AJAX redirect to another php file and pass javascript variable to that same php file

I am new to Ajax. I have here a function that when a button is clicked, you should be redirected to id.php and at the same time pass the value of clicked_id.
Javascript code:
function clicked(clicked_id){
window.alert("clicked");
window.alert(clicked_id);
$.post('id.php',{ID:clicked_id},
function(data){
window.alert("here");
window.location='id.php';
});
}
Inside my id.php,
<?php
$clickedID = $_GET['ID'];
echo 'here at id.php';
echo $clickedID;
?>
Now the problem is that ID in id.php cannot be identified.
Please help me. I already tried both $_POST and $_GET.
I believe that the problem here is in the passing of the variable.

there is no need for ajax if you wanna pass the id to the id.php after redirection
function clicked(clicked_id){
window.alert("clicked");
window.alert(clicked_id);
window.location='id.php?id=' + clicked_id;
}
in id.php you can get the id like this:
<?php $id = $_GET['id'];

function buttonClicked() {
$.ajax({
url: "id.php", //url for php function
type: "POST",
data: {'clicked_id':clicked_id}, // data to sent
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data)
{
}
});
}
And in your id.php file:
$_REQUEST['clicked_id']

ajax - save javascript value to php

After hours of trying to get this to work, i want to ask you :)
So i have a php Page that can display files from a server. Now I can edit
the files with a editor plugin.
Textarea is the tag where the editor gets rendered.
To save the changed text from the editor, I have a button that gets the innerHTML from the surrounding pre tag of the text with javascript.
I now want to pass that variable via ajax to a php variable on the site get.php,
so I can save it locally and send it to the server.
The problem is, that there is no reaction at all, if i click the "Save" button. I tested a lot of answers from similar ajax functions here, but none of them gave me a single reaction :/
php main
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
...
echo "<textarea><pre id='textbox'> ";
echo $ssh->exec($display);
echo "</textarea></pre>";
echo '<input type="button" value="Save File" id="butt">';
echo "<script>
var show = document.getElementById('textbox').innerHTML;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#butt').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'get.php',
data: {'variable': show},
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>";
...
get.php
if (isset($_POST["variable"])){
$show =$_POST["variable"];
echo $show;
}
Edit:
This is the actual working state:
echo "<textarea id='textbox'><pre> ";
echo $ssh->exec($display);
echo "</pre></textarea>";
echo '<input type="button" value="Save File" id="butt">';
echo "<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#butt').click(function() {
var show = document.getElementById('textbox').value;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'get.php',
data: {'variable': show},
success: function(data){
alert(data);
},
});
});
});
</script>";

You have an error in the data: {'variable': show)} part. It should be: data: {variable: show}. Also you should use Firebug or Firefox developer tools for these kind of problems. A lot easier to see whats wrong.

I would suggest small changes to see if everything is running as it should.
I can see that pre tag is behind textarea closing tag - try to change it
Try putting var show = document.getElementById('textbox').innerHTML; inside of the ,,butt" function
Then I can see your problem here data: {'variable': 'show')}, - you are sending 'show' as a string - remove quotes to send it as a variable which will appear as a POST value in PHP site.

with this should work:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'get.php',
data: {variable: show)},
success: function (data){
alert(data);

Send js value to php controller by ajax

I have this button
<button id="<?php echo $u['id']?>" name="activation" onclick="handleButton(this);" type="submit" class="btn btn-success"></button>
And this button related to this
<td id="<?php echo $u['id']?>"><?php echo $u['id']?></td>
I'm using this script to send value of button to my php controller
function handleButton(obj) {
var javascriptVariable = obj.id;
// alert (javascriptVariable);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/admin/active_users",
dataType: 'text',
data: 'myname='+javascriptVariable,
success: function (data){
}
});
}
When I use alert, the result of javascriptVariable is correct and I want it in my controller so I'm trying in my controller to do this:
if(isset($_POST['activation']))
{
$name = $this->input->post('myname');
var_dump($name);
}
But I get null value, what is the wrong?

When you pass data from the browser via AJAX only the data you pass in the data: parameter is sent to the PHP script.
So if you want to test for activation in the PHP script you must actually send that parameter
Also see the amendment to the data: parameter creation below. Its easier to read and a lot easier to code correctly when passing more than one parameter as you dont have to remember &'s and + concatenation.
function handleButton(obj) {
obj.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/admin/active_users",
dataType: 'text',
data: {activation: 1, myname: obj.id}, // add parameter
success: function (data){
alert(data);
}
});
}
Now the PHP will see 2 parameters in the $_POST array activation and myname
if(isset($_POST['activation']))
{
$name = $_POST['myname'];
var_dumb($name);
}
Or if you are using a framework which I assume you are
if(isset($this->input->post('activation')) {
$name = $this->input->post('myname');
var_dumb($name);
}
EDIT:
Spotted another issue your button has an attribute type="submit" this will cause the javascript to run AS WELL AS the form being submitted in the normal way.
Remove the type="submit" attribute and to be doubly sure that the form will not be submitted as well as the AJAX add a call to preventDefault(); as well before the AJAX call

Since the php script is conditioned by a second POST variable [if(isset($_POST['activation']))], you should post that as well.
function handleButton(obj) {
var javascriptVariable = obj.id;
// alert (javascriptVariable);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/admin/active_users",
dataType: 'text',
data: 'myname='+javascriptVariable+'&activation=1',// <-- RIGHT HERE
success: function (data){
alert(data);
}
});
}
SIDE NOTE: you could also echo instead of dump the variable:
if(isset($_POST['activation']))
{
echo $this->input->post('myname');
}

Try this in your ajax function :
function handleButton(obj) {
var javascriptVariable = obj.id;
//alert (javascriptVariable);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/admin/active_users",
dataType: 'text',
data: {myname: javascriptVariable},
success: function (data) {}
});
}
And in your PHP script, you can do $_POST['myname'] to get it (maybe $this->input->post('myname') can work, you can test it)

Look two id
<button id="<?php echo $u['id']?>" name="activation" onclick="handleButton(this);" type="submit" class="btn btn-success"></button>
AND
<td id="<?php echo $u['id']?>"><?php echo $u['id']?></td>
For both html elements id is same.It can not be used with in the same page.This may cause a problem for you...

Enter ID in html form and load related data from MySQL database in same page

I have a form with an input field for a userID. Based on the entered UID I want to load data on the same page related to that userID when the user clicks btnLoad. The data is stored in a MySQL database. I tried several approaches, but I can't manage to make it work. The problem is not fetching the data from the database, but getting the value from the input field into my php script to use in my statement/query.
What I did so far:
I have a form with input field txtTest and a button btnLoad to trigger an ajax call that launches the php script and pass the value of txtTest.
I have a div on the same page in which the result of the php script will be echoed.
When I click the button, nothing happens...
Test.html
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.7/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script>
//AJAX CALL
function fireAjax(){
$.ajax({
url:"testpassvariable.php",
type:"POST",
data:{userID:$("#txtTest").val(),},
success: function (response){
$('#testDiv').html(response);
}
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="testForm" id="testForm" action="" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<input type="text" name="txtTest" id="txtTest"/>
<input type="button" id="btnLoad" name="btnLoad" onclick="fireAjax();"
<input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" id="SubmitButton" value="TEST"/>
</form>
<div id="testDiv" name="testDiv">
</div>
</body>
The submit button is to insert updated data into the DB. I know I have to add the "action". But I leave it out at this point to focus on my current problem.
testpassvariable.php
<?php
$player = $_POST['userID'];
echo $player;
?>
For the purpose of this script (testing if I can pass a value to php and return it in the current page), I left all script related to fetching data from the DB out.

As the documentation says 'A page can't be manipulated safely until the document is ready.' Try this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
//AJAX CALL
function fireAjax(){
$.ajax({
url:"testpassvariable.php",
type:"POST",
data:{userID:$("#txtTest").val(),},
success: function (response){
$('#testDiv').html(response);
}
});
}
});
</script>

You need to correct two things:
1) Need to add $(document).ready().
When you include jQuery in your page, it automatically traverses through all HTML elements (forms, form elements, images, etc...) and binds them.
So that we can fire any event of them further.
If you do not include $(document).ready(), this traversing will not be done, thus no events will be fired.
Corrected Code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
//AJAX CALL
function fireAjax(){
$.ajax({
url:"testpassvariable.php",
type:"POST",
data:{userID:$("#txtTest").val(),},
success: function (response){
$('#testDiv').html(response);
}
});
}
});
</script>
$(document).ready() can also be written as:
$(function(){
// Your code
});
2) The button's HTML is improper:
Change:
<input type="button" id="btnLoad" name="btnLoad" onclick="fireAjax();"
To:
<input type="button" id="btnLoad" name="btnLoad" onclick="fireAjax();"/>

$.ajax({
url: "testpassvariable.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
userID: $("#txtTest").val(),
},
dataType: text, //<-add
success: function (response) {
$('#testDiv').html(response);
}
});
add dataType:text, you should be ok.
You need to specify the response from the php page since you are returning a string you should expect a string. Adding dataType: text tells ajax that you are expecting text response from php

This is very basic but should see you through.
Change
<input type="button" id="btnLoad" name="btnLoad" onclick="fireAjax();"/>
Change AJAX to pass JSON Array.
data = $(this).serialize() + "&" + $.param(data);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "action.php",
data: data,
....
// action.php
header('Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
echo json_encode(array(
'a' => $b[5]
));
//Connect to DB
$db = mysql_connect("localhst","user","pass") or die("Database Error");
mysql_select_db("db_name",$db);
//Get ID from request
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? (int)$_GET['id'] : 0;
//Check id is valid
if($id > 0)
{
//Query the DB
$resource = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = " . $id);
if($resource === false)
{
die("Database Error");
}
if(mysql_num_rows($resource) == 0)
{
die("No User Exists");
}
$user = mysql_fetch_assoc($resource);
echo "Hello User, your number is" . $user['number'];
}

try this:- for more info go here
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btnLoad").click(function(){
$.post({"testpassvariable.php",{{'userID':$("#txtTest").val()},function(response){
$('#testDiv').html(response);
}
});
});
});
and i think that the error is here:-(you wrote it like this)
data:{userID:$("#txtTest").val(),}
but it should be like this:-
data:{userID:$("#txtTest").val()}
happy coding :-)

Set session when clicking html link?

I have searched and tested different solutions all day without luck. In the below code I want (when clicked) to set a session on the "open" links I echo in the foreach loop. I tried using AJAX but I am new to AJAX and could not make it work. I know how to do it using GET but it is too risky, so i welcome your suggestion and preferably examples.
$task_array = array_combine($task_id_unique, $task_status);
foreach ($task_array as $card_nr => $card_status) {
?>
<table>
<tr>
<th>card nr.</th>
<th>Status</th>
</tr>
<td><?php
echo $card_nr;?></td>
<td>
<?php
if ($card_status == true) {
echo "<a href=workcard.php>Open</a>";
}
else echo "Done ". $card_nr;?></td>
</table>

What have you tried and what doesn't work, because this looks like what you need...
HTML:
Register Now!
PHP:
if(isset($_GET['a'])){
$_SESSION['link']= 'whatever';
}
And if you need to do it without a page refresh, then use AJAX.

You should use ajax on click of link:
$.ajax({
url: 'test.php',
dataType: 'json',
type: 'post',
data: {name: "value", name2: "value2" /* ... */},
success: function (data) {
}
});
in your test.php, $_POST['name'] is equal to "value". and there you can do everything you want.

first, add html class on "Open" link and custom html5 attribute to store your card data. for example data-card.
Open
next, create Onclick event for a link to send an ajax request.
$( document ).ready(function() {
$(".your-class").click(function() {
var card_nr = $(this).attr('data-card');
$.ajax({
url: "workcard.php",
type: "POST",
data: "card=" + card_nr
}).done(function() {
// do something
});
return false;
});
});
