I try to make a product comparison
My problem is the ajax, it seems does not insert the checkbox value inside a session.
Thank you.
I started y that
<div><input type="checkbox" value="1" id="P1" /> P1</div>
<div><input type="checkbox" value="2" id="P2" /> P2</div>
<div><input type="checkbox" value="3" id="P3" /> P3</div>
<div id="container" style="display:none;">
<div class="col-md-12 alert alert-info text-md-center">
<a href="products_compare">Compare</div>
</div>
</div>
the script
<script>
$(function() {
$('input[type=checkbox]').change(function(){
var chkArray = [];
$('#container').html('');
//put the selected checkboxes values in chkArray[]
$('input[type=checkbox]:checked').each(function() {
chkArray.push($(this).val());
});
//If chkArray is not empty show the <div> and create the list
if(chkArray.length !== 0){
$('#container').show();
$.each(chkArray, function(i, val) {
$('<p>').text(chkArray[i]).appendTo('#container');
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url : "http://localhost/shop/ext/ajax/products_compare/compare.php",
data : {product_id:chkArray[i]},
success : function(resp){
alert("Product is added to be compared");
}
});
});
}else{
$('#container').hide();
$('#container').html('');
}
});
})
the ajax file
$product_id = $_POST['product_id'];
if(!is_array($_SESSION['ids'])) {
$_SESSION['ids'] = [];
} else {
array_push($_SESSION['ids'], $product_id);
}
You need to add session_start();
before you use the $_SESSION
variable. You should check if $_SESSION['ids']
is set by using isset()
.
session_start();
$product_id = $_POST['product_id'];
$_SESSION['ids'] = $product_id;
This should work now, please check it.
Nevertheless, I would restructure your JavaScript code in order to reduce the number of requests send. At the moment, you are sending a separate request for every checkbox checked instead of just sending one array (just remove the $.each
loop).
if(chkArray.length !== 0){
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url : "http://localhost/test/test2.php",
data : {product_id: chkArray},
success : function(resp){
alert("Product is added to be compared");
}
});
}
Please keep in mind that you are now adding an array to the array every time you do a POST.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 3
)
)
