send data by Jquery ajax to same php

i need help because i'm stuck and don't know what's wrong ,i try to send user clicked button "id" to php to get related data from database in the same page
$(".button_class").on("click", function() {
ToEditId = $(this).attr('id');
console.log(ToEditId ); //to check clicked id is Ok
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: same/php/page/path,
data: {
ToEditId: ToEditId
},
success: function(res, data) {
console.log(res, data);
},
error: function(err) {
alert(err);
}
});
});
the ajax print success in console log ,here is php code to get the value if clicked id
<?php
if(isset($_POST['ToEditId'])){
$to_edit_id=$_POST['ToEditId'];
var_dump($to_edit_id);
}
but nothing happen in php file !!
Which is the expected behaviour.
PHP is not dynamic. It doesn't "update".
PHP only runs once. This means that once your page is rendered, you cannot use PHP to change it again. You actually would have to use javascript to change the page, like so;
PHP side:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['ToEditId'])){
echo $_POST['ToEditId'];
$to_edit_id=$_POST['ToEditId'];
var_dump($to_edit_id);
die(); // prevent entire page from re-rendering again.
}
JS side:
$(".button_class").on("click", function() {
ToEditId = $(this).attr('id');
console.log(ToEditId ); //to check clicked id is Ok
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: same/php/page/path,
data: {
ToEditId: ToEditId
},
success: function(res, data) {
//Add your PHP file's response to the body through javascript.
$('body').append(res);
},
error: function(err) {
alert(err);
}
});
});
As #IncredibleHat mentioned, you should make sure your page doesn't render any of its usual HTML, so it won't return the entire page back to your ajax call. So put the PHP all the way above your html!

Ajax fetch column text from a populated data table and use it in PHP

I have a datatable from which I want to take the text from a clicked cell and use it as a variable in PHP, so that I use that variable to query mysql. My codes so far as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#priority tbody').on('click', 'tr', function() {
var celldat = $(this).find('td:first').text(); //gets the text from the first column when a row is clicked.
$.ajax({
url: 'prioritize.php', //my url
method: "POST",
async: 'false',
data: {variable:celldat},
success: function(data) {
alert(celldat); //The alert is perfect. It returns the text from the first column.
window.location.reload(true);
}
})
});
});
</script>
In my PHP I am trying to echo the same value:
<?php
$selected=$_POST['variable'];
echo $selected;
?>
But it is not working. Essentially I want to use the $selected in mysql select query to populate another table.
in data: try to make it like this : "data: {variable:"+celldat"}"
Try to do this $_POST['data'] this will give you all data sent from the ajax request
Following the comments, you need to modify your jQuery
success: function(data){ alert(celldat); }
to
success: function(html){ alert(html); }
PHP side
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$selected = $_POST['variable'];
echo"$selected";
?>
You need to do something with the response, as, upon success, with the code you showed first, you just send the page to itself: update a div or table cell...
Ajax let you use the data sent back from PHP without refresh, why would you reload then ?
example of udating a div with PHP response:
success: function(html){ // 'html' is PHP response
$("#responsediv").html(''+html+''); // update a div with ID 'responsediv'
// as ID have to be unique, it makes sure you have the proper data in the correct div
},
error: function (request, status, error) { // handle error
alert(request.responseText);
}

Get div content with jQuery for PHP

UPDATE: Wow that was the fastest response ever and so many answers in minutes of each other. Amazing. Ok here is what I am trying to do. http://edvizenor.com/invoice33/
I want to edit this invoice on the fly but when I hit the BLUE BOX at the top I want to preview or see this content on the next page contained php var echoed out.
This blue box will change later to be a button at the bottom but for testing I am using it.
As you see it calls the ajax script but I need the edited content of the div to be sent a php var to I can echo it on the preview page. If I can put it in a php var I do what I will with it on the next page. Does that make sense? Thanks guys for your quick responses.
OLD POST
Is it possible to get the contents of a div using jQuery and then place them in a PHP var to send via GET OR POST?
I can get the contents of the div with jQuery like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#MyButton").click(function()
{
var htmlStr = $("#MyDiv").html();
});
});
</script>
But how do I put the jQuery var in a php var. I need to do this by a BUTTON press too. This is not included in the code above. I need because the div file is changeable and when I hit UPDATE and send via PHP it needs to have the latest content.
According to your situation,
You are trying to send JavaScript variable to PHP.
The only common way to do this is to exchange in JSON format,
for example, suppose we have basic text editor
Jquery:
$($document).ready(function(){
$("#submit-button").click(function(){
$.post('yourphpscript.php', {
//this will be PHP var: //this is JavaScript variable:
'text' : $("#some_text_area").text()
}, function(response){
//To avoid JS Fatal Error:
try {
var result = JSON.parse(response);
//get back from PHP
if ( result.success){ alert('successfully changed') }
} catch(e){
//response isn't JSON
}
});
});
});
PHP code
<?php
/**
*
* So we are processing that variable from JavaScript
*/
if ( isset($_POST['text']) ){
//do smth, like save to database
}
/**
* Well if you want to show "Success message"
* that div or textarea successfully changed
* you can send the result BACK to JavaScript via JSON
*/
$some_array = array();
$some_aray['success'] = true;
die( json_encode($some_array) );
You'll need to use ajax to send the value to your server.
var html = $('#myDiv').html();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/SomeUrl/MyResource.php',
data: JSON.stringify({ text: html }),
success: function(response)
{
alert('Ajax call successful!');
}
});
The thing you need is AJAX (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming))
The basic idea is to send a http request with javascript by e.g. calling a php script and wait for the response.
With plain Javascript AJAX requests are a bit unhandy, but since you are already using jQuery you can make use of this library. See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ for a complete overview.
The code on client side would be something like this:
$.ajax({
url:'http://example.com/script.php',
data:'var=' + $('#myDiv').html(),
type:'GET'
success:function(response) {
console.log(response) // Your response
},
error:function(error) {
console.log(error) // No successful request
}
});
In your script.php you could do something like this:
$var = $_GET['var'];
// Do some processing...
echo 'response';
and in your javascript console the string response would occur.
In modern ajax based applications the best practise way to send and receive data is through JSON.
So to handle bigger datasets in your requests and responses you do something like this:
$.ajax({
url:'http://example.com/script.php',
data:{
var:$('#myDiv').html()
},
type:'GET'
success:function(response) {
console.log(response) // Your response
},
error:function(error) {
console.log(error) // No successful request
}
});
And in your PHP code you can use the $someArray = json_decode($_GET['var']) to decode JSONs for PHP (it will return an associative array) and $jsonString = json_encode($someArray) to encode an array to a JSON string which you can return and handle as a regular JSON in your javascript.
I hope that helps you out.
You can use hidden form fields and use jQuery to set the value of the hidden field to that, so when the button is clicked and form submitted, your PHP can pick it up as if it were any other form element (using $_POST). Alternatively, you can use AJAX to make an asynchronous request to your PHP page. This is probably simpler. Here's an example:
$("#myButton").click(function() {
var htmlStr = $('#myDiv').html();
$.post("mypage.php", { inputHTML : htmlStr },
function(data) {
alert("Data returned from mypage.php: " + data);
});
}
Yes, Its possible
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#MyButton').click(function(){
$.post('sendinfo.php',
{
data: $('#data').html()
},
function(response){
alert('Successfully');
});
});
});
</script>
<div id="data">Here is some data</div>
Use ajax for sending value to php (server).. here's a good tutorial for ajax with jquery http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax.asp
you should just use Ajax to send your variable.
$.ajax({
url:'whateverUrl.php',
type:'GET',
data:{
html : htmlStr
}
});
Using AJAX:
$("#MyButton").click(function() {
var htmlStr = $("#MyDiv").html();
$.ajax({
url: "script.php",
type: "POST",
data: {htmlStr : htmlStr},
success: function(returnedData) {
//do something
}
});
});
Something like below should work.
Read more: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/
$("#YourButton").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var htmlStr = $("#YourDiv").html();
$.post(
url: 'YourPHP.php',
data: '{"htmlStr" : "'+htmlStr+'"}',
success: function(){
alert("Success!");
}
);
});
Send the data via XmlHttpRequest ("ajax") to your php page either via POST or GET.

My ajax/jquery script to send $_GET to php isn't working? (Wordpress)

This is the code that I'm using to send a variable (via GET) to another php file:
(basically, I click on a button, and then js gets the id and sends the id via ajax to the php file.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".doClick").click(function() {
var category=$(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url:'aFile.php',
type:'GET',
data: $category,
success: function(data){
alert("It worked?"); // this is the response
}
});
alert($(this).attr("id"));
});
});
This is the code in my aFile.php:
The php file gets the info via $_GET[] and then assigns it to a variable and uses that variable in a function call.
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
function JS() {
//code
});
</script>
</head>
<body onload="JS()">
<?php
$category = $_GET['category'];
if (function_exists('inventory_insert')) {
echo inventory_insert('{category_name = '.$category.'}');
} else echo('warning');
?>
It's supposed to give me a response back on my main page, but nothing seems to be happening. I don't even get the alert I posted after the ajax script.
your variable is category but you're sending data: $category
You must send key/value pair to server
to receive $_GET['category'] your data sent in ajax needs to be either:
data: 'category='+category
Or
data: {category: category}
You have assigned id into category in jquery. so correct in data params.
data: {category : category},
Send it in this way to server or php file.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".doClick").click(function() {
var category=$(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
url:'aFile.php',
type:'GET',
data: {category : category},
success: function(data){
alert("It worked?"); // this is the response
}
});
alert($(this).attr("id"));
});
});

Get only part of the message and reload only one div

this is an ajax method that inserts the data into a db and should supposedly display the new content.
<script type = "text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').live('click', function(eve) {
eve.preventDefault() ;
var form_data = {
title: $('#title').val()
};
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/ci/index.php/chat/comment",
type: 'POST',
data: form_data,
success: function(msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
});
});
</script>
However in my /chat/comment, i am loading the view again, i.e, user submits a comment, load the view again and the comment should be there. My response from server is the view's HTML. However the view comes with all the divs and there are many of them. I need to retrieve only part of the div, say, #commentspace from the ajax on success.
Look at the jQuery $.load() function?
Example
Inside "firstpage.html"
$('#content').load('secondpage.html #content');
