Here is an image of what I'm trying to accomplish -
Example of my Database Table -
My goal is to get a similar product to the product that is currently displaying without refreshing the page. I am trying to find similar products is by using check boxes.
I first got the id using $_GET['id'] which should be equal to one of the values in my table.
I then used PDO Fetch to get the product name, brand, quanity and price of that particular id and store it as a string.
What I need help with is using JQuery/AJAX to get the checkboxes that are checked and then send the information to a PHP file that would check if filter results match with any data from the table.
How can I do this?
This is my product.php file
<?php
require ('includes/db.php');
$id = $_GET['id']; //Getting the ID in URL. ex products.php?id=12
$stmt = $handler->prepare("SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = '$id' ");
$result = $stmt->execute(array());
$products = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$prod_name = $products['prod_name']; //Product Name
$brand = $products['brand']; //Product Brand
$quantity = $products['quantity']; //Product Quantity
$calories = $products['calories']; //Product Calories
$price = $products['price']; //Product Price
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo "$brand $prod_name"; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo $prod_name; ?></h1>
<br />
<p>Brand = <?php echo " $brand"; ?></p>
<p>Quantity = <?php echo " $quantity"; ?></p>
<p>Calories = <?php echo " $calories"; ?></p>
<p>Price = <?php echo " $price"; ?></p>
<br />
<p style="text-align: center;">Find Similar Products</p>
<form>
<div class="checkboxes">
<label>
<input name="brand" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $brand; ?>">
<span>Brand</span> <!--Brand Checkbox-->
</label>
</div>
<div class="checkboxes">
<label>
<input name="quanitity" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $quantity; ?>">
<span>Quantity</span> <!--Quantity Checkbox-->
</label>
</div>
<div class="checkboxes">
<label>
<input name="calories" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $calories; ?>">
<span>Calories</span> <!--Calories Checkbox-->
</label>
</div>
<div class="checkboxes">
<label>
<input name="price" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $price; ?>">
<span>Price</span> <!--Price Checkbox-->
</label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I managed to solve this out, glad I didn't give up.
