A problem with using Smarty & Mysql & Jquery - php

Question

I have a problem in using Samrtm Mysql and Jquery or Ajax
and if I use a div auto reloader
it shows a php error ..
these are my files:
accept.html (Template)
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function ()
{
$('#invite').load('accept.php').fadeIn("slow");
}, 1000);
</script>
{/literal}
<div id="invite">
<fieldset>
<legend>Invites</legend>
{section name=ct loop=$invites}
You have an invite {$sender.user}<br />
Accept | Cancel
{/section}
</fieldset>
</div>
accept.php (Main file)
<?php
$time = date("i:s",time("s"));
$sql_select_invite = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM invite WHERE recid = '$_SESSION[id]' AND accept = '0' AND endtime > '$time'");
while($invite = mysql_fetch_array($sql_select_invite)){
$sender = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM member WHERE id = '$invite[sendid]'"));
$contest->assign("sender", $sender);
$invites[] = $invite;
}
$contest->assign("invites", $invites);
?>
and when I use the Jquery thing or Ajax
it shows this error:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied
argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in
C:\AppServ\www\somefo\accept.php
on line 6
Fatal error: Call to a member function
assign() on a non-object in
C:\AppServ\www\somefo\accept.php
on line 11
I don't know why it shows this .. and I hope you answer me
and what or how to solve this problem
Thanks ..

Answer 1

For php:
<?php
$sql = mysql_connect(......); // connect to your server
if (!$sql) {
die('Can\'t connect to database');
}
// select your database
mysql_select_db('your_db', $sql) or die('Can\'t select database');
$time = date("i:s",time("s"));
$sql_select_invite_query = "SELECT * FROM invite WHERE recid = '$_SESSION[id]' AND accept = '0' AND endtime > '$time'";
// print it if you want to see sql query to test it in phpmyadmin
echo $sql_select_invite_query;
// --------------------------------------------------------------
$sql_select_invite = mysql_query($sql_select_invite_query, $sql);
if (!$sql_select_invite) { // check for error in query
die(mysql_error()); // and print it
}
$invites = array(); // don't forget to make an empty array
while($invite = mysql_fetch_array($sql_select_invite, $sql)){
// this place is not good, just make it as you do before, with checks
$sender = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM member WHERE id = '$invite[sendid]'"));
$contest->assign("sender", $sender);
$invites[] = $invite;
}
$contest->assign("invites", $invites); // in your case there is no $invite
// array cause mysql_fetch_array returned
// false and it is not defined before [while]
?>
For JS to test:
setInterval( function () {
$('#invite').load('accept.php', function() {
alert('loaded'); // it is to check content is loaded
}).fadeIn("slow");
}, 1000);
