What I'm trying to do is calling some database data via ajax and php. But the ajax call doesn't work, and I can't find out a solution on the web.
So here is my code:
test.php
<?php
include_once 'db_class.php';
$cat = $_GET['cat'];
$dbconn = new dbconn('localhost', 'root', 'somepsw', 'blog');
$dbconn->set_query("select * from posts where category = '".$cat."'");
echo '<br/>'.$dbconn->query.'<br/>';
$result = $dbconn->result;
$num = $dbconn->num_results;
$array = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
echo json_encode($array);
?>
If i type that url on browser: http://127.0.0.1:82/blog/ws/test.php?cat=css
The data returned via jsonEncode is correct, but when i'm loading it on a html page with jquery he can't read the data.
test.html
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function ajaxCall() {
var css;
$.ajax({
url: 'test.php',
type: "GET",
data: {cat: css},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(rows)
{
alert(rows);
},
error: function() { alert("An error occurred."); }
});
}
ajaxCall();
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Thanks in advance.
Your variable css
has no value. You wanted to use the string 'css'
. Maybe you want to be able to load other categories, too. So change your ajaxCall
function to
function ajaxCall(category)
{
$.ajax({
url: 'test.php',
type: "GET",
data: {cat: category},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(rows) {
alert(rows);
},
error: function() {
alert("An error occurred.");
}
});
}
and call it using
ajaxCall('css');
I just rewrote the php code using PDO, should be more safe now.
db.php
<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpsw = "somepsw";
$dbname= "blog";
try {
@$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname", $dbuser, $dbpsw);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed, an error occured! Please contact server administrator."; //user friendly message
getErrorsLog($e->getMessage());
}
function closeDbConn () {
$dbh = null;
}
function getErrorsLog($message) {
$file = 'dberrors.log';
$date = date("d/m : H:i :");
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new error message to the file
$current .= $date.$message;
$current .= "\r\n";
// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);
exit();
}
?>
blogdata.php
<?php
include_once "db.php";
$tableName = "posts";
$data = array();
@$view = $_GET["view"];
if (isset($_GET["view"])) {
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $tableName WHERE category =? ORDER BY created DESC");
}
else {
try {
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM $tableName ORDER BY created DESC");
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
getErrorsLog($e->getMessage());
}
}
$stmt->bindValue(1, $view, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
$affected_rows = $stmt->rowCount(); //Rows count
if ($affected_rows == 0) {
echo "The data you looking for no longer exist, please contact the administrator.";
exit();
}
foreach ($stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) as $row) {
$data[] = $row;
}
echo json_encode($data);
closeDbConn();
?>
