I feel like I'm probably about 90% of the way there, and just need some help with that last 10%. I've looked at a number of different examples, and tried to piece together a solution, but haven't figured it out, so I'm looking for some guidance.
I have a small html page, with a little javascript, and a short .php that is adding the received data to a database.
I can see that the code is getting into the ajax function, and then into the insert function. But it's not actually doing the insert. I suspect that it's never sending the data off to the php file, but I don't know that for sure.
Here's the html code:
<html>
<head>
<script type ="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function ajaxFunction(){
var ajaxRequest;
alert("enter ajax"); //just a testing line
try{
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
alert("Your browser broke!");
return false;
}
}
}
ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
var ajaxDisplay = document.getElementById('responseDiv');
ajaxDisplay.innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText;
}
}
alert("enter insert"); //just for testing
var type = $('#type').val();
var vintner = $('#vintner').val();
var myData = {"type": type, "vintner": vintner,};
$.ajax({
url: "bottleAdd.php",
type: "POST",
data: "myData",
success: function(data, status, xhr)
{
$("$bottleAdd").html(data);
$("type").val();
$("vintner").val();
}
});
}
</script>
<title>Simple Add</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
</head>
<body>
<div id="addBottle">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Type: <input type="text" id="type" /></td>
<td>Vintner: <input type="text" id="vintner" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><button onClick="ajaxFunction()">Save Bottle Now</button></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div id="responseDiv">Response will appear here</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the php
<?php
require_once 'login.php';
$conn = mysqli_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password, $db_database) or die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
$wineType = $_POST['type'];
$vintner = $_POST['vintner'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO bottleSimple (winetype, vintner)"
. " values ('$wineType', '$vintner')";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Successfully Inserted";
} else {
echo "Insertion Failed<br />";
echo $sql;
}
?>
I know there are some things to do in the php (prevent sql injection for example). But right now, I'm less concerned about that, and more about just figuring out how to get this to run correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
