why i am getting empty response text in ajax?

below is my code fo ajax which sends a string data via post method, the request is successful but I get an empty response. I had checked the readystate and status both are proper and the php file is in the same directory.
function getData(str)
{
if (str == "")
{
} else
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
var dat = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else
{
dat = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
dat.open("POST","userdat.php",true);
dat.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
dat.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
if (dat.readyState == 4 && dat.status == 200)
{
alert(dat.responseText);
$('#dataReT').text(dat.responseText);
}
}
dat.send("userid=" + str);
}
}
content of my php file:
<?php
$id=$_REQUEST['userid'];
echo $id;
?>

there is no userid in $_REQUEST. Try to add this to your php file:
if(array_key_exists('userid',$_REQUEST)) {
echo $_REQUEST['userid'];
} else {
echo 'no userid.';
}
You may send userid value from your javascript file

PHP write file works, but says false

I don't have much experience with PHP, but what I'm trying to do is to write content to a file. For some reason the content is written to the file, but still returns 'failed to write to file!' with the 400 status code. But the contents are successfully written to the file. How?
php code (update.php):
<?php
//get root and page of request
$content_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/Animagie/content';
$page = $_POST['page'];
//open the correct contentfile
$content_file = fopen($content_root . '/' . $page, 'w');
if (isset($_POST[$page . '-content'])) {
if (fwrite($content_file, $_POST[$page . '-content']) === FALSE ) {
echo 'failed to write to file!';
fclose($content_file);
http_response_code(400);
} else {
fclose($content_file);
http_response_code(200);
}
} else {
echo 'something went wrong!';
fclose($content_file);
http_response_code(400);
}
?>
I call update.php with following code:
editor.addEventListener('saved', function(e) {
var name, payload, regions, xhr;
//check if something changed
regions = e.detail().regions;
if (Object.keys(regions).length === 0) {
return;
}
//set editor busy while saving
this.busy(true);
// Collect the contents of each region into a FormData instance
payload = new FormData();
payload.append('page', getCurrentPage());
for (name in regions) {
if (regions.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
payload.append(name, regions[name]);
}
}
// Send the updated content to the server to be saved
function onStateChange(e) {
//check if request is finished
if (e.target.readyState === 4) {
editor.busy(false);
if (e.target.status === '200') {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('ok');
} else {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('no');
}
}
}
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener('readystatechange', onStateChange);
xhr.open('POST', '../api/update.php');
xhr.send(payload);
});
As you probably can tell it's quiet important to get the correct statuscode since I check for it and return if it's succesfull or not to the user. Anyone able to help me?
Thanks in advance!

Apperently the problem lays in the javascript check:
if (e.target.status === '200') {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('ok');
} else {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('no');
}
should be
if (e.target.status == 200) {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('ok');
} else {
new ContentTools.FlashUI('no');
}
Also after I switched the if-statement (like told by #Jon Stirling), postman wasn't refreshed yet. So it was partially a wrong if-statement on the server side & wrong if-statement on the client side.

Ajax posting on localhost but not on VPS host

I've been facing this issue for many days i've searched the whole internet fixed my php.ini even the ngnix.confg file
Please tell me if anything is wrong with the code
i've edited the Cropper Plugin not to download but replace the current image.
so what i did i used the ajax post to do it.
PS: Ajax is sending huge data in post since it's a canvas and this whole process is working fine on localhost but not working on server. The whole site is on laravel but this code is on native php.
I've also figured out that if image is small then it's working fine and if image is large then it's not working on server.
AJAX code in main.js file
$('.docs-buttons').on('click', '[data-method]', function () {
var $this = $(this);
var data = $this.data();
var $target;
var result;
if ($this.prop('disabled') || $this.hasClass('disabled')) {
return;
}
if ($image.data('cropper') && data.method) {
data = $.extend({}, data); // Clone a new one
if (typeof data.target !== 'undefined') {
$target = $(data.target);
if (typeof data.option === 'undefined') {
try {
data.option = JSON.parse($target.val());
} catch (e) {
console.log(e.message);
}
}
}
if (data.method === 'rotate') {
$image.cropper('clear');
}
result = $image.cropper(data.method, data.option, data.secondOption);
if (data.method === 'rotate') {
$image.cropper('crop');
}
switch (data.method) {
case 'scaleX':
case 'scaleY':
$(this).data('option', -data.option);
break;
case 'getCroppedCanvas':
if (result) {
var temp = $(' #image').attr('src');
jQuery.ajax({
url: '../../cropper/demo/save.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {
data: result.toDataURL('image/jpeg'),
name: temp,
},
complete: function(data, status)
{
console.log(data.responseText);
if(status=='success')
{
$('#image').cropper("replace", temp);
}
else
{
alert('Error has been occurred');
}
}
});
}
break;
}
if ($.isPlainObject(result) && $target) {
try {
$target.val(JSON.stringify(result));
} catch (e) {
console.log(e.message);
}
}
}
});
save.php (To store the image on server)
<?php
$based64Image=substr($_POST['data'], strpos($_POST['data'], ',')+1);
$fileName='';
$fileName = substr($_POST['name'], 34);
$image = imagecreatefromstring(base64_decode($based64Image));
if($image != false)
{
if(!imagejpeg($image,"..\..\images\image\\".$fileName))
{
// fail;
}
}
else
{
// fail;
}
?>

How to retrieve a php form with AJAX at specific time spans

I want to display a form with a script I adapted from this question. The script is in a file I wrote called queries.js, and its purpose is to print the content of a php form called "dbMinAlert.php" in a div like this <div id="recentExits" name="recentExits"></div> located in my project's index, I tried invoking getNewData(); in my index.php file using this tag <body onLoad="getNewData()"> but it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
var data_array = ''; // this is a global variable
function getNewData() {
$.ajax({
url: "dbMinAlert.php",
})
.done(function(res) {
data_array = res; // the global variable is updated here and accessible elsewhere
getNewDataSuccess();
})
.fail(function() {
// handle errors here
})
.always(function() {
// we've completed the call and updated the global variable, so set a timeout to make the call again
setTimeout(getNewData, 2000);
});
}
function getNewDataSuccess() {
//console.log(data_array);
document.getElementById("recentExits").innerHTML=data_array;
}
getNewData();`
---This php code works and it actually does what I expect it to do. The real problem is the javascript, for all I care the next php form could print a "Hello world" message, but I want it displayed inside the div I placed in my index, without having to post a thing to dbMinAlert.php.
define("HOST", "localhost");
define("DBUSER", "root");
define("PASS", "password");
define("DB", "mydb");
// Database Error - User Message
define("DB_MSG_ERROR", 'Could not connect!<br />Please contact the site\'s administrator.');
$conn = mysql_connect(HOST, DBUSER, PASS) or die(DB_MSG_ERROR);
$db = mysql_select_db(DB) or die(DB_MSG_ERROR);
$query = mysql_query("
SELECT *
FROM outputs, products
WHERE products.idProduct=outputs.idProduct
ORDER BY Date DESC, Time DESC limit 5
");
echo '<ul class="news">';
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$date = date_create($data['Date']);
$time = date_create($data['Time']);
echo '<li><figure><strong>'.date_format($date,'d').'</strong>'.date_format($date,'M').date_format($date,'Y').'</figure>'.$data["idProduct"]." ".$data['prodName'].'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

You have to execute the function for the first time.
getNewData();

It could be the way you are returning the result from php. Instead of doing multiple echo, could you first assign your result in single php variable and finally do single echo.
$result = '<ul class="news">';
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$date = date_create($data['Date']);
$time = date_create($data['Time']);
$result = $result + '<li><figure><strong>'.date_format($date,'d').'</strong>'.date_format($date,'M').date_format($date,'Y').'</figure>'.$data["idProduct"]." ".$data['prodName'].'</li>';}
$result = $result + '</ul>';
echo $result;

I found a solution in this question and my code ended up Like this.
I just had to invoke the function in my index by typing <body onload="return getOutput();">
JavaScript
//Min-Max Alerts
// handles the click event for link 1, sends the query
function getOutput() {
getRequest(
'dbMinAlert.php', // URL for the PHP file
drawOutput, // handle successful request
drawError // handle error
);
return false;
}
// handles drawing an error message
function drawError() {
var container = document.getElementById('recentExits');
container.innerHTML = 'Bummer: there was an error!';
}
// handles the response, adds the html
function drawOutput(responseText) {
var container = document.getElementById('recentExits');
container.innerHTML = responseText;
}
// helper function for cross-browser request object
function getRequest(url, success, error) {
var req = false;
try{
// most browsers
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e){
// IE
try{
req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch(e) {
// try an older version
try{
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch(e) {
return false;
}
}
}
if (!req) return false;
if (typeof success != 'function') success = function () {};
if (typeof error!= 'function') error = function () {};
req.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(req.readyState == 4) {
return req.status === 200 ?
success(req.responseText) : error(req.status);
}
}
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send(null);
return req;
}

window.location not firing after ajax event

I'm not sure if this is related to an ajax call or not. I'm very new to Ajax, and so I suspect it is the cause.
I run the following javascript:
function GetXmlHttpObject() {
"use strict";
var objXMLHttp = null;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
objXMLHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
objXMLHttp = new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return objXMLHttp;
}
function delete_director(i) {
"use strict";
var r, url;
r = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to disable this director");
url = "ajax.php?task=director&event=delete&UserId=" + i;
if (r === true) {
mdata = new GetXmlHttpObject();
if (mdata === null) {
alert("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
mdata.open("GET", url, true);
mdata.send(null);
}
}
And that calls into the following php function:
function deletedirector()
{
$UserId=mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['UserId']);
$query = "update tbl_users set IsDisabled='1' where UserId=".$UserId;
$result = mysql_query($query) OR die('Cannot perform query!');
if ($result) {
error_log("a");
?><script type="text/javascript">window.location='index.php?task=director&success=Director Successfully Deleted.'</script><?
} else {
error_log("b");
?><script type="text/javascript">window.location='index.php?task=director&error=Director Deletion Failed.'</script><?
}
}
The db shows that the director was deleted, and "a" prints in the error log, but the window.location never fires.
The user experience is that the browser prompts for confirmation, and after that - nothing. A javascript console shows now error.
Any ideas?

You already return new object (of XMLHttpRequest API) with function, so you don't need new here
...
if (r === true) {
mdata = GetXmlHttpObject();
...
and try to use onreadystatechange like this
mdata.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (mdata.readyState === 4) {
alert("some text");
} else {
alert(mdata.status);
}
};
