i found out my JS sends POST method twice to my PHP file, thats why i keep getting double/repetitive results from my PHP.
This JS event, upon .keyup()
will execute an ajax.
$(document).ready(function() {
var getUrl = $('#url');
var youtube = regex here
var web = regex here
getUrl.keyup(function() {
if (youtube.test(getUrl.val())) {
var youtube_url = getUrl.val().match(youtube)[0];
$.ajax ({
type:"POST",
url:"getyoutube.php",
data: {youtube_url:youtube_url},
success: function(html) { $('.echotest').append(html); }
}); }
else if (web.test(getUrl.val())) {
var extracted_url = getUrl.val().match(web)[0];
$.post("curl_fetch.php?url="+ extracted_url, {
}, function(response){
$('#loader').html($(response).fadeIn('slow'));
$('#cur_image').val(1);
});}
});
});
the data will be received by getyoutube.php
and should only print json result of a particular youtube video once.
//some code ommitted
$youtube ="https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/'.$matches[0].'?v=2&alt=jsonc";
$curl = curl_init($youtube);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$return = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$test = json_decode($return, true);
print_r($test);
i cant seem to figure out why my AJAX post keeps sending POSTS method twice
