I'm trying to get a list of the "states" after I select the "country".
The list of countries appear correctly, but when I select the country the states don't actually show up in dropdown selection form.
I'm using ajax to send the data to ajaxData.php from index.php, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is index.php
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#country').on('change',function(){
var countryID = $(this).val();
if(countryID){
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'ajaxData.php',
data:'marka_id='+countryID,
success:function(html){
$('#state').html(html);
$('#city').html('<option value="">Select state first</option>');
}
});
}else{
$('#state').html('<option value="">Select country first</option>');
$('#city').html('<option value="">Select state first</option>');
}
});
$('#state').on('change',function(){
var stateID = $(this).val();
if(stateID){
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'ajaxData.php',
data:'modeli_id='+stateID,
success:function(html){
$('#state').html(html);
}
});
}else{
'');
}
});
});
</script>
<?php
//Include database configuration file
include('dbConfig.php');
//Get all country data
$query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM marka WHERE `status` = 1 ORDER BY marka_name ASC");
//Count total number of rows
$rowCount = $query->num_rows;
?>
<select name="country" id="country">
<option value="">SelectMarken </option>
<?php
if($rowCount > 0){
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<option value="'.$row['marka_id'].'">'.$row['marka_name'].'</option>';
}
}else{
echo '<option value="">Country doesnt exist</option>';
}
?>
</select>
<select name="state" id="state">
<option value="">Select state</option>
</select>
and this is : ajaxData.php
<?php
//Include database configuration file
include('dbConfig.php');
if(isset($_POST["marka_id"]) && !empty($_POST["marka_id"])){
//Get all state data
$query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM modeli WHERE `marka_id` = ".$_POST['marka_id']." AND `status` = 1 ORDER BY modeli_name ASC");
//Count total number of rows
$rowCount = $query->num_rows;
//Display states list
if($rowCount > 0){
echo '<option value="">Select modelin</option>';
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<option value="'.$row['modeli_id'].'">'.$row['modeli_name'].'</option>';
}
}else{
echo '<option value="">Modeli doesnt exist</option>';
}
}
?>
[UPDATED CODE] I forgot to post it immediately, so now this is what I have and it works.

if($rowCount > 0){
$optionHTML = '<option value="">Select modelin</option>';
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){

The mistake was at the #state function, I had another part of code which was waiting data for cities once the state was selected.
So I had to make 'else' turn nothing for it to work.
Thanks guys.

I am trying to get a country, state, city dependent selection boxes to work(once country is picked then state will populate with the related states then state is picked etc...) but I think there is something wrong with my jquery or ajax because my state box won't populate.
If you could help find where the code goes wrong I would appreciate it. Also I would like to know how the ajax posts back to the shippingaddress.php page.(is it in the success callback?) Do the select boxes need to be contained in a form or will they post with out it?
Thank you in advance for any help!

My code based on a snippet from codexworld.com
but I have a single database (coin_database) with following columns:
id|coin_name|coin_country|value
1 |MapleLeaf|Canada |5dollars
2 |Panda |China |10yuan
I would like to build 3 stage form where firstly you chose Country, than type of coins only from this country and after that available value (1oz, 5 dollars etc.).
I have 2 files:

It works well with not dynamic values (Canada, MapleLeaf) but I get an error when I try to put there variable.
I have a PHP code that retrieve data from MYSQL database and includes these retrieved data into a dropdown list where 2 dropdown list exist, the user select from the first one and based on his selection the second one will display the related data.
tbl_country:
country_id
country_name
tbl_state:
state_id
state_name
country_id
can anyone tell me where the error in the code?
code 1:
<?php
function load_country(){
$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost","****","***","test");
$output = '';
$sql = "select * from tbl_country";
$result = mysqli_query($connect,$sql);
// var_dump($result);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$output.='<option value="'.$row["country_id"].'">'.$row["country_name"].'</option>';
}
return $output;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>dropdown test</title>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#country').change(function(){
var country_id = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url:"dropdown_fetch.php",
method:"POST",
data:{countryId:country_id},
datatype:"text",
success:function(data){
$('#state').html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>select owner
<select name="country" id="country">

<?php echo load_country(); ?>
</select></p>
<p>select state
<select name="state" id="state">
<option value="">Select state</option>
</select></p>
</body>
</html>
code 2:
<?php
$connect= mysqli_connect("localhost","****","****","test");
$output = '';
$sql = "select * from state where country_id = '".$_POST["countryId"]."' ORDER BY country_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connect,$sql);
//var_dump($_POST["ownerID"]);
$output='<option value="">Select state</option>';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result) {
$output.='<option value="'.$row["state_id"].'">'.$row["state_name"].'</option>';
}
echo $output;
?>
Here is a syntax error in your while loop.
Fix the line in code 2:
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)
to
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
I want to add part search into a website powered by WordPress. I have currently achieved the function, but I have trouble of integrating it into WordPress. I tried several ways but the dynamic dependent select box still not working.
I followed this tutorial: Dynamic Dependent Select Box using jQuery, Ajax and PHP

The proper way to do this, is to create a wordpress shortcode and then use that shortcode wherever you want, page or post, but if you want to create something more specific, then you should create a small wordpress plugin. I won't get into this, but it’s really not a big deal to create a simple wordpress plugin having such functionality. I’ll go through the steps on how you can have this working in wordpress with the files and the code you already have.
I assume you already have the tables of your example created. My tables are like this:
wp_citytours_dynsel_cities
wp_citytours_dynsel_states
wp_citytours_dynsel_countries
I have imported some data and I have all those tables filled with proper data. I can provide some sql files if you like, but I assume you already have your tables filled with the proper data for each table.
My test theme root directory is:
/wp-content/themes/citytours/
I have created the directory under my theme root directory and I have included all the code files there, so we have 3 files:
/wp-content/themes/citytours/dynsel/index-partial.php

As you can see, the index-partial.php now contains only needed code, without <body>, <head> and script files included. Wordpress already includes jQuery to the application for most themes, but you should always check that.
Now, you can add the functionality wherever you want, even at the theme index.php file, but always with caution. I have used theme's single post template file, which is single-post.php. I have included the example code, under the main post body inside a div. I just include the index-partial.php like this:
<div class="<?php echo esc_attr( $content_class ); ?>">
<div class="box_style_1">
...
</div><!-- end box_style_1 -->
<div class="box_style_1">
<?php include(__DIR__.'/dynsel/index-partial.php'); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- End col-md-9-->
I also have used the wordpress home_url function, to have a proper url rooted for the ajaxData.php file like this:
url:'<?php echo home_url('wp-content/themes/citytours/dynsel/ajaxData.php') ?>'
Now, if you have followed all these steps, then you should have your code example working at under each post. You can now included it wherever you want by using that line of code <?php include(__DIR__.'/dynsel/index-partial.php'); ?>.
Please let me know if that worked for you.
I have 2 select options, Make and Model.. I have data in my DB with a bunch of different vehicles and would like the model field to update based on the make selection..
** UPDATED QUESTION WITH EXTERNAL PHP FILE FOR AJAX CALL **
So I made this change, I have dataAJax.php -
if(isset($_POST["make"]) && !empty($_POST["make"])){
$query = $db->query("SELECT DISTINCT Make, Model FROM inv WHERE Make = ".$_POST['Make']."");
$rowCount = $query->num_rows;
if($rowCount > 0){
echo '<option value="">Select model</option>';
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<option value="'.$row['Model'].'">'.$row['Model'].'</option>';
}
}else{
echo '<option value="">Model not available</option>';
}
}
Index.php -
$query = $conn->query("SELECT DISTINCT Make FROM inv");
$rowCount = $query->num_rows;
?>
<select name="make" id="make">
<option value="">Select Make</option>
<?php
if($rowCount > 0){
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<option value="'.$row['Make'].'">'.$row['Make'].'</option>';
}
}
?>
</select>
<select name="model" id="model">
<option value="">Select Make first</option>
</select>
And here is my ajax call -
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#make').on('change',function(){
var make = $(this).val();
if(make){
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'dataAjax.php',
data:'make='+make,
success:function(html){
$('#model').html(html);
}
});
}else{
$('#make').html('<option value="">Select Model First</option>');
}
});
});
The problem I have is it doesn't populate the model field it just gets the else statement " Model Not Available"
I figured out my problem it was with my sql query in dataAjax.php -
$make = $_POST['make'];
$query = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM inv WHERE Make = '$make'");
$rowCount = $query->num_rows;
if($rowCount > 0){
echo '<option value="">Select model</option>';
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<option value="'.$row['Model'].'">'.$row['Model'].'</option>';
}
}else{
echo '<option value="">Model not available</option>';
}
