Passing sql string variable into javascript function - php

I am trying to pass a string from a query into a javascript function.
An integer will pass into the function but string will not.
echo "<a href='#' onclick='delete_game({$title});'
class='btn'>Delete</a>";
<script type='text/javascript'>
function delete_game(title){
var answer = confirm('Really?');
if(answer){
window.location = 'delete.php?id=' + title;
}
}
</script>
I expected the javascript function to be executed, but instead nothing happens.

Why don't you use ajax for this? As mentioned in comments mix PHP/JS isn't good.
In your HTML, you can do something like
I'm assuming that you are using Blade.
Delete Game
Then in your javascript, you do this using jQuery:
function deleteGame(title){
var answer = confirm('Really?');
if(answer){
$.ajax({
url : "your-php-file.php",
type : 'post',
data : {
title : title
}
})
.done(function(msg){
$("#result").html(msg);
})
.fail(function(error){
console.log(error);
});
}
}
In your PHP you process receiving the data from post $_POST
$title = $_POST['title'];
You can understand better the Ajax function of jQuery here.

A few things:
I would change window.location to window.location.href
Change your echo to:
echo "Delete";
Check if $title is set
var_dump($title);
If you'd like to make it a bit cleaner and are prepared to use jQuery:
Delete
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).on('click', '#delete', function () {
var title = $(this).data('title');
var answer = confirm('Really?');
if (answer){
window.location.href = 'delete.php?id=' + title;
}
});
</script>

pass a variable to a JavaScript function [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do I pass variables and data from PHP to JavaScript?
(19 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a button in my php page :
<button id="myButton">Delete me</button>
and in that page I have a variable which I want to pass to a JavaScript function, and this is my JS code :
<script>
$(function() {
$('#myButton').confirmOn('click', function(e, confirmed){
if(confirmed) {
//Here I'll use the variable
}
})
});
</script>
How can I do that ?
I think you might be wanting to put a variable through PHP on your button and pass it to your function using jQuery data. Check this out:
<button data-confirmed="<?php echo $confirmed; ?>" id="myButton">Delete me</button>
And in your js:
$(function() {
$('#myButton').on('click', function(e){
// get jquery object access to the button
var $thisButton = $(this);
// this gets that data directly from the HTML
var confirmed = $thisButton.data('confirmed');
if(confirmed) {
//Here I'll use the variable
}
})
});
Basically, you can access variables in javascript using this method if you are interpolating PHP vars directly on the page. If this isn't what you are looking for, please let me know in comments.
<button id="myButton">Delete me</button>
<input type="hidden" name="variable" id="variable" value=2>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#myButton').confirmOn('click', function(e, confirmed){
if(confirmed) {=
alert(document.getElementById('variable').value);
//Here I'll use the variable
}
})
});
You can declare the variable outside the click event like so:
$(function() {
var confirmed = true;
$('#MyButton').confirmOn('click', function() {
if(confirmed) {
// do stuff
}
});
});
Assuming you're talking about passing php variables to Javascript, you can do this when writing to the page, ex:
<?php
$passThis = 'Passing'
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var sStr = "My name is <?php echo $passThis ?>.";
document.write(sStr);
</script>
You could also get integer values, doing something like
$integerValue = 5;
var int = "<?php echo $integerValue; ?>";
int = parseInt(int);
By modifying this, you could use it to pass more types of variables, so assuming you have something like this:
<?php
$text = 'someText';
?>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#myButton').confirmOn('click', function(e, confirmed){
if(confirmed) {
//Here I'll use the variable
}
})
});
</script>
you could do
<script>
$(function() {
$('#myButton').confirmOn('click', function(e, confirmed){
if(confirmed) {
console.log("<?php echo $text ?>");
}
})
});
</script>
to make Javascript alert 'someText'.

php : how to pass database value into a javascript/jquery function

I am implementing tags feature in my project.
In my demo tags i found they are passing names in a javascript function for the autocomple.
This is a function in my demo project,
<script>
$(function()
{
var sampleTags = ['c++', 'scala', 'groovy', 'haskell', 'perl', 'erlang', 'apl', 'cobol', 'go', 'lua'];
..................
.................
So , i want pass values from my php controller to this function ,inorder to get the autocomplete value from my database table
For example i am getting tags values from my db in my Controller like this:
` $data["query"] = $this->ordermodel->fetch_orderlist();`
$this->load->view('tagpage', $data); //loading my page tag page where above function exists
Now how can i pass that $data["query"] values into the above javascript function?
Please help
You could echo the variable onto the page using PHP's json_encode. This function will convert a PHP array or object into a JSON object, which JavaScript can work with:
<script>
$(function() {
var sampleTags = <?php echo json_encode($query); ?>;
})();
</script>
But a better way would be to request these values via Ajax. Say you have a PHP script named values.php:
<?php
#...
#assign $query here
#...
echo json_encode($query);
Then, in JavaScript (on the page where you want to use the sampleTags variable), you can use jQuery's .ajax function to make an easy Ajax request:
<script>
var sampleTags;
$.ajax({
url: 'values.php'
}).done(function(data) {
if (data) {
sampleTags = data;
}
});
</script>
I haven't tested this example. Obviously you'll want to tweak it to fit your environment.
You will have to write an ajax function for this
$.ajax(
url : "<?php echo site_url('controller/method')?>",
type : 'POST',
data : 'para=1',
success : function(data)
{
if(data){
var sampleTags = data;
}
}
);
Just echo your php variable
$(function()
{
var sampleTags = '<?php echo $data["query"]; ?>'

passing variables from php to javascript
I'm dynamically generating a list. I want to make each row hover on mouseover and clickable to a link. I want the link to pass the id of the content of the row.
Basically:
foreach ($courses as $cid=>cinfo){
$univ = $cinfo['univ'];
$desc = $cinfo['desc'];
$size = $cinfo['size'];
$start = $cinfo['start'];
print "<div class='rc_desc' id='rc_desc$cid'>"."$desc<br/>"."<b>$univ</b><br/>".
"<span>Number of students</span>: $size<br/>".
"<span>Started at</span>: ".date('F d, Y',strtotime($start))."<br/>".
}
<script>
$(function ()
{
$('#rc_desc$cid').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc$cid').click(function ()
{
$(location).attr('href','student.php?$cid');
});
});
</script>
The issue is in the js/jquery. I want to be able to grab the $cid and pass it to the student.php page upon click. The php code above works but the js won't of course. I know the fundamental of client-side vs server-side languages. This question doesn't warrant a lecture. I know I cannot do this exactly, but it is what I want to happen ultimately. Any thoughts on how I can achieve this simply? Thanks in advance my friends!
Yes, if you include the <script> section in your PHP code, you can do something similar to the following:
<script>
var foo = <?php echo $foo; ?>;
</script>
In your case, you would be looking into the following code structure:
<script>
$(function () {
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid ?>').hover(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid ?>').click(function () {
$(location).attr('href', 'student.php?<?php echo $cid ?>');
});
});
</script>
The reason why this is possible is because although the Javascript is run on the client-side, it's processed on the server-side first prior to being presented on the page. Thus, it'll replace all necessary instances of $cid with the one you have included.
Enjoy and good luck!
EDIT:
<script>
$(function () {
$('.rc_desc').hover(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('.tr ');
});
$('.rc_desc').click(function () {
$(location).attr('href', 'student.php?' + $(this).attr('id').split('rc_desc')[1]);
});
});
</script>
You can do it like this :
$(location).attr('href','<?php echo $cid ?>');
The javascript code doesn't know it comes from php, it appears as a constant (a literal) for it.
Yes it is possible. All you have to do is put your <?PHP echo $cid; ?> in where you need it
<script>
$(function ()
{
$('#rc_desc<?PHP echo $cid; ?>').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc$cid').click(function ()
{
$(location).attr('href','student.php?<?PHP echo $cid; ?>');
});
});
This is possible because by the time the scrip is put into the page the cid has already been replaced by the string on the server. Since PHP is server driven, before it spits back the html/script it will be just like you put it in yourself.
There is almost no way to actually communicate PHP and JavaScript. However, the best and simplest way is to set the ID within an attribute. The new HTML5 data attributes would be perfect.
For example, have a anchor tag with
<span data-id="22">some event</a>
and then:
$(this).attr('href','student.php?'+$(this).attr('data-id'));
Or just use
<?php echo $id; ?>
if it is not external JS file
Try this code
foreach ($courses as $cid=>cinfo){
$univ = $cinfo['univ'];
$desc = $cinfo['desc'];
$size = $cinfo['size'];
$start = $cinfo['start'];
print "<div class='rc_desc' data-id='$cid' id='rc_desc$cid'>"."$desc<br/>"."<b>$univ</b><br/>".
"<span>Number of students</span>: $size<br/>".
"<span>Started at</span>: ".date('F d, Y',strtotime($start))."<br/>".
}
<script>
$(function ()
{
$('#rc_desc$cid').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('.rc_desc').click(function ()
{
$(location).attr('href','student.php?' + $(this).attr("data-id"));
// if you want to redirect the page do this
// window.location.href = 'student.php?' + $(this).attr("data-id");
});
});
</script>
I think you block should be :
<script>
$(function ()
{
<?php foreach($courses as $cid=>cinfo) : ?>
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid; ?>').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid; ?>').click(function ()
{
$(location).attr('href','student.php?<?php echo $cid; ?>');
});
";?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
});
</script>
UPDATE
But you don't really need to do this, you have
"<div class='rc_desc' data-id='$cid' id='rc_desc$cid'>"."$desc<br/>"."<b>$univ</b><br/>".
"<span>Number of students</span>: $size<br/>".
"<span>Started at</span>: ".date('F d, Y',strtotime($start))."<br/>".
You can try this
$(function (){
$('.rc_desc').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('.rc_desc').click(function ()
{
attrId = $(this).attr("data-id");
$(location).attr('href','student.php?'+id);
});
});

JQuery Updating Status

I am writing some jquery to call an ajax script every 2 seconds to get the result and update the page. I am mostly a backend programmer and could use some help on this.
This is the code I have now:
<script language="javascript">
function downloadProgress(id) {
$("#" + id + "").load("index.php?_controller=download&_action=getDownloadProgressAjax",
{
downloadId: id
}
);
setTimeout(downloadProgress(id), 2000);
}
</script>
<?php
foreach ($downloads as $dl) {
?>
<div id="<?php echo $dl["download_id"]; ?>">
<script language="javascript">
downloadProgress(<?php echo $dl["download_id"]; ?>);
</script>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
This does not work. What am I doing wrong or would you suggest another approach?
Thanks
I think that you are confusing your PHP script by giving it both query string variables (sent as GET) and data (which is probably getting sent as POST). Try this:
$("#" + id).load("index.php?_controller=download&_action=getDownloadProgressAjax&downloadId="+id }
since you are using jquery, you can use the $.ajax function when the page is ready.
$(function () {
function function downloadProgress(id) {
$.ajax({
url: "index.php?_controller=download&_action=getDownloadProgressAjax&downloadId="+id
})
setTimeout(function () {
if (downloadnotcomplete){ // this way your script stops at some pont.
downloadProgress(id);
}
},2000);
}
});
You will attach the downloadProgress(id) function to your download button or anything else, to trigger the function the first time.
The problem you are having is that you have to provide a parameterless function and not a function call to setTimeout. Also, I would do it a little bit different and use setInterval instead of setTimeout as it relays your intention better in the code. Here is how I would do it:
<script language="javascript">
$(function() {
setInterval(downloadHandler, 2000);
});
function downloadHandler() {
// I'm not sure where the id is coming from you will probably need to put a
// class on your div's so that you can select them.
$(".MyDivClass").each(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
downloadProgress(id);
});
}
function downloadProgress(id) {
$("#" + id + "").load(
"index.php?_controller=download&_action=getDownloadProgressAjax",
{ downloadId: id }
);
</script>
and then on your div:
<?php
foreach ($downloads as $dl) {
?>
<div id="<?php echo $dl["download_id"]; ?>" class="MyDivClass"/>
<?php
}
?>
Hope this helps.

How do I send and receive vars with jquery and AJAX?

so lets say this is my jquery portion of the code:
$.ajaxSetup ({
cache: false
});
load() functions
var loadUrl = "load.php";
$("#load_basic").click(function(){
$("#result").load(loadUrl + "?language=php&version=5");
});
});
and this is "load.php"
<?php $_GET['language'] .= "cool"; $_GET['version']+=2; ?>
How do I return the processed language and version vars back to my #result div?
Sorry if I'm doing this wrong. Pretty comfortable in php and jquery, but ajax sort of confuses me and I haven't found any tutorials that really clicked.
I know I can echo these vars out, and that will return the contents of load.php into my div.. but that seems clunky, and I doubt that's the way people actually do it..
JQuery
$("#load_basic").click(function(){
$.get(loadUrl + "?language=php&version=5", function(data){
var obj = eval(data)
$("#result").html(obj.language + " " + obj.version)
});
});
PHP
<?php $_GET['language'] .= "cool"; $_GET['version']+=2;
echo "{\"language\" : \"".$_GET['language']."\",\"version\" : \"".$_GET['version']."\"" ?>
not tested and not bullet-proof, but the concept is here. Return somthing in your PHP that you can read back (i choose JSON)
" What If I'm echoing out two or three vars in php, and I want them to be seperated and echoed out to different divs.. "
I'm ASP and not PHP but I think the prinicple is the same.
I have this is my requesting page:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#list").change(onSelectChange);
});
function onSelectChange(){
var selected = $("#list option:selected").val();
var bob = $("#list option:selected").text();
if (selected.length > 0) {
$.post("twopart.asp", { thing: selected, bob: bob }, function(data) {
var dataraw= data;
var dataarray = (dataraw).split("~~~");
var outone= dataarray["0"];
var outtwo= dataarray["1"];
var outthree= dataarray["2"];
$("#output1").html(outone);
$("#output2").html(outtwo);
$("#output3").html(outthree);
});
}
}
</script>
and this is in my processing page:
response.write bunch of stuff and ~~~
response.write bunch of stuff and ~~~
response.write more stuff
Sorry is the formatting is off- still learning how to do it.
Anyway, the "echoing page" echos its content with the three tildes stuck in there. Then I parse the return on the tildes and write different places.
Hope this is helpful.
The JSON answer by Grooveek is probably better.
try
$.ajax({
url:YOUR_URL,
dataType:'json',
type:'POST',
data:'&var1=value1&var2=value2',
beforeSend:function(){
//
},
success:function(response){
//complete
$('#container').html(response.result + ' ' + response.other);
}
});
in your php
$var1 = $_POST['var1'];
//your proccess
$result = array(
'result' => 'ok',
'other' => 'value'
);
echo json_encode($result);
