I have searched a lot of tutorials with POST methods and saw answered questions here too but my POST still doesn't work...I thought i should post it here if you guys see something that i don't!
My js - messages.js:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#send").click(function()
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: base_url + "chat/post_action",
data: {textbox: $("#textbox").val()},
dataType: "text",
cache:false,
success:
function(data){
alert(data); //as a debugging message.
}
return false;
});
});
My view - chat.php:
<?php $this->load->js(base_url().'themes/chat/js/messages.js');?> //i use mainframe framework which loading script this way is valid
<form method="post">
<input id="textbox" type="text" name="textbox">
<input id="send" type="submit" name="send" value="Send">
</form>
Last My controller - chat.php
//more functions here
function post_action()
{
if($_POST['textbox'] == "")
{
$message = "You can't send empty text";
}
else
{
$message = $_POST['textbox'];
}
echo $message;
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#send").click(function()
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: base_url + "chat/post_action",
data: {textbox: $("#textbox").val()},
dataType: "text",
cache:false,
success:
function(data){
alert(data); //as a debugging message.
}
});// you have missed this bracket
return false;
});
});
In codeigniter there is no need to sennd "data" in ajax post method..
here is the example .
searchThis = 'This text will be search';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo site_url();?>/software/search/"+searchThis,
dataType: "html",
success:function(data){
alert(data);
},
});
Note : in url , software is the controller name , search is the function name and searchThis is the variable that i m sending.
Here is the controller.
public function search(){
$search = $this->uri->segment(3);
echo '<p>'.$search.'</p>';
}
I hope you can get idea for your work .
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class UserController extends CI_Controller {
public function verifyUser() {
$userName = $_POST['userName'];
$userPassword = $_POST['userPassword'];
$status = array("STATUS"=>"false");
if($userName=='admin' && $userPassword=='admin'){
$status = array("STATUS"=>"true");
}
echo json_encode ($status) ;
}
}
function makeAjaxCall(){
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "http://localhost/CodeIgnitorTutorial/index.php/usercontroller/verifyUser",
cache: false,
data: $('#userForm').serialize(),
success: function(json){
try{
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(json);
alert( obj['STATUS']);
}catch(e) {
alert('Exception while request..');
}
},
error: function(){
alert('Error while request..');
}
});
}
The question has already been answered but I thought I would also let you know that rather than using the native PHP $_POST I reccomend you use the CodeIgniter input class so your controller code would be
function post_action()
{
if($this->input->post('textbox') == "")
{
$message = "You can't send empty text";
}
else
{
$message = $this->input->post('textbox');
}
echo $message;
}
