Calling a JS function in PHP - php

I know it`s possible to call javascript functions in php and it has worked but when i try to call checkSecondValue, nothing happens. I have included my variations on calling the function.
Edit: If i try to call it at the bottom without activating the onChange event in the select, it won`t work.
<!--<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="validation.js"></script>

<?php
//retrieve all the bris for the drop down
include '../../inc/database.php';
$res = BbqcDatabase::getInstance()->doQuery('SELECT * FROM T_TOURNOI_BRIS');
$str = "<select name='ddlBrisSelected' id='ddlBrisSelected' onChange='checkSecondValue()'>";
$bris = ($_GET['bris']);
if($bris == 4)
{
$bris2 = "autre";
}
if($bris == null)
{
$str .= "<option value='' selected></option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value=''></option>";
}
$i = 0;
while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($res))
{
if($data['F_BRISID'] == $bris)
{
$str .= "<option value='" . $data['F_BRISID'] . "' selected '>" . $data['F_BRISTITLE'] . "</option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value='" . $data['F_BRISID'] . "'>" . $data['F_BRISTITLE'] . "</option>";
}
}
if($bris2 == "autre")
{
$str .= "<option value='autre' selected>Autre</option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value='autre'>Autre</option>";
}
$str .= "</select>";
echo $str;
if(is_numeric($bris))
{
/* echo "<SCRIPT language=\"JavaScript\" SRC=\"validation.js\">checkSecondValue();</SCRIPT>"; */
/* echo "<script> checkSecondValue();</script>"; */
/* echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">checkSecondValue();</script>"; */
/* echo '<script type="text/javascript">', 'checkSecondValue();', '</script>'; */
/* echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>checkSecondValue();</SCRIPT>"; */
}
?>

You can't call client-side javascript functions from PHP, but you can echo code that makes the client call the function on a specific (client-side) event.
Just look at the generated HTML you get from your PHP, and from there, try to see why checkSecondValue() isn't executed on an onChange event.

At the very least, you want your function call to happen only after the page is loaded. This can be done by embedding the function in the body tag during onload:
<body onload="checkSecondValue();">
The function call is going to execute on the client-side, after the entire page has been processed by PHP. You can't communicate back-and-forth between JavaScript and PHP during the process of the page.

PHP JQuery Checkbox Array - Selecting only 1 value

Following is an ajax post page which renders the checkboxes on run-time. I am facing issue while writting the script for select all button, when I click on the button only 1 value is getting selected not the entire array:
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
include("../includes/functions.php");
if(isset($_REQUEST['t']))
{
$td = $_REQUEST['t'];
$t = split(",",$td);
$all = "";
$box_in_row = 0 ;
$this_box="<table border=0><tr>";
foreach($t as $table)
{
$this_box = "<td><h3>$table</h3>";
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM $table FROM prfxcom1_prfx");
$options = "";
while($r = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
if(!empty($r->Comment))
{
$options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='$r->Field' id=\"$table\">" . $r->Field;
}
}
if($table == "transfer_req")
{
$options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='Net Profit' id=\"$table\">NetProfit";
}
$this_box .= $options;
// Button
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
$button = "<br /><input style='margin-top:10px;' type='button' name='$table_button' id='$table_button' value=' Select All ' onclick=\"$click\"/>";
$all .= "<div class='tblBox'>".$this_box.$button."</div></td>";
}
//$all = "<table class=\"listing form\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">".$all."</table>";
echo $all;
}
?>
Issue is faced in the line:
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
Please suggest, I am stuck on this.
Thanks,
Hardik
WHAT???
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
How can you write Javascript in the middle of a PHP file? It needs to be in script tags but even then PHP runs at the server and will not render your Javascript for you.
Add script tags, change your ID's to separate ones and give them the same class like tableClassName, and then write the following.
$(function(){
$('.tableClassName').attr('checked', 'checked')";
});
Ignoring the many issues with the code and simply answering the question:
You need to refer to the checkboxes using a class name not a ID (you have given them all the same ID)
For these lines: $options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='$r->Field' id=\"$table\">" . $r->Field;
Change to: $options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name='" . $table . "[]' value='" . $r->Field ."' class='" . $table . "'>" . $r->Field;
For this line: $click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')"; use single quotes or escape the $
Change to: $click = '$("."'.$table.'").attr("checked", "checked")';

Is there a way to apply the button() jquery ui function to a button when it's loaded?

Basically. I have a javascript loop that posts to a php script. To append on the response to a DIV in a log. The response has a button inside it. The problem is, when a new response is made and appended, the jquery button function makes all the previous appended buttons larger. (Probably because it's calling the jquery button() function again on the same DIV elements.)
Is there a way to apply the button() jquery ui function to a button when it's loaded? (Instead of applying it to every element with the same name?)
This php is quite similar to the following (but this is shortened.) Just to give you an idea of what the php script does.
<?php
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
function addButton(x) {
x = this;
$(x).button({
icons: {
primary: 'ui-icon-alert'
}
});
}
</script><div id='chat_wrap' class='message".$id."' hidden='true'>";
if ($query_run = mysql_query($finalchatq)) {
if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($finalchatq)) > 0) {
$counter = 0;
$amount = array();
while ($query_rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_run)) {
$time1 = $query_rows['time'];
$time2 = substr_replace($time1, " : ", 10, 1);
$time = str_ireplace('.', '/', $time2);
$text = str_ireplace('removem', '', $query_rows['text']);
$id = $query_rows['id'];
if($query_rows['type']=='notice') {
echo "<div selectable='false'><div id='date'><div id='notice'>NOTICE:</div>Sent At: ".$time."</div><div id='Nchat_message'><div id='chat_text'>".$text."</div><img id='charhead' src='camperhead.php?id=".$query_rows['who']."' id='charhead'></img></div>";
echo "<div id='controls'>";
if(userIsA('admin')||userIsA('mod')) {
echo "<input hidden='hidden' name='idtodel' value='".$id."'></input><input type='button' value='DELETE' id='delete_button'></input>";
} else {
}
echo "</div></div></div><br/><br/>";
}
if($query_rows['type']=='normal'){
echo "<div selectable='false'><div id='date'><div id='by'>".getUserFieldById($query_rows['who'], 'camper_name').":</div>Sent At: ".$time."</div><div id='chat_message'><div id='chat_text'>".$text."</div><img id='charhead' src='camperhead.php?id=".$query_rows['who']."' id='charhead'></img>";
echo "<div id='controls'>";
if(userIsA('admn')||userIsA('md')) {
echo "<button id='delete_button' class='dpp2' onclick='delCom(".$id.")'>Delete</button>";
} else {
echo "<button id='report_button' onload='addButton(this)' onclick='reportCom(".$id.")'>REPORT</button>";
}
echo "</div></div></div></div></div><br/><br/>";
}
}
echo "</div>";
}
}
}
?>
I hope I've made my question clear enough, if you have any concerns please post a comment and I'll reply as soon as I can.
Try using the .on() function in jQuery to define it when created http://api.jquery.com/on/

Option on dropdown as anchor

I am pulling out record from the database and inserting them inside a dropdown like this:
echo "<select>";
while ($drow = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
{
echo "<option>" . $drow['id'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
It works but I need to be able to click on an option on the dropdown and make it link just like:
Record1Here
Record2Here
Record3Here
UPDATE: Latest code:
<script>
function doSomething() {
var currentval = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
// you could navigate away at that point ?
window.location = currentval;
}
</script>
...
echo "<select onchange='doSomething();'>";
while ($drow = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
{
echo "<option value=\"view.php\">" . $drow['id'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
You can't place anchors on an option within a select list.
What you can do is use JavaScript and then do something on the change event of the select list :
echo "<select onchange='doSomething(this);>';
then in JavaScript do something based on the selected value :
function doSomething(elem) {
var currentval = elem.options[elem.selectedIndex].value;
// you could navigate away at that point ?
window.location = currentval;
}
Example here
you could update your PHP code to include a value in each option :
echo "<option value=\"urlhere.php\">" . $drow['id'] . "</option>";

jquery add to array then submit and pass data not working

My problem is:
I'm trying to submit an array of hidden input types, which are stacked into an array using jquery onclick, to a PHP file. However, when I try to count or even echo the passed variable in the php file (saveTest.php), no data appears or the count variable is zero.
I've searched and I found this guy's question:
pass an array from jQuery to PHP (and actually go to the page after submit)
I think I'm close to the above post but I'm still a newbie in jQuery so I don't understand much of the codes.
This is my jquery:
$(function(){
$("td").click(function(){
if($(this).hasClass("on"))
{
alert("Already marked absent");
}
else
{
$(this).addClass("on");
var currentCellText = $(this).text();
$("#collect").append("<input type='text' hidden = '" + currentCellText + "'/>" + currentCellText);
}
});
$("#clicky").click(function(){
$("td").removeClass("on");
$("#collect").text('');
$("#collect").append("Absentees: <br>")
});
});
<?php
session_start();
include 'connectdb.php';
$classID = $_SESSION['csID'];
$classQry = "SELECT e.csID, c.subjCode, c.section, b.subj_name, e.studentID, CONCAT(s.lname, ', ' , s.fname)name
FROM ENROLLMENT e, CLASS_SCHEDULE c, STUDENT s, SUBJECT b
WHERE e.csID = c.csID
AND c.csID = '" . $classID . "'
AND c.subjCode = b.subjCode
AND e.studentID = s.studentID
ORDER BY e.sort;";
$doClassQry = mysql_query($classQry);
echo "<table id='tableone'>";
while($x = mysql_fetch_array($doClassQry))
{
$subject = $x['subj_name'];
$subjCode = $x['subjCode'];
$section = $x['section'];
$studentArr[] = $x['name'];
$studentID[] = $x['studentID'];
}
echo "<thead>";
echo "<tr><th colspan = 7>" . "This is your class: " . $subjCode . " " . $section . " : " . $subject . "</th></tr>";
echo "</thead>";
echo "<tbody>";
echo "<tr>";
for($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($doClassQry); $i++)
{
if($i % 7 == 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr><td id = '". $studentID[$i] . " '>" . $studentArr[$i] . "</td>";
}
else
{
echo "<td id = '". $studentID[$i] . " '>" . $studentArr[$i] . "</td>";
}
}
echo "</tr>";
echo "</tbody>";
echo "</table>";
?>
This is my php file (saveTest.php)
<?php
$absent = $_POST['absent'];
//echo "absnt" . $absent[] . "<br>";
echo count($absent);
?>
Add name to hidden field:
$("#collect").append("<input type='hidden' name="absent[] value= '" + currentCellText + "'/>" + currentCellText);
It looks like you want to submit a javascript array to a php script and then make use of it. You can make use of .each() function to loop through all the hidden values and adding them into the array. Then use $.post to submit the array to a php script.
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#btn_submit').click(function(){
var array_hidden = [];
$('input[type=hidden]').each(function(index){
var current_value = $.trim($(this).val());
array_hidden[index] = current_value;
});
$.post('arraysubmit.php', {'hidden_array' : array_hidden}, function(data){
$('#results').html(data);
});
});
});
</script>
<?php for($x=0; $x<=10; $x++){ ?>
<input type="hidden" name="name[]" value="Name<?php echo $x; ?>">
<?php } ?>
<input type="button" id="btn_submit">
<div id="results"></div>
You can then access the array in the php script using the post variable and do whatever you want with it:
$_POST['hidden_array']

selected option in select dissappears on reload

Once it loads in my page, if nothing has been saved in the DB table, all options are shown. As soon as i make a selection and reload the page, the selected option dissapears from the list and isn`t reloaded in the dropdown. Instead, it displays the next value which takes the place of the selected one.
if i check the SQL statement and the $str, it does load all the options except the one which is selected which is in $getBris (it has a value).
What could be causing my select to not display my selected option and instead removing it from the list?
*It specifically doesnt work in IE8, wasnt working in Firefox but now it does
<script src="validation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<html>
<body onLoad="checkSecondValue();">
</body>
</html>
<?php
//retrieve all the bris for the drop down
include '../../inc/database.php';
// ORDER BY RAND()
$res = BbqcDatabase::getInstance()->doQuery('SELECT * FROM T_TOURNOI_BRIS');
$str = "<select name='ddlBrisSelected' id='ddlBrisSelected' onChange='checkSecondValue()'>";
$getBris = $_GET['bris'];
$getBris = $getBris - 1;
print_r("bris is : "+ $getBris);
if($getBris == null)
{
$str .= "<option value='' selected></option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value='999'>Choisir un bris</option>";
}
$i = 0;
while($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($res))
{
if($data['F_BRISID'] == $getBris)
{
$str .= "<option value='" . $data['F_BRISID'] . "' selected '>" . $data['F_BRISTITLE'] . "</option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value='" . $data['F_BRISID'] . "'>" . $data['F_BRISTITLE'] . "</option>";
}
$i++;
}
if($getBris == 12)
{
$str .= "<option value=12 selected>Autre</option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value=12>Autre</option>";
}
$str .= "</select>";
echo $str;
if(is_numeric($bris))
{
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert('test');checkSecondValue();</script>";
}
?>
Use your browser's View Source feature to inspect the actual HTML you are generating (which is, in fact, the only see the browser ever sees). It looks like you're inserting random single quotes.
Update:
<option value='" . $data['F_BRISID'] . "' selected '>" . $data['F_BRISTITLE'] . "</option>"
... will render as:
<option value='blah' selected '>blah</option>
It's the only error I've cared to spot but an HTML validator should find them all. Also, I recommend you use this syntax:
<option value="blah" selected="selected">blah</option>
A construct like this
if($getBris == 12)
{
$str .= "<option value=12 selected>Autre</option>";
}
else
{
$str .= "<option value=12>Autre</option>";
}
is highly wasteful of space and forces you to duplicate a big chunk of html whose only difference is the "selected" attribute. Why not do something like this:
$selected = ($getBris == 12) ? ' selected' : '';
$str .= "<option value=12{$selected}>Autre</option>";
