I have this part of code in php . when player press button in client (using ajax) I want my database show next record. but I won't.
if(isset($_POST['req'])){
$counter++;
$sql = "SELECT question FROM mytable WHERE id = $counter";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo $row["id"]." ". $row["question"]. " " . "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
}
I would suggest storing your counter in a session. Then each time a player does this action you can give them the next row like so :-
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['req'])){
if ( ! isset($_SESSION['counter']) ) {
$_SESSION['counter'] = 1;
} else {
$_SESSION['counter'] = $_SESSION['counter'] + 1;
}
$sql = "SELECT question FROM mytable WHERE id = {$_SESSION['counter']}";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ( ! $result ) {
// log error to error log
error_log(print_r($conn->errorinfo(),true), 3, 'app_error.log');
echo "Temporary database issues, please try again later";
header('Location: error_page.php');
exit;
}
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
echo $row["id"]." ". $row["question"]. " " . "<br>";
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
}
The easy way is to send the current id along in the Ajax request. Increment it then use it to pull the next question from your database
