Hello I'm a beginner in Ajax and PHP so sorry if my question is useless or stupid. But I am trying to do a live search with ajax and I have looked over and over internet but nothing could help me... so here I am! :-) I have 4 files one for the html, one to connect to the database, one for jQuery and the last one for the script in php. I have looked on the console with chrome and I can see that the ajax works but there is no output and I have no idea why... I'll leave you the code below and an early thank you! Also there might be some French in the code but it's just the variables and I will secure my connection to the database later. Thank you again. Html :
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>live search test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="search.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>LIVE SEARCH WITH AJAX TEST</h1>
<div class="search">
<input type="search" name="search" id="recherche">
</div>
<br>
<div class="resultat" id="resultat">
</div>
</body>
</html>
PHP to connect to the database:
<?php
$host="localhost";
$user="root";
$password="";
$db="smartphone";
$conn=mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$db);
?>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#recherche").keyup(function(){
var recherche = $(this).val();
var data = 'motclef = ' + recherche;
if (recherche.length > 1) {
$.ajax({
type : "GET",
url : "fetch.php",
data : data,
success : function(server_response){
$("#resultat").html(server_response).show();
}
});
}
});
});
And the script in PHP:
include'connect.php';
if (isset($_GET['motclef'])) {
$motclef = $_GET['motclef'];
$q = array('motclef' => $motclef. '%');
$sql = "SELECT name FROM smartphone WHERE name LIKE :motclef";
$req = $conn ->prepare($sql);
$req -> execute($q);
$count = $req->rowCount($sql);
if ($count == 1) {
while ($result = $req -> fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)) {
echo 'Smartphone :'.$result ->title.' ';
}
}else {
echo "Aucun resultat trouvé pour:". $motclef;
}
}
?>
Remove whitespace from 'motclef = 'var data = 'motclef= ' + recherche;
Other wise put underscore $_GET['motclef_'] in your PHP code(if you don't remove space then)
if (isset($_GET['motclef_'])) {
$motclef = $_GET['motclef_'];
$q = array('motclef' => $motclef. '%');
$sql = "SELECT name FROM smartphone WHERE name LIKE :motclef";
$req = $conn->prepare($sql);
$req->execute($q);
$count = $req->rowCount($sql);
if ($count == 1) {
while ($result = $req->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)) {
echo 'Smartphone :'.$result->title.' ';
}
}else {
echo "Aucun resultat trouvé pour:". $motclef;
}
}
