I'm trying to pass a simple variable from my jQuery to my php and then echo it on my HTML. It doesn't seem to work though.
I can't get my variable $result to show up on my page. Any thoughts? The Ajax POST seems to be working fine. The problem seems to be communication between php and HTML.
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='front.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $result; ?>
</body>
</html>
front.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('/back.php', {name: "Bob"}, function(data) {
});
});
back.php:
<?php $result = $_POST['name']; ?>
Try this
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='front.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
front.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('/back.php', {name: "Bob"}, function(result) {
$('body').html(result);
});
});
back.php:
<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>
Change this
<body>
<div id="show-data"></div>
</body>
And
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('/back.php', {name: "Bob"}, function(data) {
$('#show-data').html(data);
});
});
And
<?php echo $result = $_POST['name']; ?>
Puh, lot of mistakes. First, your index.html contains PHP - Code which won't be executed because this is not a PHP - Skript (ending with php). Second you are saving the value of your request to back.php in a variable, which won't be existing after the request is finished. You can either: rename index.html to index.php, exchange your statement to
<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>
and change your request to
$.get('/index.php', {name: "Bob"}, function(data) {
});
which would cause a continously reloading of the site, or store your result in a $_SESSION (see PHP Session Handling), and retrieve that in your index.php (you got to rename the file).
Change Your PHP Code :
<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>
And Also Your HTML Code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('/back.php', {name: "Bob"}, function(data) {
$('body').append(data)});
});
</script>
</html>
$result in back.php and $result in index.html aren't related. Setting it in back.php has no effect on index.html. If you echo something in back.php however, that output will be passed to the empty callback function you have in your $.post() call. You can handle the data there and use javascript to insert it into your page.
Just add the following line to your code: $('body').html(data);
Like your question we have three different files one is index.html 1) index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Site</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='front.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $result; ?>
</body>
</html>
2) front.js
$(document).load(function(){
$.ajax({
url: '/back.php',
type: 'POST',
data: 'name=Bob',
async: false,
success: function(data) {
$('body').html(data);
},
cache: false
});
});
3) back.php
<?php echo $result = $_POST['name']; ?>
Now use this, your files will work out. Please let me know if you have any queries.
