Render a specific part of html after success Ajax - php

Myproblem is when I click my first selectbox, after there is a value, it will trigger the second selectbox. I implement it in Ajax, but successfully render ,but my other textfield value is gone. How could I just render a specific part of the responde html(success ajax call)?
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($('#product_category').val() == 'Choose Category')
document.getElementById('product_subcategory').disabled = true;
$('#product_category').change(function () {
if ($('#product_category').val() == 'Choose Category')
document.getElementById('product_subcategory').disabled = true;
else
document.getElementById('product_subcategory').disabled = false;
data = $('#product_category').val();
//alert(data);
var param = 'category_name=' + data;
$.ajax({
url: MYURL,
data: param,
success: function(result) {
alert('Choose product subcategory');
alert(param);
$('body').html('');
$('body').html(result);
}
});
// window.location = MYURL?category_name="+data;
});
$('#product_subcategory').change(function () {
data = $('#product_subcategory').val();
// paramCategory = $(document).getUrlParam('category_name');
// alert(paramCategory);
$.get(MYURL, function(data){
alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});
//window.location = MYURL?subcategory_name=" + data;
});
});
in my form, i use $_GET['category_name'] to get my value Ajax return value. I Debug in firebug, and it is successfully. I tried to render again the html, but my previous textarea's value and textfiel's value is gone since what i did is $('body').html(''); $('body').html(result);, So,how could I manage to get the success ajax return value, and use it in the PHP.
any confusion ,please tell me...
Thank you for spending ur time.
Hmm, I'm using a div and show the Div when it was return success ajax call.

the problem is here,
$('body').html('');
$('body').html(result);
you are blanking whole body and inserting new result. You have to change it to just
$('#second_select_box_id').html(result);

$('body').html('');
$('body').html(result);
This is emptying your page and inserting in it your result, I supose that what you really want to do is to load your second dropdown with the result, for that you'll need to do
$("#product_subcategory").html(result);
Of course, this will depend on what are your ajax function returning on result

You have two ways to do it.
Add the text from PhP while returning the data for Ajax call
Add the data back to the text box after loading the page..
data = $('#product_category').val();
//alert(data);
var param = 'category_name=' + data;
$.ajax({
url: MYURL,
data: param,
success: function(result) {
alert('Choose product subcategory');
alert(param);
$('body').html('');
$('body').html(result);
$('#product_category').val(data);
}
});

can you please try this
$(body).html('');
$(body).html(result);

Ajax fetch column text from a populated data table and use it in PHP

I have a datatable from which I want to take the text from a clicked cell and use it as a variable in PHP, so that I use that variable to query mysql. My codes so far as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#priority tbody').on('click', 'tr', function() {
var celldat = $(this).find('td:first').text(); //gets the text from the first column when a row is clicked.
$.ajax({
url: 'prioritize.php', //my url
method: "POST",
async: 'false',
data: {variable:celldat},
success: function(data) {
alert(celldat); //The alert is perfect. It returns the text from the first column.
window.location.reload(true);
}
})
});
});
</script>
In my PHP I am trying to echo the same value:
<?php
$selected=$_POST['variable'];
echo $selected;
?>
But it is not working. Essentially I want to use the $selected in mysql select query to populate another table.
in data: try to make it like this : "data: {variable:"+celldat"}"
Try to do this $_POST['data'] this will give you all data sent from the ajax request
Following the comments, you need to modify your jQuery
success: function(data){ alert(celldat); }
to
success: function(html){ alert(html); }
PHP side
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$selected = $_POST['variable'];
echo"$selected";
?>
You need to do something with the response, as, upon success, with the code you showed first, you just send the page to itself: update a div or table cell...
Ajax let you use the data sent back from PHP without refresh, why would you reload then ?
example of udating a div with PHP response:
success: function(html){ // 'html' is PHP response
$("#responsediv").html(''+html+''); // update a div with ID 'responsediv'
// as ID have to be unique, it makes sure you have the proper data in the correct div
},
error: function (request, status, error) { // handle error
alert(request.responseText);
}

How to pass JS object to PHP function

$('.select_category').change(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
var ID = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url:'<?php echo site_url($this->config->item('admin_folder').'/catalog/get_all_option');?>',
type:'POST',
data:{category_id:1},
dataType: 'json',
success:function(data){
$('#attribute_form').html('<?php add_attribute_form("'+data+'");?>');
}
});
}
});
on callback function success return the data and pass it to add_attribute_form(data) php function but nothing response.
what is the correct way to pass js object to php function
What you will need to do here is, use Ajax to send data to a separate php page passing it some information, then, based on that information, the php page should return data to the Ajax callback function which will add the returned data to the original page.
Here's a simple example (and a working demo here):
In index.html do this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.select_category').change(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
var ID = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url:'somepage.php',
type:'POST',
data:{category_id:1},
dataType: 'json', // this setting means you expect the server to return json formatted data
// this is important because if the data you get back is not valid json,
// the success callback below will not be called,
// the error callback will be called instead
success:function(response){
$('#attribute_form').html(response.html);
// if not using json, this would just be $('#attribute_form').html(response);
},
error:function(xhr, status, error){
// handel error
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
<input type="checkbox" class="select_category"> Check this box
<div id="attribute_form"></div>
Then in somepage.php do the following:
<?php
$category_id = isset($_POST['category_id']) ? $_POST['category_id'] : null;
if($category_id == '1'){
echo json_encode(array('html'=>'<h1>This text came from the php page</h1>'));
exit;
// if you are not using dataType:json in your ajax, you can just do:
// echo '<h1>This text came from the php page</h1>';
// exit;
}
?>

jQuery AJAX refresh page content after success

I'm updating my database with jQuery .click() and then calling my AJAX; my question is once the SQL has ran what is the best way to refresh the content on the page so I'll be able to do the previous action again, currently I'm using window.location.reload(true); but I don't like that method because I don't want to have the page reloading all I want is for the content on the element I used to update it with to be to match the database field after the AJAX was successful
Here's my jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span[class*='star']").click(function(){
var data = $(this).data('object');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {art_id:data.art_id,art_featured:data.art_featured},
url: "ajax-feature.php",
success: function(data){
if(data == false) {
window.location.reload(true);
} else {
window.location.reload(true);
}
}
});
console.log(data.art_featured);
});
});
PHP:
<section class="row">
<?php
$sql_categories = "SELECT art_id, art_featured FROM app_articles"
if($result = query($sql_categories)){
$list = array();
while($data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
array_push($list, $data);
}
foreach($list as $i => $row){
?>
<div class="row">
<div class="column one">
<?php if($row['art_featured']==0){
?>
<span data-object='{"art_id":"<?php echo $row['art_id'];?>", "art_featured":"<?php echo $row['art_featured'];?>"}' class="icon-small star"></span>
<?php
} else if($row['art_featured']==1) {
?>
<span data-object='{"art_id":"<?php echo $row['art_id'];?>", "art_featured":"<?php echo $row['art_featured'];?>"}' class="icon-small star-color"></span>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
} else {
echo "FAIL";
}
?>
</section>
EDIT:
I need to update the class .star or .star-color with art_featured depending on what the value of a art_featured is at the time, basically where ever I'm echoing out art_featured I need that to reload once the Ajax is successful.
EDIT:
$("span[class*='star']").click(function(){
var data = $(this).data('object');
var $this = $(this); //add this line right after the above
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {art_id:data.art_id,art_featured:data.art_featured},
url: "ajax-feature.php",
success:function(art_featured){
//remember $this = $(this) from earlier? we leverage it here
$this.data('object', $.extend($this.data('object')),{
art_featured: art_featured
});
}
});
console.log(data.art_featured);
});
If you can just return art_featured after the MySQL database success, it'll send it back to the ajax success function. here, we can manipulate data, however, first we should store reference to the element that was clicked on.
var data = $(this).data('object');
var $this = $(this); //add this line right after the above
Now in our success function, instead of using data just use art_featured because that's all we are returning. Now we can update the existing data object on the target.
success:function(art_featured){
//remmeber $this = $(this) from earlier? we leverage it here
$this.data('object', $.extend($this.data('object'),{
art_featured: art_featured
}));
}
The above will extend the existing data object, allowing key:value pairs to be redefined based on the object we are extending.
You should find this working as intended.
I don't fully understand your question so let's assume the content you want to change is a div with class div, and you want to replace the content with the content just sent i.e. the data. Then you would need to return the data (probably using JSON would be easiest), then your call would be
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {art_id:data.art_id,art_featured:data.art_featured},
url: "ajax-feature.php",
dataType:'json',
success: function(data){
for(n in data){
$('.div').append('<p>'+data[n]+'</p>');
}
}
});
Note addition of dataType return as being json, then iterating over the json data by for n in data, then using n to call the data from the array. So if the third item was name then you could do something like
$('.div').append('<p>Name is '+data[3]+'</p>');
You will have to return the data from the PHP form by json encoding it which can be done with the json_encode php function. If it's cross domain you'll have to use jsonp
EDIT:
If you already know the data you want to replace before you send the form (i.e. don't need a response) then you can just put those variables into the success call back. This will wait for the ajax to return successfully, then update your div.
So you could have this
var updateText = yourDataFromForm
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {art_id:data.art_id,art_featured:data.art_featured},
url: "ajax-feature.php",
dataType:'json',
success: function(data){
$('.div').append('<p>'+updateText+'</p>');
}
});

Get div content with jQuery for PHP

UPDATE: Wow that was the fastest response ever and so many answers in minutes of each other. Amazing. Ok here is what I am trying to do. http://edvizenor.com/invoice33/
I want to edit this invoice on the fly but when I hit the BLUE BOX at the top I want to preview or see this content on the next page contained php var echoed out.
This blue box will change later to be a button at the bottom but for testing I am using it.
As you see it calls the ajax script but I need the edited content of the div to be sent a php var to I can echo it on the preview page. If I can put it in a php var I do what I will with it on the next page. Does that make sense? Thanks guys for your quick responses.
OLD POST
Is it possible to get the contents of a div using jQuery and then place them in a PHP var to send via GET OR POST?
I can get the contents of the div with jQuery like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#MyButton").click(function()
{
var htmlStr = $("#MyDiv").html();
});
});
</script>
But how do I put the jQuery var in a php var. I need to do this by a BUTTON press too. This is not included in the code above. I need because the div file is changeable and when I hit UPDATE and send via PHP it needs to have the latest content.
According to your situation,
You are trying to send JavaScript variable to PHP.
The only common way to do this is to exchange in JSON format,
for example, suppose we have basic text editor
Jquery:
$($document).ready(function(){
$("#submit-button").click(function(){
$.post('yourphpscript.php', {
//this will be PHP var: //this is JavaScript variable:
'text' : $("#some_text_area").text()
}, function(response){
//To avoid JS Fatal Error:
try {
var result = JSON.parse(response);
//get back from PHP
if ( result.success){ alert('successfully changed') }
} catch(e){
//response isn't JSON
}
});
});
});
PHP code
<?php
/**
*
* So we are processing that variable from JavaScript
*/
if ( isset($_POST['text']) ){
//do smth, like save to database
}
/**
* Well if you want to show "Success message"
* that div or textarea successfully changed
* you can send the result BACK to JavaScript via JSON
*/
$some_array = array();
$some_aray['success'] = true;
die( json_encode($some_array) );
You'll need to use ajax to send the value to your server.
var html = $('#myDiv').html();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/SomeUrl/MyResource.php',
data: JSON.stringify({ text: html }),
success: function(response)
{
alert('Ajax call successful!');
}
});
The thing you need is AJAX (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming))
The basic idea is to send a http request with javascript by e.g. calling a php script and wait for the response.
With plain Javascript AJAX requests are a bit unhandy, but since you are already using jQuery you can make use of this library. See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ for a complete overview.
The code on client side would be something like this:
$.ajax({
url:'http://example.com/script.php',
data:'var=' + $('#myDiv').html(),
type:'GET'
success:function(response) {
console.log(response) // Your response
},
error:function(error) {
console.log(error) // No successful request
}
});
In your script.php you could do something like this:
$var = $_GET['var'];
// Do some processing...
echo 'response';
and in your javascript console the string response would occur.
In modern ajax based applications the best practise way to send and receive data is through JSON.
So to handle bigger datasets in your requests and responses you do something like this:
$.ajax({
url:'http://example.com/script.php',
data:{
var:$('#myDiv').html()
},
type:'GET'
success:function(response) {
console.log(response) // Your response
},
error:function(error) {
console.log(error) // No successful request
}
});
And in your PHP code you can use the $someArray = json_decode($_GET['var']) to decode JSONs for PHP (it will return an associative array) and $jsonString = json_encode($someArray) to encode an array to a JSON string which you can return and handle as a regular JSON in your javascript.
I hope that helps you out.
You can use hidden form fields and use jQuery to set the value of the hidden field to that, so when the button is clicked and form submitted, your PHP can pick it up as if it were any other form element (using $_POST). Alternatively, you can use AJAX to make an asynchronous request to your PHP page. This is probably simpler. Here's an example:
$("#myButton").click(function() {
var htmlStr = $('#myDiv').html();
$.post("mypage.php", { inputHTML : htmlStr },
function(data) {
alert("Data returned from mypage.php: " + data);
});
}
Yes, Its possible
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#MyButton').click(function(){
$.post('sendinfo.php',
{
data: $('#data').html()
},
function(response){
alert('Successfully');
});
});
});
</script>
<div id="data">Here is some data</div>
Use ajax for sending value to php (server).. here's a good tutorial for ajax with jquery http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax.asp
you should just use Ajax to send your variable.
$.ajax({
url:'whateverUrl.php',
type:'GET',
data:{
html : htmlStr
}
});
Using AJAX:
$("#MyButton").click(function() {
var htmlStr = $("#MyDiv").html();
$.ajax({
url: "script.php",
type: "POST",
data: {htmlStr : htmlStr},
success: function(returnedData) {
//do something
}
});
});
Something like below should work.
Read more: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/
$("#YourButton").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var htmlStr = $("#YourDiv").html();
$.post(
url: 'YourPHP.php',
data: '{"htmlStr" : "'+htmlStr+'"}',
success: function(){
alert("Success!");
}
);
});
Send the data via XmlHttpRequest ("ajax") to your php page either via POST or GET.

How can I add the content of a page in a div with Ajax?

I have a list in my site, and when I click each of the list items, I want the div next to them to reload with ajax, so as not to reload the whole page.
Here is my javascript
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId;
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
The ajaxFunction() function is the regular $.ajax() jQuery function, with "POST". In the "changeCategory.php" I call with include another php file.
The problem is that the whole page is reloaded instead of only the div. I want to use this ajax function I have, cause I want to send data to my php file.
Does anyone know what should I do to reload only the div?
Thanks in advance
Try this
$(document).ready(function(){
var parameters = {category_id:categoryId};
$.ajax({
url:'changeCategory.php',
type:'post',
data:parameters,
dataType:'html',
success:function(result){
$("#mydiv").html(result);
},
error:function(){
alert('Error in loading [itemid]...');
}
});
});
Also verify that when in your click event this line is written or not return false; This is required.
Try using load to load the div with the url contents -
$("#mydiv").load("changeCategory.php", {category_id: "category_id_value"} );
You can pass data to the url.
The POST method is used if data is provided as an object; otherwise, GET is assumed.
you could send a query to that PHP so it "understands" that it needs to output only the div, like this:
in your javascript:
//add the query here
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId + "&type=divonly";
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
in your "changeCategory.php":
//add a query check:
$type = "";
if (isset($_POST['type'])) {
$type = $_POST['type'];
}
//then, depending on the type, output only the div:
if($type === "divonly"){
//output the div only;
} else {
//your normal page
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "right.php",
type: "POST",
data: {},
cache: false,
success: function (response) {
$('#right_description').html(response);
}
});
});
The whole page is reloaded that means there may be an error in your javascript code
check it again
or try this one
function name_of_your_function(id)
{
var html = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_main_sectors.php",
data: "sec="+id,
async: false
}).responseText;
document.getElementById("your div id").innerHTML=html;
}
you can use get method or post method....
