I saw a form to load data from database, i decode all form ajax code but when i see a new thing inside the form. i don't know what it's mean. Please My Image for more details.
The code something look like that.
$.ajax({
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
url: "/user/setting/template-action",
data: {
_act: "load",
_tname: tempname,
_json : $.now() //Here i don't know what is the use of $.now() and how post and verify same value into my php code HOW...!
}
});
$.now() how to verify same value into php code
Image is here
as per Jquery's documentation $.now is a integer containing the unix timestamp.
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.now/
in php this value is represent with time();

I am using codeigniter. When I update database values using website UI, it gets updated in database but on user interface it shows old values only. After refreshing page it shows updated values.
Please suggest solution on the same.
Thanks.
You need to use AJAX. Something like this:
data = {"slug" : slug};
$.ajax({
url: '', //url of controller where you would update the code using model
method: 'POST', //method
data: data, //data to be updated
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'json'
})
.done(function(res){ //Upadte html; Note the data in 'res' variable is the data which your above 'url' would echo
})
.fail(function(res){//handle here if error occured
});
Hope this is a good starting point for you to learn AJAX. I would have helped you more if you provide us with some code.
When I send serialised data to a PHP file using ajax, it is sometimes URL Encoded depending on how i do it.
Originally i had the following code which worked fine:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'ajax-process.php',
data: $("#sitestructure-form").serialize(),
success: function(d){$("#structureupdate").html(d);}
});
The data was sent to my PHP file and i could echo it and it looked like this.
[{"id":20,"children":[{"id":21}]},{"id":19},{"id":18,"children":[{"id":14}]},{"id":16},{"id":13,"children":[{"id":11}]},{"id":17},{"id":15},{"id":12}]
I wanted to send more than one piece of data, I called the serialized data 'order' and added 'process' to it so i updated my code to the following:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'ajax-process.php',
data: {
order: $("#sitestructure-form").serialize(),
process: "sitemap-reordernavigation"
},
success: function(d){$("#structureupdate").html(d);}
});
However when I retrieve the serialised data sent in 'order' the output looks like this:
data=%5B%7B%22id%22%3A20%2C%22children%22%3A%5B%7B%22id%22%3A21%7D%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A19%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A18%2C%22children%22%3A%5B%7B%22id%22%3A14%7D%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A16%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A13%2C%22children%22%3A%5B%7B%22id%22%3A11%7D%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A17%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A15%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A12%7D%5D
The only way i can think of to fix this problem is to use php to urldecode it and then use str_replace to remove the 'data=' bit at the front, like so.
$data = str_replace("data=","",urldecode($_POST['order']));
How can I get this to work with AJAX though so i dont have to urldecode it?
Ive tried using a variable and setting the processData to false however that didn't seem to work.
var order = $("#sitestructure-form").serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'ajax-process.php',
processData: false,
data: {
order: order,
process: "sitemap-reordernavigation"
},
success: function(d){$("#structureupdate").html(d);}
});
My knowledge of AJAX/Jquery is rather limited so any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's because you are feeding a serialized text string to the data attribute the first time around and jQuery does not convert it to a serialized string. The second you are assigning an object to the data attribute with the "order" attribute having the serialized text string, so jQuery basically double encodes it. For it to act as you'd like you would have to convert the form to an object and assign your "order" attribute to that object. See this post: Convert form data to JavaScript object with jQuery
// taking the example from the above link, you do this instead
order = $("#sitestructure-form"). serializeObject();
Fixed by doing the following:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'ajax-process.php?',
data: $("#sitestructure-form").serialize() + "&action=sitemap-reordernavigation",
success: function(d){$("#structureupdate").html(d);}
});
What is the best way to transfer the following outputted value into a php variable?
$(document).getUrlParam("id");
Through an ajax post.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: data,
success: success,
dataType: dataType
});
You should use JSON format to send and receive data from javascript to PHP. For example
function sendData(){
//with jquery, you can use `.post()`, `.get()` or for more control `.ajax()`
$.post(
//URL to send the data
url,
//data being sent, transformed to JSON
{dataSent: JSON.stringify(clientSideData)},
//Do something after sendind the data to server
function(dataReceived){
//transform data from json format to javascript object
var dataLog = jQuery.parseJSON(dataReceived);
//Do stuff
}
)
}
PHP:
//Receive data from POST
var phpVar = json_decode($_POST['dataSent'])
//send data back to javascript
echo json_encode(phpVar)
While all of these answers will get the value from javascript into the PHP script, I'd wonder if you need javascript at all.
From what I can see from a brief google the getUrlParam plugin is useful for getting and then breaking down the URL. Have you had a look at the variables available through $_SERVER? I'm sure you'd be able to find something suitable in there.
Is it possible to refer an AJAX POST to a specific function within a PHP file?
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "functions.php", //somehow specify function?
data: "some data...",
success: function(){
alert('Success!');
}
});
Or is there a way to have functions.php receive data and know what to do with it? If not, are there any other suggestions for getting data over to mySQL (using PHP/jQuery)? Thanks!
The data sent to the php file using POST can be accessed in php using:
$datasent = $_POST['name'];
Given that you sent data as:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "functions.php", //somehow specify function?
data: {name:"Jesse"}, //data goes here
success: function(){
alert('Success!');
}
});
Not directly. You'd need to post certain data, and have PHP check the POST variables to choose the correct function.
Perhaps have a look at some tutorials (unfotunately the jQuery links for php tutorials are broken).
Is it possible to refer an AJAX POST to a specific function within a PHP file?
No. jQuery doesn't know what PHP is, even less what a PHP function is. jQuery talks to server side urls. Whether those urls are static html files, PHP scripts, Java servlets, Python I don't know what, CGI scripts, is not really important.
So you could use the data setting to pass parameters to this server side url which based on the values of those parameters could invoke one or another function.
If you want to call a specific function, change ur jquery:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "functions.php", //somehow specify function?
data: {function:"doSomething",name:"Jesse"}, //data goes here
success: function(){
alert('Success!');
}
});
In your php add:
call_user_func($_POST['function']); // This will call what ever function name is passed as parameter
function doSomething(){
echo $_POST['name'];
}
i am new to php and mysql.
How can i extract a VALUE from a JAVASCRIPT VARIABLE(i set) then send it to a PHP page that can read it and process it , the PHP will then insert the value into a table in MySQL database.
var A = "somevalue"
I have been researching but none of it give me a simple and direct answer . I saw some people uses JSON(which i am unfamiliar with) to do this.
Hopes someone can give me an example of the javascript/jquery , php code to this. Thanks!
You've asked for... a lot. But, this tutorial looks like it could help you.
(FYI -- I swapped out the original tutorial for one on ibm.com. It's better but far more wordy. The original tutorial can be found here)
I'm not pretty sure if it works but just try this. Your jQuery script shoul be like this:
$(function(){
var hello = "HELLO";
$.post(
"posthere.php",
{varhello: hello},
function(response){ alert(response); }
)
});
and "posthere.php" is like this:
$varhello = $_POST['varhello'];
echo $varhello . ' is posted!';
you should then get an alert box saying "HELLO is posted!"
What you need is Ajax. This is an example jQuery to use:
function sendData(data) {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: data,
url: "/some/url/which/gets/posts",
success: function(data) {
}
});
}
This will send post data to that url, in which you can use PHP to handle post data. Just like in forms.
If you have a form:
<form id="theformid">
<input type="text">
</form>
Then you can use jQuery to send the form submit data to that sendData function which then forwards it to the other page to handle. The return false stops the real form from submitting:
$("#theformid").submit(function(){
sendData($(this).serializeArray());
return false;
});
If you though want to send just a variable, you need to do it like this:
function sendData(data) {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: {somekey: data},
url: "/some/url/which/gets/posts",
success: function(data) {
}
});
}
Then when you are reading $_POST variable in PHP, you can read that data from $_POST['somekey'].
Inside the success callback function you can do something with the data that the page returns. The whole data that the page returns is in the data variable for you to use. You can use this for example to check whether the ajax call was valid or not or if you need to something specific with that return data then you can do that aswell.
