I am new to JQUERY and I am trying to search for the something and based on the searched text I am doing an ajax call which will call php function and the PHP is returning me with JSON data. I want to display the returned data in the Datatable form. I have my PHP file table.php and JavaScript file jss.js and my main.php. The PHP file is returning the JSON data and I able to use alert to display it.
I want to know how can I display it in datatable.
<div>
<input type="text" name="search_query" id="search_query" placeholder="Search Client" size="50" autocomplete="off"/>
<button id="search" name="submit">Search</button>
</div>
my ajax/jss.js file
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#search').click(function(){
var search_query = $('#search_query').val();
if(search_query !='')
{
$.ajax({
url:"table.php",
method:"POST",
data:{search_query:search_query},
success: function(data)
{
alert("HEKKI "+data);
}
});
}
else
{
alert("Please Search again");
}
});
});
my table.php file
<?php
$data=array();
$dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','acdc') OR die('Could not connect because: '.mysqli_connect_error());
if (isset($_REQUEST['search_query']))
{
$name = $_REQUEST['search_query'];
}
if($dbc)
{
if (!empty($name))
{
$sql = "select c.res1 res1,
cc.res2 res2,
cc.res3 res3,
cc.res4 res4,
cc.res5 res5
from table1 c
inner join table2 cc
on c.id = cc.id
where c.name like '".$name."%'
and cc.ENABLED = 1";
$res = mysqli_query($dbc,$sql);
if(!(mysqli_num_rows($res)==0))
{
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
$data['RES1'] = $row['res1'];
$data['RES2'] = $row['res2'];
$data['RES3'] = $row['res3'];
$data['RES4'] = $row['res4'];
$data['RES5'] = $row['res5'];
}
}
else
{
echo "<div style='display: block; color:red; text-align:center'><br/> Not Found,Please try again!!!</div>";
}
}
}
echo json_encode($data);
/*
*/
?>
Can you please guide me how to display the result in main page.
Setting utf8 as charset is probably a good idea. If you have different charset in your table you will get a JSON error :
mysqli_set_charset($dbc, 'utf8');
Then use mysqli_fetch_assoc
instead of mysqli_fetch_array
. You want field: value
records turned into JSON :
$data = array();
while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) {
$data[] = $row;
}
Output the JSON :
echo json_encode( array('data' => $data) );
Now you can use it directly along with dataTables :
<table id="example"></table>
$('#example').DataTable({
ajax: {
url: 'table.php'
},
columns: [
{ data: 'res1', title: 'res1'},
{ data: 'res2', title: 'res2'},
//etc..
]
})
one approach is to create the form fulfiled with data just in table.php
file and with support of jQuery you will need to populate the <form id="form_id">
with ajax result $('#form_id').html(ajax_response);
other aproach: to use jQuery json data to populate every field separately.
var jsonData = JSON.parse( ajax_response ); // decode json
than
$('#id_input_1').val(jsonData.RES1);
$('#id_input_2').val(jsonData.RES2);
$('#id_input_3').val(jsonData.RES3);
Place a placeholder
in this case I used #results
, and dynamically create a table and append it to the placeholder
. I commented out your ajax for this example, but just call the function
I created to process the results from within the success
callback and pass the new function
a javascript object.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#search').click(function() {
var search_query = $('#search_query').val();
if (search_query != '') {
//$.ajax({
// url: "table.php",
// method: "POST",
// data: {
// search_query: search_query
// },
// success: function(data) {
// alert("HEKKI " + data);
// }
//});
processResults({RES1: "result1", RES2: "result2"});
} else {
alert("Please Search again");
}
});
});
function processResults(obj){
var $tbl = $("<table>");
var $row = $("<tr>");
var trow;
$.each(obj, function(idx, elem){
trow = $row.clone();
trow.append($("<td>" + obj[idx] + "</td>"));
$tbl.append(trow);
});
$("#results").append($tbl);
}
