calling a php function using ajax after interval of time - php

Question

hi i am working on a codeigniter project. I want to execute a php function after an interval of 10seconds. When a user visits that specific page after 10 seconds i want that php function to be executed. In that php function i have set a counter which adds 1 to the specific table into the database. I have tried using AJAX but didnt get the desired result. Kindly explain me with examples as i am new in ajax. Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

#Majid Golshadi s answer is the right answer.
Working version is here
Please in view that is loaded all the time (like header_view.php)
add this few lines
<script type="text/javascript">
var _baseUrl = "<?= base_url() ?>";
</script>
This makes that your base_url is usable in JavaScript anywhere in page (but make sure to have it somewhere on "TOP" of page)
and literraly use #Majid Golshadi s answer in this way
$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
url: _baseUrl + "/your/controller/param",
type: 'post',
data: {"token": "your_token"}, });
}, 10000);
});

Answer 2

using jquery this will be the easiest and fastest way to do that
`//setting timeout to 3 seconds = 3 thousand milli seconds
setInterval(function(){
//ajax call
$.ajax({
url: _baseUrl + "/controller_name/function_name/", //the url where you want to fetch the data
type: 'post', //type of request POST or GET
data: {"data": "value"}, }); //data passed to controller
},3000);`
in your controller you may use
function function_name(){
$var = $this->input->post();//getting data passed from ajax
//process here...
echo json_encode($var)//parses and returns the processed value
}

try this
setTimeout(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "<?php echo base_url('your/controller/address');?>",
type: 'post',
data: {"token": "your_token"},
});
}, 10000);
Example
in your view
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "<?php echo base_url('MyController/Mymethod');?>",
type: 'post',
data: {"token": "12majid18"},
});
}, 10000);
});
and in Your Controller write method like this
public function Mymethod()
{
$token = $this->input->post('token');
if ( $token == '12majid18' )
{
/*call your model and insert your data in Table*/
}
}

Answer 4

you can try this:
window.jQuery(function(){
var y=setInterval(function() {
window.jQuery.post(url,{"token": "your_token"},function(res){
alert(res);
});
}, 10000);
});
