This question already has an answer here:
im trying to pass a js variable(a value that i get when user selects a random option in select dropdown menu) into a php variable so i can check the attributes of the selected option in my database..
Option is the name of the AD and value is actually its ID in the database.
When user selects an option method getSelected() gets called. In this method i first try to pass the ID value stored in js ( value = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value; ) to a PHP variable using AJAX. The file i am writing in is actually "uredi.php". So I am wondering what I am doing wrong here. I am open to any suggestions.
I create a select box with php which works fine.
The problem is the error:
Undefined index: suggestion in C:\xampp\htdocs\mod\sub\uredi.php on line 38
here is the code:
<body>
<div class="generalBox">
<form class="generalForm" action="" method="POST">
<label class="headLabel">UREDI</label>
<br>
<br>
<script>
var value;
var opis;
var datumz;
var datumk;
var pr;
var format;
document.write(<?php echo json_encode(getCurrentAds()); ?>);
function getSelected(){
var e = document.getElementById("ogSelect");
value = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
console.log(value);
$.post("uredi.php", {
suggestion: value
}, function(data, status){
$("#test").html(data);
});
<?php $id = $_POST['suggestion']; ?>
}
}
</script>
<br>
<br>
<input class="inputTextSub" id="opisE" name="opisE" type="text">
<br>
<br>
<input class="inputTextSub" id="datumzE" name="datumzE" type="date">
<br>
<br>
<input class="inputTextSub" id="datumkE" name="datumkE" type="date">
<br>
<br>
<label class="inputTextSub">prioriteta</label>
<select class="inputSelSub" id="prE">
<option value=1>1</option>
<option value=2>2</option></select>
<br>
<br>
<label class="inputTextSub">format</label>
<select class="inputSelSub" id="formatE">
<option value=1>A3</option>
<option value=2>A4</option></select>
<br>
<br>
<input type="file" name="fileE" id="fileE" class="inputfile" />
<br>
<br>
<p id="test" class="inputTextSub"></label>
<input class="button" style="margin-top:2em;" name="saveE" type="submit" value=" shrani ">
</from>
</div>
</body>
here is the getCurrentAds() if you are wondering...
function getCurrentAds(){
$dropDown='';
$query = 'SELECT `oglas_id`,`naziv` FROM `deska` WHERE `mod_id`='.$_SESSION['mod_id'].';';
$result = mysqli_query($GLOBALS['conn'],$query);
$rows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($rows > 0){
$dropDown = '<select onclick="getSelected()" class="inputSelAds" id="ogSelect" name="ogSelect">';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$dropDown = $dropDown.'<option value="'.$row['oglas_id'].'">'.$row['naziv'].'</option>';
}
$dropDown = $dropDown.'</select>';
}else{
$dropDown = '<select><option value=""></option></select>';
}
return $dropDown;}
</div>
