Here is the code:
$('#sousmenu a').click (function (){
startSlideshow(<?php echo json_encode(glob("photos-" .$_GET["folder"]. "/*.jpg"));?>);
return false;
});
The question is I like the HREF to change and get caught by PHP, now it doesn't do anything, but writing the ?folder=portraits works.
Here is the page.
**** Simpler *****
Maybe I am not clear, it happens sometimes!
I want the link href to be send to this PHP function,
<?php echo json_encode(glob("photos-" .(i what the href link). "/*.jpg"));?>
so clicking on the link animaux will send animaux to the glob() PHP function and will get all the .jpg files in the photos-animaux folder.
Clicking on the portraits will send the photo-portraits, etc.
If you want to modify the URL and have the added/changed variable picked by PHP interpreter you have to reload your page. Just altering the URL doesn't do anything because JS is executed after PHP processing.
If your site is on http://example.com and you wish a myparam with value test to be passed to PHP you should add something like this in your JS:
document.location = 'http://example.com?myparam=test';
This will reload your page adding a new param which can be accessed in PHP by simply using $_GET['myparam'] variable.
You may also want to consider using AJAX to dynamically changing the contents of your page without having to refresh the whole page, but that's a little bit more complicated.
Look at the source in your browser.
Php is server-side, and that means you need to use ajax or reload whole page to get a response.
There is a nice ajax part of tutorial on jquery website, after reading it you should be able to do what you want: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery#Rate_me:_Using_Ajax

Basically, at the click of a button I need to refresh a div that contains embedded PHP. I tried using .html() in jQuery to reload the contents of the div, but it didn't change anything so I'm assuming it's not recalling the PHP (because the PHP should be changed at this point). It's probably just rewriting the HTML that was outputted by the PHP when the page loaded. I also tried appending something to the new HTML load so I could see it was at least refreshing the HTML code, and it was. It looked something like (if "updateObject" is a variable that contains the location of the div):
updateObject.html(updateObject.html() + " random text");
I also fiddled around with the .load() jQuery method, but it seemed to be for external PHP files (and at this point I can't change my embedded PHP to external PHP).
Any thoughts? Thanks!
EDIT: The biggest problem I've had is that, with my limited knowledge of web dev, I need to have the PHP embedded. If I make it a separate file, I'd have a very difficult time finding it because I honestly don't understand how the files get put together through the framework we're using (Drupal). I did try using an external PHP file but I couldn't figure out how to find it. Even if I put it in the same directory as this HTML file, it doesn't seem to be easy to find.
You are to have 2 files:
PHP
This contains the data you want to show.
HTML
This is the one showing the php content.
In PHP you can put whatever you want. But the HTML once is loaded is loaded and the only way to have some more content into it is to make what is called an asynchronous call, which means a call after the page has been loaded.
To do this you are to use jQuery and call the $.post (or $.ajax), using this syntax:
$.post('filename.php', function(dataFromPhp){
//actions to do once the php has been read
})
So in your case you can make a function that reads the php every time the click is done on a div/button/other DOM object; like so:
function updateDivContent(whatDiv){
$.post('filename.php', function(dataFromPhp){
if(dataFromPhp){
$(whatDiv).html(dataFromPhp)
}
})
}
So if you want the div to be refreshed (and reload the php) you are to connect that function to an event and specify the div you want to show the data:
$('#myBtn').click(function(){
updateDivContent('#myDiv');
})
Refer to this documentation for further informations: https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/
So I have the following code:
<div id="currentmotto"><?php mottoGrab($name); ?></div>
And what this does is it uses curl to screen scrape a users motto and display it on the site. What I need it to do is for that function to refresh every few seconds to see if the user has updated the motto.
I know with jquery I can use the .load('phpfile.php') but the problem then is if I put that function in that file, it no longer gets the $name variable as that is from another page.
Any ideas?
Pass name to phpfile.php via the query string:
.load('phpfile.php?name=THENAME');
Then grab the name from within phpfile.php using $_GET['name'] and stick it in the function.
OR
Make an AJAX request passing the name and update the page using javascript.
Since PHP is executed server-side, it doesn't change once the client loads the page. The only way to refresh a div without JavaScript is to reload the page.
I would try using AJAX to get the name from the other file and update the HTML with JavaScript
I'm trying to replace a bit of javascript in my page via AJAX, but for some reason, AJAX wont replace it...
When I use:
alert(document.getElementById('treintracking').innerHTML);
I can clearly see the javascript from the script piece: (this is the opening line of the javascript piece)
<script type="text/javascript" id="treintracking">
For replacing the script I use this:
document.getElementById('treintracking').innerHTML = responseText;
So, why does AJAX not want to replace the javascript?
I've tested, and the php file used to generate the replacement javascript, works fine.
I also took into account that the to-be-replaced javascript already has tags around it, so I removed those in the php file.
But it still wont replace the content...
Also, if it put somefunction() in that javascript, will it then run, or do I have to do something special?
Note: the javascript script is generated in a php file.
SOLUTION:
I am now using this external solution, I don't have a clue how it works, but it works perfectly:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/loadjavascriptcss2.shtml
[I took the loading script from the page source, as it wasnt in the article itself...]
Adding JavaScript via innerHTML does not get evaluated.
If you want to add new code, just set the source to a new external JavaScript file.
So instead of using an Ajax call, you just set the src
document.getElementById('treintracking').src = "new/path.php?a=b";
Another solution [that I would avoid at all costs] is eval().
You'll probably have to embed the new javascript inside a function, which may assign new contents to other functions, and then invoke the outer function. Won't be terribly pretty.
I was wondering if this was possible to do. I know you can pull a html file and put it on your page like this, <a href='index.php?content=Contact.html'> . Is there someway to pull a webpage from a URL to your site. So instead of a link open in another tab, it would open that webpage on your current site page. If it's not possible, is there some sort of similar solution I can use.
You can use the iframe tag to display other web pages inside your own web page.
When you say:
I know you can pull a html file and put it on your page like this, <a href='index.php?content=Contact.html'>
Actually, that's not a normal feature - it's only a function of whatever index.php file is on your server, and simply displaying content referenced by a GET parameter can actually quite dangerous depending on whether you know what to protect against and how.
I guess it depends on how "embedded" in to your site you wish for it to be, but it sounds like you could use iframes.
If you want to load an external website into your site, have a look at iframes [docs].
If you want to update parts of the page with content coming from your domain and without refreshing the whole page, you can use Ajax.
Yes, it is possible. You can use AJAX to get the other file and then set the .innerHTML property of your div to the loaded content. In the simplest way, with jQuery you'll have something like this:
var data = jQuery.get("http://my.domain.com/file.html")
$('#mydiv').html(data);
you could use jquery's load() function. i would do it something like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#myDiv').load($(this).attr('href'));
}
}
I have a php script that is a bit of a mess and after a form entry, I need to get an address, and display it on a google map. The html and php is crammed into the same script so I essentially need to call the JavaScript as the PHP is happening. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Alex
You can POST your from to a different frame (or iframe), so your page would not reload. The response of your PHP file which comes back to that frame can contain JavaScript code, which will be executed. Something like:
echo('<script type="text/javascript"> alert("Executed on client side"); </script>');
No, PHP executed by the server and returns the full response to the browser. JavaScript in the page is then executed by the client.
You can't call Javascript functions from PHP. You can set the Javascript to run when the page loads instead.
What you want is something like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
var userAddress = "<?php echo $_POST['address']; ?>";
doSomethingWithAddress(userAddress);
</script>
If that code is on the page which you are POSTing the address to, it would take the address from the user, and write it into a javascript tag. The PHP will get executed first on the server, before building the HTML document. This new document has the variable available to the javascript.
I don't know how you would go about doing that, but this seems like a good place to start looking:
