I have a strange problem. I am getting the table values using PHP MySQL using a while loop and stored them in a array. Then I am displaying it one after another in a single page.
$sql = "select * from newsfeed order by id DESC";
$result = $db->query($sql);
$posts_array = array(); // Storing the result to an Custom Array
$index = 0;
if($result->num_rows > 0)
{
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$posts_array[$index] = $row;
$index++;
}
}
I have successfully set the $post_id of the posts on to the HTML elements using the following code.
<?php
$array_size = sizeof($posts_array);
for($i = 0; $i < $array_size; $i++){
?>
<div class='wrapper' id='wrapper'>
<div class='user'>
<!-- Some Code -->
<?php
$post_id = $posts_array[$i][id];
?>
<input type='image' name='like' id='like' width='40' height='40' src='like_btn.png' value='<?php echo ($post_id);'?> />
<?php } ?>
Now I want to take that value using Jquery and do some Database Work. I have accessed the value using the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function justsomething() {
alert($(this).val());
}
</script>
The problem is I am only getting the last post's id as alert() for every post rather than getting different id's . Please help me. I am confused whether the PHP script is loading every time I click and call the justsomething() function.
Note: I can display the $post_id of every post alone without any problem.
Beacuse the id
should be unique to one html element try changing your code to this :
<?php $array_size = sizeof($posts_array); for($i = 0; $i < $array_size; $i++){ ?>
<input type='image' name='like_<?php echo $i ?>' id='like_<?php echo $i ?>' width='40' height='40' src='like_btn.png' value='<?php echo $post_id;?>' onclick='justsomething(this);' />
<?php } ?>
<script>
function justsomething(el) {
var img = el;
alert(img.value);
}
</script>
here is an example
function justsomething(el) {
var img = el;
alert(img.value);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type='image' name='like_1' id='like_1' width='40' height='40' src='like_btn.png' value='15454' onclick='justsomething(this);' />
</div>
Try this code:
onclick='justsomething(this)'
function justsomething(obj) {
alert($(obj).val());
}
It works for loop, I hope You can make use of it
$("input[id=like]").each(function(i){ alert($(this).val()); });
It will alert values from every <input id="like"...
