I am trying to delete the table entry without opening the .php file using jQuery post. The whole thing works without problems when I just use the usual html post form.
The alert(data) does not trigger, it only adds ".../?player_id_del=1" or whatever ID click into the URL.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is some of my index.php, i get the whole data from a database:
<table class = "table table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Player_ID</th>
<th>Username</th>
<th>First_Name</th>
<th>Last_Name</th>
<th>Rating</th>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Colour</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<? foreach($playerArray as $player):?>
<tr>
<td><? echo $player["PLAYER_ID"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["USERNAME"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["FIRST_NAME"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["LAST_NAME"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["RATING"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["COUNTRY"]; ?></td>
<td><? echo $player["COLOUR"]; ?></td>
<td>
<form id="del-form">
<div>
<input type="number" id="player_id_del" name="player_id_del" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($player["PLAYER_ID"]); ?>" />
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" id="submit-btn" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</div>
</form>
<script>
$("#submit-btn").click(function(){
$.post("deletePlayer.php", $("#del-form").serialize() , function(data) {
alert(data);
});
});
</script>
</td>
</tr>
<? endforeach ?>
</tbody>
</table>
Here is my deletePlayer.php:
<?php
//include DatabaseHelper.php file
require_once('DatabaseHelper.php');
//instantiate DatabaseHelper class
$database = new DatabaseHelper();
//Grab variable id from POST request
$player_id = '';
if(isset($_POST['player_id_del'])){
$player_id = $_POST['player_id_del'];
}
// Delete method
$error_code = $database->deletePlayer($player_id);
// Check result
if ($error_code == 1){
echo "Player with ID: '{$player_id}' successfully deleted!'";
}
else{
echo "Error can't delete Player with ID: '{$player_id}'. Errorcode: {$error_code}";
}
?>
Thank You in advance for any help!
