Cannot pass bootstrap table cell data to php? - php

Question

I'm developing a web based inventory system. In my project i have a user management page and it has a table to view all the users.
+----------------------------------------+
+ username + user type + + +
+----------+-----------+--------+--------+
+ sample + sample + edit + delete +
+----------+-----------+--------+--------+
+ sample + sample + edit + delete +
+----------+-----------+--------+--------+
+ sample + sample + edit + delete +
+----------+-----------+--------+--------+
It has two buttons to edit user type and to delete user from the database. i need to get username from this table to php script, to execute delete query. I tried this,
$(document).on('click','.remove' ,function(){
var $item = $(this).closest("tr").find('td:eq(0)').html();
console.log($item);
<?php $username = <script>$item</script>?>
});
but i can't pass this 'username' variable to php. How to do this? Thank you :-)

Answer 1

To achieve this you need to perform an ajax request like this:
$(document).on('click','.remove' ,function(){
var $item = $(this).closest("tr").find('td:eq(0)').html();
$.post("url/file.php", { // your php file
username: $item
}, function(data, status){
// you will get response from your php page (what you echo or print)
});
});
PHP side:
$username = $_POST['username'];
//Do whatever you want ...
echo "success";

Answer 2

You can do it by Ajax, this is suggested for your code:
$.ajax({
url: "data.php",//file wich has query select to db table
data: {id:theid},//describe your data here
dataType: 'json',// type of data that will you get (JSON/HTML).
type: 'POST',//sending type (POST/GET)
success: function(data) {
//do change the select option
}
});
Goodluck!
