Study jQuery from online tutorial, find many tutorials, just find one simple maybe good for newbie. Here is the code for index.html:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>
Autocompletement
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="suggest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" name="suggest" placeholder="Type a Country Name..." onkeyup="suggestion()"/>
<div id="autosuggest"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here is the code for suggest.php:
<?php
include "connect.php";
function auto($data){
global $mysqli;
$data = $_GET['data'];
$query = "SELECT code, name_en
FROM countries
WHERE name_en LIKE '%$data%'
OR code LIKE '%$data%'";
$items = '<ul class="suggestion">';
if($result = $mysqli->query($query)){
/* fetch associative array */
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
$items .= '<li>'.$row['name_en'] . ' ' . $row['code'].'</li>';
}
$items .= '</ul>';
}else{
$items = "No results Found...";
}
echo $items;
}
auto();
?>
Here is the code for suggest.js
function suggestion(){
var suggestVal = $('#suggest').val();
if(suggestVal != ''){
$.ajax({
url: 'suggest.php?data='+suggestVal,
success: function(data){
$('#autosuggest').html(data);
}
})
}
}
The result above will only show "No results Found...", it seems that processing file suggest.php is not working, then I test it with a test file test.php:
$mysqli = new mysqli("host","user","pass","database");
//auto();
$data = $_GET['input'];
//$data = "ca";
$query2 = "SELECT code, name_en FROM countries WHERE name_en LIKE '%$data%' OR code LIKE '%$data%'";
echo "<br>" .$query2;
echo "<br>";
if($mysqli){
echo "Yes SQL";echo "<br>";
}else{
echo "No SQL";echo "<br>";
}
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT code, name_en FROM countries WHERE name_en LIKE '%$data%' OR code LIKE '%$data%'");
if($result->num_rows){
echo "Yes Result";echo "<br>";
}else{
echo "No Result";echo "<br>";
}
The weird thing is that I cannot find anything wrong with my code, checked php.net sample and seems all to be good? But when I check vam_dump($result) then it is "null", any helps will appreciated.
Here is the test.php output:
SELECT code, name_en FROM countries WHERE name_en LIKE '%ch%' OR code LIKE '%ch%'
Yes SQL
No Result
