhost");
define ("USERNAME","root");
define ("PWD","");
define ("DBNAME","budgetbot");
// link to mysql server
if (!mysql_connect(HOSTNAME,USERNAME,PWD)) {
die ("Cannot connect to mysql server" . mysql_error() );
}
// selecting the database
if (!mysql_select_db(DBNAME)) {
die ("Cannot select database" . mysql_error() );
}
//inserting phone number into database
$query = "INSERT INTO `verify_bot` (phone_number) values('".$mobile."')";
if(!mysql_query($query)){
die( mysql_error() );
}
// wait for 2 seconds after adding the data into the database
sleep(2);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `verify_bot` WHERE phone_number = ".$mobile;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die( mysql_error() );
// if more than one records found for the same phone number
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 1){
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$data[] = $row['response'];
}
// return an array of names for the same phone numbers
return $data;
}else{
// if only one record found
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$response = $row['response'];
return $response;
}
// end of function
}

<form action="self_page_address_here" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" class="line_item_form" autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" name="mobile_number" value="" placeholder="(000) 000-0000" class="serial_item" size="20" id="serialnumber_1" maxlength="10" />
<button id="verify" class="btn btn-primary">Verify</button>
<button id="cname" class="btn btn-primary"><!-- I want to print return value of the php function here --></button>
</form>
I want to call this function and assign the return value to a javascript variable by ajax/jquery.
My code to do this is...
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$('#verify').click(function(){
var value = $( ".serial_item" ).val();
//I have some knowledge about php but I am beginner at ajax/jquery so don't know what is happening below. but I got this code by different search but doesn't work
$.ajax({
url : "add_data.php&f="+value,
type : "GET"
success: function(data){
document.getElementById("cname").innerHTML = data;
}
});
});
</script>
I would like to share that the above javascript code is placed outside of documnet.ready(){}
scope
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Because your <button> elements have no type="button" attribute, they're supposed to submit the form using normal POST request.
You should either use type="button" attribute on your buttons, or prevent default form submission using event.preventDefault():
$('#verify').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var value = $( ".serial_item" ).val();
$.ajax({
// there's a typo, should use '?' instead of '&':
url : "add_data.php?f="+value,
type : "GET",
success: function(data){
$("#cname").html(data);
}
});
});
[EDIT] Then in add_data.php (if you call AJAX to the same page, place this code at the top, so that no HTML is rendered before this):
if(isset($_GET['f'])){
// call your function:
$result = adddata(trim($_GET['f']));
// if returned value is an array, implode it:
echo is_array($result) ? implode(', ', $result) : $result;
// if this is on the same page use exit instead of echo:
// exit(is_array($result) ? implode(', ', $result) : $result);
}
Make sure you escape the value on $query.
