An AJAX function into a js script
// magic.js
$(document).ready(function() {
// process the form
$('form').submit(function(event) {
$('.form-group').removeClass('has-error'); // remove the error class
$('.help-block').remove(); // remove the error text
// get the form data
// there are many ways to get this data using jQuery (you can use the class or id also)
var formData = {
'game' : $('input[name=game]').val(),
'question' : $('input[name=question]').val(),
'option' : $('input[name=option[]]').val(),
'choice' : $('input[name=choice]').val()
};
// process the form
$.ajax({
type : 'POST', // define the type of HTTP verb we want to use (POST for our form)
url : 'process.php', // the url where we want to POST
data : formData, // our data object
dataType : 'json', // what type of data do we expect back from the server
encode : true
})
// using the done promise callback
.done(function(data) {
// log data to the console so we can see
console.log(data);
// here we will handle errors and validation messages
if ( ! data.success) {
// handle errors for game ---------------
if (data.errors.game) {
$('#game-group').addClass('has-error'); // add the error class to show red input
$('#game-group').append('<div class="help-block">' + data.errors.game + '</div>'); // add the actual error message under our input
}
// handle errors for question ---------------
if (data.errors.question) {
$('#question-group').addClass('has-error'); // add the error class to show red input
$('#question-group').append('<div class="help-block">' + data.errors.question + '</div>'); // add the actual error message under our input
}
// handle errors for option ---------------
if (data.errors.option) {
$('#option-group').addClass('has-error'); // add the error class to show red input
$('#option-group').append('<div class="help-block">' + data.errors.option + '</div>'); // add the actual error message under our input
}
// handle errors for choice ---------------
if (data.errors.choice) {
$('#choice-group').addClass('has-error'); // add the error class to show red input
$('#choice-group').append('<div class="help-block">' + data.errors.choice + '</div>'); // add the actual error message under our input
}
} else {
// ALL GOOD! just show the success message!
$('form').append('<div class="alert alert-success">' + data.message + '</div>');
// usually after form submission, you'll want to redirect
// window.location = '/thank-you'; // redirect a user to another page
}
})
// using the fail promise callback
.fail(function(data) {
// show any errors
// best to remove for production
console.log(data);
});
// stop the form from submitting the normal way and refreshing the page
event.preventDefault();
});
});
And a process.php
<?php
//Include configuration file
include('includes/config.php');
//Define variables
$question=$_POST['question'];
$game=$_POST['game'];
$option=$_POST['option'];
$choice=$_POST['choice'];
//Generate random number
$rand_value=rand();
//Create temporary folder
mkdir($rand_value);
//Copy page of Ask Poll
copy('page.php', $rand_value . '/page.php');
rename($rand_value . '/page.php', $rand_value . '/index.php');
//Add data into database
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password) or die ("Errore di connessione!");
mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ("Impossibile selezionare database!");
$sql1="CREATE TABLE `" . $rand_value . "` (Question VARCHAR(200), Options VARCHAR(200), Choice INT(11))";
mysql_query($sql1) or die ("Impossibile eseguire la query!");
//Count number of Options available
$count=count($option);
for ($i=0; $i<($count-1); $i++)
{
${$sql . $i}="INSERT INTO `" . $rand_value . "` (Question, Options, Choice) VALUES ('$question', '$option[$i]', '$choice')";
mysql_query(${$sql . $i});
}
?>
But when i send the form, the page redirect me to process.php
I don't want that the site refresh the page
EDIT
Werner, I followed your suggestion adding preventDefault but it doesn't work :(
