Alright, this pretty much goes along with my previous question. I'm still trying to figure out how to display data from an array which is created by a PHP file- using JS/jQuery. I'm working on a points system for ZetaBoards, and I've currently got it set up here. (Points will be displayed below the users post count once I get this working.. you guys can't see the +/- functions which work fine, haha. :p )
http://outlinetokens.hostei.com/scripts/output.php
So, for each user- I can get their user ID, I just don't know how to check if their name is in the array. (and if it is, display their points) I'm guessing I'll have to do something like this? Here's the chunk of the code that deals with this.. you'll see where I need help.
if (location.href.match('/topic/')) {
$.getScript('http://outlinetokens.hostei.com/scripts/output.php', function () {
$('td.c_username a.member').each(function () {
value = 0;
u = $(this).attr('href').split('profile/')[1].split('/')[0];
// this is where I need to do the 'search.' Just a basic guess.. help. D:
if (values.uid == u) {
value = values.points;
}
$(this).parents('tr').next().find('dl.user_info').append('<dt>' + options.system_name + ':</dt><dd class="Points"><span id="point_total">' + value + '</span></dd>');
});
})
}
...in case the code tag screwed it up:

Thanks! (:
Why are these lines in your data formatted like this:
{'uid','342230','name','Joe','points','250'}
instead of this:
{'uid': '342230', 'name': 'Joe', 'points','250'}
If that was formatted correctly you could access the properties.
I'm not sure if I'm reading your question right, but you can load JSON with jQuery, instead of a script.
If then, the array is one of usernames, you can just use response.hasOwnProperty(username) or similar to check if it's in the JSON object you got back
Also, in php use json_encode
You want JQuery.parseJSON. Load the data string, parse it, and assuming its valid JSON, it will become a JS object. Then just access the members in the usual way.

I have this while loop, that basically loops through a lot of records in a database, and inserts the data in another:
$q = $con1->query($users1) or die(print_r($con2->errorInfo(),1));
while($row = $q->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$q = $con2->prepare($users2);
$q->execute(array($row['id'], $row['username'])) or die(print_r($con2-errorInfo(),1));
}
(The script has been shortened for easy reading - the correct one has a much longer array)
I would like to do this more graphical, and show a progress bar on how far it has went, instead of just seeing a page loading for a few minutes (there are ~20.000 rows in this one - I have tables with much more data)
I get that you could get the total number from the old database, and I could also easily put the current number into a variable like this:
$q = $con1->query($users1) or die(print_r($con2->errorInfo(),1));
$i = 0;
while($row = $q->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$q = $con2->prepare($users2);
$q->execute(array($row['id'], $row['username'])) or die(print_r($con2-errorInfo(),1));
$i++;
}
But now I need to actually fetch $i and display it - or something like it.
How is this "easily" done?
The code for the progress bar can either be in the same document as the while loop, or in another if easier.
You can do a "master" file that does an ajax to this first file to run a single query. You could get all the entry id's in this master file, and then pass it as a parameter to the second file that does a single query. Store these ids in a javascript array.
Create a function that does this, and when the first ajax is done, move to the second element of the id array, and do another ajax with a second parameter. That's how magento imports are done by the way :)
If you need further explanations, let me know, I tried my best to explain, but may have not been perfectly clear.
// you generate this javascript array using php.
// let's say you have all the ids that have to be processed in $Ids php array.
Ids = [<?php echo implode(',', $Ids); ?>];
function doAjax(i) {
$.ajax({ // using jquery for simplicity
'url': "ajax.php?id=" + Ids[i],
}).done(function(){
if ( i >= 0 ) {
// at the point you know you're at ((Ids.length-i)/(Ids.length) * 100) percent of the script
// so you can do something like this:
// $('.progressbar').css('width', ((Ids.length-i)/(Ids.length) * 100) + '%');
doAjax(i-1);
}
});
}
doAjax(Ids.length); // starting from the last entry
So, just to explain what this does. It starts by declaring a global javascript array that has all the ids that will need to be changed.
Then I declare a recursive ajax function, this way we can make sure that only one ajax runs at any single time (so the server doesn't blow up), and we can have a fairly accurate progress. This ajax function does the following:
Sends a request to ajax.php?id=xxx - where xxx is one of the ids in the javascript array.
In the file, we get the id ($_GET['id']), you take it from the old database, and insert it in the new one. This is only for one entry.
when the ajax is done, it goes to the done() function. Since we start the doAjax() function with the last element, we do the next iteration doAjax(i-1). Since we're going backwards in the array, we check if the key is positive. If it's not, the script will stop.
That's about it.
You can't. The php is first interpreted by the server and then send to the user as HTML-Code.
The only possibility would be creating a html-page and call the php-script with AJAX.

I have a PHP page that uses jQuery to let a user update a particular item without needing to refresh the page. It is an availability update where they can change their availability for an event to Yes, No, or Maybe. Each time they click on the link the appropriate jQuery function is called to send data to a separate PHP file (update_avail.php) and the appropriate data is returned.
Yes
Then when clicked the params are sent to a PHP file which returns back:
No
Then, if clicked again the PHP will return:
Maybe
It all works fine and I'm loving it.
BUT--
I also have a total count at the bottom of the page that is PHP code to count the total number of users that have selected Yes as their availability by simply using:
<?php count($event1_accepted); ?>
How can I make it so that if a user changes their availability it will also update the count without needing to refresh the page?
My thoughts so far are:
$var = 1;
while ($var > 0) {
count($day1_accepted);
$var = 0;
exit;
}
Then add a line to my 'update_avail.php' (which gets sent data from the jQuery function) to make $var = 1
Any help would be great. I would like to stress that my main strength is PHP, not jQuery, so a PHP solution would be preferred, but if necessary I can tackle some simple jQuery.
Thanks!
In the response from update_avail.php return a JSON object with both your replacement html and your new counter value.
Or to keep it simple, if they click "yes" incriment the counter, if they click No or maybe and their previous action wasn't No or Maybe decrease the counter.
Assuming your users are logged into the system I'd recommend having a status field in the user table, perhaps as an enum with "offline", "available", "busy", "unavailable" or something similar and use the query the number of available users whilst updating the users status.
If you were to do this you'd need to include in extend your methods containing session)start() and session_destroy() to change the availability of the user to available / offline respectively
The best way is the one suggested by Scuzzy with some improvements.
In your php, get the count from the database and return a JSON object like:
{ count: 123, html: 'Yes' }
In your page, in the ajax response you get the values and update the elements:
...
success: function(data) {
$("#linkPlaceholder").html(data.html);
$("#countPlaceholder").html(data.count);
}
...
I am working on a page that displays all state parks. Something like this:
http://www.comehike.com/outdoors/state.php?country_id=1&state_id=6&state_name=California&country_name=
I have the park data, including lat/lng in my database and I already get that data during the request. What I want to avoid is doing an AJAX call which will query the park data again.
Is it possible for me to just send the PHP result set to the JS somehow and to loop through the parks and display them?
I am already doing something like that by sending the map-center lat/lng so I figured it is doable with a result set.
Thanks,
Alex
This depends on how your pages are setup. If you're using some kind of MVC setup, you need to pass the variable to your view first. Or if it's a single page, just retrieve the PHP above and pass it as a variable.
<?php
$parkData = $model->getData(); //make sure this returns an array or an object array or something
$parkDataJson = json_encode($parkData);
?>
//in your view
<script type='text/javascript'>
let parkData = <?php echo $parkDataJson ?>;
//now you have a JSON array available for your use
</script>
I need some help figuring out why the following scenario does not work. I'm trying to retrieve a value from the last updated ID in mysql, then pass that value via javascript over to an ajax call which calls a .php page, which also calls another function "ZEND_emaiL" in a different php page.
In the very first php page that retrieves the id from mysql LAST_INSERT_ID(), if I hard code the value "100" it works, but if I use the value returned from LAST_INSERT_ID() it causes a failure.
Here's the php code for the LAST_INSERT_ID():
$sql='SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();';
$last_updated_id = $db->get_var( $sql );
$last_updated_id = $last_updated_id+0;//make int
echo $last_updated_id; //send output back to the ajax call
var_dump($last_updated_id); ------------->RETURNS **int 149**
if I send back a hard coded "100" like this: echo 100; then it works.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance.
The following are values retrieved from the php page that contains the ZEND_email() function. I grabbed these for debugging purposes hoping it would help.
RETURN VALUES for Hard Coded:
var_dump($n_id);---------->Returns **int 100**
var_dump($sqlresult);----->Returns **resource 24**
var_dump($row);----------->Returns **array of data to parse through**
RETURN VALUES FOR Passed in Variable (Fails):
function ZEND_email($to, $from="", $subject="", $msg="", $notif_id='', $root_dir="")
{
var_dump($notif_id);---------------------->RETURNS **string '100'**
$notif_id = $notif_id+0;//convert to int
var_dump($notif_id);---------------------->RETURNS **int 100**
$n_id = $notif_id;
$xsql = $sql_str->SQL_SELECT_all_notif_attachments($account_id, $n_id);
$sqlresult=mysql_query($xsql);
$row=mysql_fetch_row($sqlresult);
var_dump($n_id);---------------->RETURNS **int 100**
var_dump($sqlresult);----------->RETURNS **resource 24**
var_dump($row);----------------->RETURNS **boolean false**
}
you are aware that you could use mysql_insert_id() ?
see http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php which would give you an INT value directly,
btw, to convert a variable to integer you can use:
$foo = (int) $bar
or
$foo = intval($bar);
or
$foo = settype($bar,'int');
Hard to tell from those code snippets. Better check what's going on on the client-side.
E.g. with firebug you can both check the actual response data and step into the javascript code.
Had to scrap this code...couldn't get it all to work with the feature for the app so we dropped it. Thanks for your help.
