For the life of me I can't figure out why the following code is not working. I'm quite inexperienced so any assistance appreciated.
I want to get a simple connection working where an ajax call will return a username from a mySQL DB (this is a precursor to a much larger project). My HTML file is the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="jquery/test-theme.min.css"/>
<link href="jquery/jquery.mobile.icons.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="jquery/jquery.mobile.structure-1.4.5.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="jquery/app.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="jquery/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"></script>
<script> function login(){
$(document).ready(function(){
var user = $("#username")[0].value;
var email = $("#email")[0].value;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:8888/test/connection.php",
data: "username="+user+"&email="+email,
success: function(result){
if(result){
$("#message")[0].value = "Success" +result;
}
else{
$("#message")[0].value = "Fail :(";
}
},
error: function(result){
$("#message")[0].value = "Ajax error!"+result;
}
});
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="header" data-theme="c">
<h1>Sign Up!</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->
<div role="main" class="ui-content">
<h3>Sign Up</h3>
<label for="txt-first-name">Username</label>
<input type="text" name="txt-first-name" id="username" value="" onkeyup="login()">
<label for="txt-email">Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="txt-email" id="email" value="" onkeyup="login()">
<input type="text" id="message"></input>
<button id="submit" onclick="login()"> Submit</button>
<div data-role="popup" id="dlg-sign-up-sent" data-dismissible="false" style="max-width:400px;">
</div>
</div><!-- /content -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
And my PHP:
<?php
$user = $_REQUEST['username'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
mysql_connect("localhost:8889","root","root") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("TEST") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT username, email FROM login WHERE username ='$user'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
if($user = $row["username"]){
echo $row["id"];
}
else{
echo "failed getting user"
}
}
?>
I have a DB called TEST running via MAMP with some entries in the login table for username and email. I just want to get the connection running properly but I'm stumped.
