So I didn't found what I was looking for in last two days.
To be clear I have a table "tracks" in my database. So I can show from "tracks" the "demo" field wich is an audio file "url"..
<?= $tracks['demo']; ?>
I have multiple url's but then I need to replace the a href
<a href="<?php echo $tracks['demo'];?>"
in a logical way.
In simple terms it's like I want to click on button 1 that loads url 1 into this a href with the ID, title field from that track.
When you press button 2 you need to load another url and replace url 1 with url2.
I tried many ways including javascript but it won't work.
Problem now is that when I list 4 items it always loads the latest "URL" i have posted in my source code. :)
When I echo out <?php echo $tracks['demo]; ?> on all items I can see the correct url's so the functionality to replace the url is my issue.
* I basically want to load many mp3 url's in a player I made in the footer of my website. It works by hardcoding the urls in the url field but this is not what it should be... *
Code:
<?php while($tracks = mysqli_fetch_assoc($muziek)) : ?>
<div class="col-md-2 viny" id="muziek">
<h4><?= $tracks['title']; ?></h4>
<img src="<?= $tracks['img']; ?>"
alt=" <?= $tracks['title']; ?> />
<p class="artist">Artist: <?= $tracks['artist']; ?></p>
</div>
<?= $tracks['demo'] = $audiourl ; ?>
<button type="button" onclick="play">Play</button>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
*THIS LOOPS PERFECT FOR ALL ITEMS TRACKS ARE LISTED PERFECT *
In my player I have
<a href="<?php echo $audiourl;?>" ><?= $tracks['artist']; ?></b> - <?= $tracks['title']; ?></a>
function play(){
I'm not good at JS... And this is my issue because it now loads the latest output from the php loop... }
I don't know how you are replacing it but
Why not pass the audio in the function. Here like this
<button type="button" onclick="play(<?= $tracks['demo'] = $audiourl ; ?>)">Play</button>
assign a id to anchor tag
<a id="someId" href="<?php echo $audiourl;?>" ><?= $tracks['artist']; ?></b> - <?= $tracks['title']; ?></a>
and in the play function, you receive it like this
function play(audioUrl){
}
and change the href like this in the play function
If you are using jquery
$('#someId').attr("href", audioUrl);
sometimes the above does not works. Can't remember why but if that does not works try this
$('#someId').href = audioUrl
If you are using javascript
document.getElementById('abcd').href = audioUrl
So I tried many things but I had many issues with the player it's js file using the same id's and so on.
The new logic I tried out seems to work:
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Play" name="Play">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["Play"]))
{
echo $tracks['demo'];
}else{
echo ' ';
}
?>
There is more going on but I tried to write it down as simple as this to show the logic. All Track url's are hidden and when the page loads there is an empty $audiourl by default loaded in the a href from my audioplayer. By clicking the button play I show the url in the source but not on the site. Then the latest $audiourl variable changes to this value.
