来自循环的$ .post调用

Question

I have an ul with 9 li elements. I want to load some information to these li elements through ajax in asynch mode.

It's so simple, isn't it?

I just created a for(i = 1; i<=9; i++) loop, and called the $.post.

Fail: i will be always 10, because the for loop running more faster, then the $.post. So let's search the $.post in loop on net.

I found three solutions. Two are here, and one is here.

All of it has the same effect: does not works asynchronously. Every time it load the first, then second, then third etc... Sometimes the order is changing, but every request wait while the previous finish.

I am using WIN 10 64bit, Apache 2.4 64 bit, php 5.6 64bit. Already tried on debian box, effect is the same.

In my php file, there is a sleep(1) and an echo 'a'.

My first attempt:

$('.chartContainer').each(function(index,obj) {
    var cnt = index + 1;
    $.post(getBaseUrl() + 'ajax.php', {dateTime: $('#chart_' + cnt).data('time'), action: 'getChartByDateTime'}, function (reponse) {
        $(obj).html(reponse);
    });
});

My second attempt:

for (var i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
    (function (i) {
        var $obj = $('#chart_' + i);
        $.post(getBaseUrl() + 'ajax.php', {dateTime: $('#chart_' + i).data('time'), action: 'getChartByDateTime'}, function (reponse) {
            $($obj).html(reponse);
        });
    })(i);
}

My third attempt:

function loadResponse(i) {
    var $obj = $('#chart_' + i);
    $.post(getBaseUrl() + 'ajax.php', {dateTime: $('#chart_' + i).data('time'), action: 'getChartByDateTime'}, function (reponse) {
        $($obj).html(reponse);
    });
}

$(function () {
    for (i = 1; i<=9; i++) {
        loadResponse(i);
    }
});

Expected result:

Every 9 li loaded in 1 second in the same time.

Can somebody lead me to the right solution?

EDIT

Maybe I was not clear. In the production, the script will run for approx. 3 seconds. If I send one request to get all the data back, then it will take 9*3 = 27 seconds while the response arrives. This is why I want to send 9 request, and get back all the data in 3 seconds. I think this is why we use threads.

What I want is to get all the data for all li in the "same" time. Not one by one, or get all in one request.

EDIT 2

Ok guys, shame on me, I think I mislead all of you. There is a session start in my php script.

If I remove everything, and then just echo something and die after sleep. In this case 5 request is responding in 1 sec, other 4 is later. But I think that is a new thred.

Answer 1

From the jQuery manual:

By default, all requests are sent asynchronously (i.e. this is set to true by default). If you need synchronous requests, set this option to false. Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation. Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active.

Are you sure the requests are not sent by your browser? It is possible your php script does not allow multiple sessions. Have you tried inspecting the ajax calls with firebug/chrome inspector?

Edit:

PHP writes its session data to a file by default. When a request is made to a PHP script that starts the session (session_start()), this session file is locked. What this means is that if your web page makes numerous requests to PHP scripts, for instance, for loading content via Ajax, each request could be locking the session and preventing the other requests from completing.

The other requests will hang on session_start() until the session file is unlocked. This is especially bad if one of your Ajax requests is relatively long-running.

Possible solutions:

1. Do not use sessions when you don't need them

2. Close your session after reading/writing the necessary information:

   session_write_close(); 
   

3. Store your sessions in Redis/mySQL for example
