PHP: javascript alert, with value from sql query, into IF condition

With the following code, a popup table should appear with sql query data, only when retrieved records are greater than 1.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM pt_locations WHERE country = ('$countryCode') AND location = ('$cityCode')";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$rowcount=mysqli_num_rows($result);
$message = "Records found: " . $rowcount . "<br /><br />";
if ($rowcount > 1) {
echo '<script language="javascript">';
echo 'alert' .$message;
foreach($result as $val){
$id_country = $val["country"] ;
$id_code = $val["code"] ;
$id_location = $val["location"] ;
$id_latitude = $val["latitude"] ;
$id_longitude = $val["longitude"] ;
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='5'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><i><strong>ID Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Country</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_country."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Location</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_location."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Latitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_latitude."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Longitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_longitude."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table><br /><br />";
}
echo '</script>';
}
Recording counts are done correctly, but I can not make the popup appear in any way.

try this. Hope this help you.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM pt_locations WHERE country = ('country') AND
location = ('location')";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$rowcount=mysqli_num_rows($result);
$message = "Records found: " . $rowcount;
if ($rowcount > 1) {
echo '<script language="javascript">';
echo 'alert("'.$message.'")';
echo '</script>';
while($val=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$id_country = $val["country"] ;
$id_code = $val["code"] ;
$id_location = $val["location"] ;
$id_latitude = $val["latitude"] ;
$id_longitude = $val["longitude"] ;
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='5'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><i><strong>ID Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Country</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_country."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Location</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_location."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Latitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_latitude."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Longitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_longitude."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table><br /><br />";
}
}

There are some errors, because for logic you must put the alert at the end of the table complete, just for logic and after you put alert something without brakets and you open a script before the foreach loop and after the foreach loop you close the script, this is absolutley wrong, another error is in the $message, you are using br inside an alert javascript that isn't recognize as html but just like characters at the least you can use unicode \n\t not br, i used also a setTimeout,but works also without setTimeout.
Sometimes can result essential use javascript injection inside the php for example to autofill of some forms and input select or to call a change event from external compilation of other application that pass variables in get and need to autofill a form, but i think in this case is not necessary do a javascript injection you can print the total Records just in the page, btw...
The code under works
Bye
$message = "Records found: " . $rowcount." \\n\t\\n\t";
if ($rowcount > 1) {
foreach($result as $val){
//var_dump($val);
$id_country = $val["country"] ;
$id_code = $val["code"] ;
$id_location = $val["location"] ;
$id_latitude = $val["latitude"] ;
$id_longitude = $val["longitude"] ;
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='5'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><i><strong>ID Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Country</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_country."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Code</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $code."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Location</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_location."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Latitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_latitude."</td>";
echo "<td><i><strong>Longitude</strong></i></td><td>";
echo $id_longitude."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table><br /><br />";
}
$jvsVar = "<script type='text/javascript'>;setTimeout(function(){alert('$message');},100)</script>";
echo $jvsVar;

How to include php function in javascript(Alertify.js) that had been echo in php

I am using alertify.js library to prompt a cormfirmation to user. Ex if user press ok , it will run certain php funtion. The alert are echo using php. but it return an error.
<?php
include('header.php');
if( isset($_GET['id']) && $_GET['action'] == 'delete'){
$id = $_GET['id'];
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
alertify.confirm("Confirm Title", "Confirm Message", function(){ alertify.success("Ok")'.
if($user->deleteAccount($id)){
$_SESSION['current_url'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
/* echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
window.location.replace('clear_Post.php');
</script>";*/
}
.' }
, function(){ alertify.error("Cancel")});
</script>';
}
?>

Have description have a limit of the amount of characters on the page. PHP

Okay, so I'm working on a PHP site, I have descriptions of the product under the image, what I'm need to do is limit the amount of characters on the page and add a click here or.. For the viewers to be directed to that products page to see the full description. FYI very new to PHP, here is what I have so far. So question is do I use PHP or javascript or both and how do I do that ?
<?php
// Include need php scripts
require_once ("Includes/simplecms-config.php");
require_once ("Includes/connectDB.php");
include ("Includes/header.php");
if (!empty($_GET['cat'])) {
$category = $_GET['cat'];
$query = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM products WHERE category = '".$category."'");
} else {
$query = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM products");
}
if (!$query) {
die('Database query failed: ' . $query->error);
}
?>
<section>
<div id="productList">
<?php
$row_count = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if ($row_count == 0) {
echo '<p style="color:red">There are no images uploaded for this category</p>';
} elseif ($query) {
while($products = mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
$file = $products['image'];
$product_name = $products['product'];
$image_id = $products['id'];
$price = $products['price'];
$desc = $products['description'];
echo '<div class="image_container">';
echo '<a href="viewProduct.php?id=' . $image_id . '"><p><img src="Images/products/'.$file.'" alt="'.$product_name.'" height="250" /></p>';
echo $product_name . "</a><br>$" . $price . "<br>" . $desc;
echo '</div>';
if (is_admin()){
echo "<a href='deleteproduct.php'><button>delete</button></a>";
}
}
} else {
die('There was a problem with the query: ' .$query->error);
}
mysqli_free_result($query);
?>
</div>
</section>
<?php include ("Includes/footer.php"); ?>

using strlen and substr we can achieve this
$length = 150
$x = 'string';
if(strlen($x)<=$length)
{
echo $x;
}
else
{
$y=substr($x,0,$length) . '...';
echo $y;
}

Validate PHP variable via Javascript

Im looking to pass one variable from my PHP code to my Javascript code to validate a figure. I'm creating a shopping cart scenario whereby i have a variable 'in_stock' which specifies the amount of stock available for a product. If I enter an amount that is greater than the 'in_stock' available i need an error to be thrown. This is currently what I have:
Java Script
<script language="javascript">
function numCheck()
{
var enteredChar = document.getElementById('add_value').value;
var stockavailable ="<?php echo $stock?>";
//To check if a non-numerical value is entered
if (isNaN(enteredChar))
{
alert("Not a Number!");
return false;
}
//To check if the input is empty
if (enteredChar=="")
{
alert("Empty!");
return false;
}
//To check if the amount entered is not greater than the amount in stock
if (enteredChar > stockavailable)
{
alert("Not enough in stock");
return false;
}
}
</script>
This is all occurring whilst my PHP has called the database and returned the value on the screen. As follows:
PHP
$product_id =(int)$_GET['product_id'];
$username = "potiro";
$password = "pcXZb(kL";
$hostname = "rerun";
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
//select a database to work with
$selected = mysql_select_db("poti",$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select examples");
//execute the SQL query and return records
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products where product_id=$product_id");
echo '<form name="form1">';
echo '<table class="Grocery-table">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$stock =$row['in_stock'];
$product_id = $row['product_id'];
echo "<tr><td><b>Product ID</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $product_id;
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Product Name</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['product_name'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Unit Price</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $stock;
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Unit Quantity</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['unit_quantity'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>In Stock</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['in_stock'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo '<tr><td><b>Add</b></td><td><Input type="text" id="add_value" name="cart"></input></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return numCheck()"></td></tr>';
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</form>";
mysql_close($dbhandle);
?>

add your stock value to a hidden input value stock_value
echo '<tr><td><b>Add</b></td><td><Input type="text" id="add_value" name="cart" ></input><Input type="hidden" id="stock_value" name="stock_value" value="'.trim($stock).'"></input></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return numCheck()"></td></tr>';
in javascript
<script language="javascript">
function numCheck()
{
var enteredChar = document.getElementById('add_value').value;
var stockavailable =document.getElementById('stock_value').value;

How to properly load one ajax request after another

I am creating a messaging system for a website that I am making. Basically, it consists of clicking one button and two Ajax Requests afterwards. I am not even sure I am going about this the right way. On click of the button the first Ajax starts to call. The first ajax request loads a file that loads the style of the messages and retrieves them from a database. The problem I am having is that the first request sometimes takes to long to finish and the other request does not get complete. Another problem I am having is that if I put an "animation delay" type thing on it then it will look like the page it running slow. You can run an example at "http://www.linkmesocial.com/linkme.php?activeTab=mes" you must type or copy and past the whole length for it to work otherwise you will redirect to the login page. Any advice would be AWESOME! If there is some easier way to set up a messaging system please feel free to give me some advice or direct me to a tutorial. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I would also like the know if this is a good practice. Please :)
My Original file. On click of class "mes_tab" a form is submitted. also the function mes_main() is called.
session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['user'];
$messages = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$username'");
echo "<div id=\"mes_main-bar_top\" class=\"center\">Messages</div>";
echo "<div id=\"mes_main\">";
echo "<table id=\"mes_main-allView\" class=\"left\">";
echo "<td class=\"mes_tab-change\" >^</td>";
$from=array("","","", "", "", "", "", "");
for ($msgCount = 0; $msgCount < 8; $msgCount++){
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($messages);
$from[$msgCount] = $row['sender'];
for ($prev = 0; $prev < $msgCount; $prev++)
{
if ($from[$msgCount] == $from[$prev] )
{
$cont = true;
break;
}
}
if ($cont)
{
$cont = false;
continue;
}
if ($row['message'] == ""){
break;
}
echo "<tr><td class=\"mes_tab\" onclick=\"mes_main('" . $row['sender'] . "')\">";
echo "<h3 class=\"center\">" . $row['sender'] . "</h3>";
echo "<form id=\"" . $row['sender'] . "\" >";
echo "<input name=\"sender\" value=\"" . $row['sender'] . "\" hidden/>";
echo "<input name=\"id\" value=\"" . $row['id'] . "\" hidden/>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}
if ($msgCount == 8)
{
echo "<td id=\"mes_tab-change_bottom\" class=\"mes_tab-change\">V</td>";
}
echo "</table> <!-- end mes_main-allView -->";
echo "<div id=\"mes_main-mesView\" class=\"right\">";
echo "</div> <!-- end mes_main-mesView -->";
echo "</div> <!-- end mes_main -->";
mes_main() function from above. The two ajax functions inside are what I am referring to in the post above.
function mes_main(x)
{
var sender = x;
$( sender ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
});
ajax_req_mes("scripts/home/php/mes_load.php?" + sender , "mes_main-mesView");
ajax_req_mes("scripts/home/php/mes_content.php?" + sender ,"mes_content");
}
mes_load.php
the $sender var is created by passing the sender username through the URL. That is why I do php explode on the url.
session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['user'];
$url = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$sender = explode('?', $url);
$recieved = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$username' AND sender='$sender[1]'");
$sent = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$sender[1]' AND sender='$username'");
echo "<div id=\"mes_content\"></div>";
echo "<div id=\"mes_field\" class=\"right\"></div>";
mes_content.php
session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['user'];
$url = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$sender = explode('?', $url);
$recieved = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$username' AND sender='$sender[1]'");
$sent = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$sender[1]' AND sender='$username'");
echo "<table id=\"mesView-table\">";
$REC = array();
$SENT = array();
$ID = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 25; $i++)
{
$rec = mysqli_fetch_array($recieved);
$sent = mysqli_fetch_array($sent);
if ($rec['id'] > 0)
{
$REC[$i] = $rec['id'];
}
if ($sent['id'] > 0)
{
$SENT[$i] = $sent['id'];
}
}
$ID = array_merge($SENT, $REC);
sort($ID);
for ($x = 0; $x < count($ID); $x++)
{
$key = $ID[$x];
$result = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE id = '$key'");
$res = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
if (in_array($key, $REC))
{
echo "<tr><td class='mes_recieved'>";
echo $res['message'];
echo "</tr></td>";
}
elseif (in_array($key, $SENT))
{
echo "<tr><td class='mes_sent'>";
echo $res['message'];
echo "</tr></td>";
}
}
echo "</table>";

Set async to false in your ajax requests!That's how the second one will wait for completing the first one and then start.
Also you can catch the on success and on error for the purposes you have.

Just use the "success" and "error" callbacks.
Also you could use the "done" callback
But, IMO, for that kind of problem I think a better alternative would be using Websockets
EDIT:
Here is some example of how you could do it:
jQuery.ajax({
type : "POST",
data : {msg:"your message"}
url : "http://fu.com/myfile.php",
success: function(response){
//Do something with your response
}
}).done(secondCall());
function secondCall(){
jQuery.ajax({
type : "POST",
data : {data:"data"}
url : "http://fu.com/myfile.php",
success: function(response){
//Do something with your response
}
});
}
EDIT2:
For visibility, here is a tutorial using websockets: http://www.sanwebe.com/2013/05/chat-using-websocket-php-socket
