jQuery ajax request same page PHP doesnt execute - php

I am trying to send a variable in a request to the same page and then check if the variable is set.
$.ajax({
url: "index.php",
type: "POST",
data: {idss:idss},
success: function(data){
console.log("hello");
}
});
if(isset($_POST['idss'])){
echo "Set";
}
However, when this runs I only see "hello" in the console and yet I dont see the output of 'echo' on the page.
Am I doing something wrong?

$.ajax({
url: "index.php",
type: "POST",
data: {idss:idss},
success: function(data){
console.log("hello");
$('#here').html(data['whatever_you_returned']);
}
});
<div id="here"></div>

The POST data is being sent to the page in your ajax request, not your current page.
index.php would have that POST data set.

Ajax submit not working

I'll make it easy, I want to submit data without using a form, etc, etc, etc...
I have this code:
HTML
<span class="categ-edit">Edit</span>
<span class="categ-add">Add</span>
<span class="categ-delete">Delete</span>
JQUERY
$('.categ-edit').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'categoryactions.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {action: 'edit'},
});
window.location.href = "categoryactions.php";
});
$('.categ-add').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'categoryactions.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {action: 'add'},
});
window.location.href = "categoryactions.php";
});
$('.categ-delete').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'categoryactions.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {action: 'delete'},
});
window.location.href = "categoryactions.php";
});
And in categoryactions.php I have this:
PHP
<?php
$action = $_POST['action'];
echo $action;
?>
But when it redirects me to categoryactions.php I get nothing. I'm not sure if that's the way to submit data with AJAX but at least I tried. If someone knows how to fix this, I'll be grateful!
You click handler is making two separate requests. First, you are sending a request with AJAX, then you are going to the page. When you look at the page, you won't see the result because the result was given to the AJAX request.
The point of AJAX is to avoid changing the page.
Try this:
$('.categ-edit').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'categoryactions.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {action: 'edit'},
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
You are actually calling "categoryactions.php" twice. First as an asynchronous call (ajax) and the second time as a redirect: window.location.href = "categoryactions.php";
In the 2nd call, nothing is being posted so your output is empty. This line does not serve any purpose - you should remove it.
The ajax call happens in the background so you won't see the output from the echo in the browser. if you really want to verify it is working, replace the echo with a file call to write it to a file. Then check the file contents.
Using redirection with Ajax doesn't make sense. You need to use the success method.
$('.categ-delete').click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'categoryactions.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {action: 'delete'},
success: function(data){
alert(data);
//or, put response in a div
$('#someDivId').html(data);
}
});
});
The point of Ajax is to retrieve the response from a request to another page without changing the URL in the address bar. It retrieves the response for you in the variable that is the input to your success method, and then you do something with that.
Example AJAX with PHP
I can't exactly answer your question, but I will help you understand ajax requests to http server and how to handle responses accordingly.
Sample jQuery
$('.categ-edit').click(function() {
$.get('/path/to/file.php', function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
});
Sample file.php
<?php
echo json_encode('HELLO');

Get Ajax URL from PHP script

I know this has been asked before, but I can't get it working.
I'm loading a file on a page whose path and name are a variable contained in a PHP script.
My script.php is outputing a variable $filename which contains the path to a file that has to be open in an ajax request.
So, the file can be for example:
'../path/to/file/filea.json' or
'../another/path/fileb.json'
I tried this in my jQuery:
$.ajax({
url:'script.php',
success:$.ajax({
url: ??? // This ($filename) is what I'm trying to get from the 1st Ajax call
sucess: function(data){
//other code here
}
})
);
I know $filename is wrong in the second Ajax call but how do I get the value of that variable?
$.ajax({
url: "script.php",
success: function(data){
$.ajax({
var someParam=data; //response Data from 1st Ajax Call
type: "post",
url: "example.php",
data: 'page='+someParam,
success: function(data){
//Do More Here!
});
});
Try this:
inside script.php
echo json_encode($filename); //somewhere you need to have this echo.
jQuery
$.ajax({
url: 'script.php',
success: function (data) {
alert(data); //or console.log() and doublecheck you have the right info
$.ajax({
url: JSON.parse(data),
success : function (data) {
//other code here
}
})
}
}); // added a extra } to close the ajax
This solved the problem:
$.ajax({
async:false,
url: 'script.php',
success: function(data){
$.ajax({
url: data,
success: //code here
})
})
#Sergio: script.php wasn't echoeing the output of $filename... Thanks for reminding!

Display the result after it submit through Ajax

When submitted the results from my form and insert the values in sql after that i want message to display without refresh the page. Or probably refresh automated without user hit refresh.
on succes part you can display result.
$.ajax({
url: "file.php",
data: "a=" + id,
type: "POST",
success: function(data) {
$("#anyid").html(data);
}
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'form.php',
// your data - this gets id="title" and put it on $_POST['val1']
data: {val1:$('#title').val()},
// .done sends returned data to div id="bs"; you can use .append instead of .html for overwriting the data.
}).done(function(data){
$('#bs').html(data);
})
});
}
);
you can use different function of jquery to show message if your require is success
$.ajax({
url: "test.php",
data: "user_id=" + user_id,
type: "POST",
success: function(data) {
$('#message_div_id').text("Your message").show();
}
});

AJAX call to return values from PHP not working

I have a AJAX script which sends value to PHP script and to retrieve the value from the PHP script. The part where the script sends the value is working fine. Its the problem with the retrieving values. I am not able to figure out what is wrong.
AJAX code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#raaagh").click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax.php', //This is the current doc
type: "POST",
data: ({name: 145}),
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
$.ajax({
url:'ajax.php',
data: data,
dataType:'json',
success:function(data1) {
var y1=data1;
console.log(data1);
}
});
}
});
});
});
PHP code:
<?php
$userAnswer = $_POST['name'];
echo json_encode($userAnswer);
?>
Please check whether "name" is posted before assigning the value to $userAnswer.
Both ajax scripts are sending to "ajax.php". In first ajax request "name" is posted, but in 2nd ajax request "name" is not posted.
To see warnings and errors, enable error reporting in php.
<?php
//To enable error reporting
ini_set('display_errors',true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
data: {name: 145}
try this hope this will work.
Your nested AJAX call does not have the request type specified. The default is GET but your ajax.php is trying to find a POST.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#raaagh").click(function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax.php',
type: "POST",
data: ({name: 145}),
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
$.ajax({
url:'ajax.php',
type: "POST", //<-- added here
data: {name:data}, //<-- also required for POST
dataType:'json',
success:function(data1) {
var y1=data1;
console.log(data1);
}
});
}
});
});
});
Set type:'POST' inside the second ajax call and try to use data1[0]. Also remember that you are sending a json string (that comes from the first ajax) with the second request. Basically you are encoding an encoded value,so when you receive the post value you should json_decode the post value

jQuery Ajax = success return page

Ok so I know long hand ajax but trying to use the jQuery short cut. I have two documents
form.php
submit.php
In my "form" page I am calling the "submit" page to process the insert. I am currently using the jquery ajax:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('form').submit(function() {
string = jQuery("form").serializeArray();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "submit.php",
data: string,
dataType: "json",
})
return false;
});
</script>
When I view firebug it is processing the ajax fine. I am getting 200 and post parameters are set. What I am trying to do is have the ajax return the submit.php file. I know it has something to do with the "success" function but I don't know how to add this. I tried a few things like:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('form').submit(function() {
string = jQuery("form").serializeArray();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "submit.php",
data: string,
dataType: "json",
success: function(html){
alert(html);
}
})
return false;
});
</script>
and
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('form').submit(function() {
string = jQuery("form").serializeArray();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "submit.php",
data: string,
dataType: "json",
success: function(html){
$('.result').html(data);
}
})
return false;
});
</script>
but neither of these are working. Again I am simply trying to send the ajax request and then return the contents of the submit.php page. Not only does the submit.php page hold the script to process the php/ajax insert but it also display success statements like "insert was successful" so that is why I need to not only run the script in the page but also return the contents of that page. Thank you for any help.
Chagne the dataType:'json' to dataType:'html' for the callback that you wish to display the contents of submit.php.
You were close in your second attempt, but you made a typo. Try:
success: function (data) {
$('.result').html(data);
}
Also, unless your server is returning JSON, you probably want to change the dataType:
dataType: "html"
