How pass angularjs array value into php function as a variable? - php

Question

I have the code which return json response but I don't know how pass the that value in php function.
Code:
<div class="container" ng-controller="askbyctrl" >
<div class="row" ng-repeat="q in qa.data" >
<div class="col-md-12 col-xs-12 col.sm.12" >
<div class="artist-data pull-left" style = "background-color:#BEB7B7;">
<div class="artst-pic pull-left">
<?php
function cache_image($id){
//replace with cache directory
$image_path = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\QA_UI\images';
$image_url = 'http://localhost:8000/api/image/' + id;
//get the name of the file
$exploded_image_url = explode("/",$image_url);
$image_filename = 'id.jpg';
$exploded_image_filename = explode(".",$image_filename);
$extension = end($exploded_image_filename);
//make sure its an image
if($extension=="jpg") {
//get the remote image
$image_to_fetch = file_get_contents($image_url);
if($image_to_fetch == '{"error":true,"details":"No image."}') {
echo 'file not found';
} else {
//save it
$local_image_file = fopen($image_path.'/'.$image_filename, 'w+');
chmod($image_path.'/'.$image_filename,0755);
fwrite($local_image_file, $image_to_fetch);
fclose($local_image_file);
echo 'copied';
}
}
//}
?>
<img ng-src="images/{{q.userID}}.jpg" alt="" class="img-responsive" />
</div>
Please see the code how can I pass the {{q.userID}} in php function..

You can't do it that way. PHP code is running on server side and angular-code in client-side, in browser. That is, when server returns compiled html to browser it has already done all php-code in that file.
If you want to check if image exists and then cache it, you can do it from angular for example with $http. Call with $http your backend-script, which does what you want, and then returns if it was success or not.
