php and ajax JavaScript pagination comment system

Trying to build a commenting system. Were comments are posted with AJAX. With comment count with Pagination. I have success achieving both, but putting them together is another story. I have tried doing 2 ajax calls. One for getting records from the database and showing pagination. The other call for recording records to the database.
// this is the first ajax call to to get the results and show pagination buttons
<script>
function request_page(pn){
var two = <?php echo $img_id; ?>;
var showmax = <?php echo SHOWMAX; ?>; // results per page
var totalpages = <?php echo $totalpages; ?>;
//controls for pigmintation
var pagination_controls = document.getElementById("pagination_controls");
var results_box = document.getElementsByClassName(two)[0];
params = 'showmax=' + showmax + '&totalpages=' + totalpages + '&pn=' + pn + '&img_id=' + two;
request = new ajaxRequest()
request.open("POST", "response5.php", true)
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
request.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (this.readyState == 4)

this.responseText

Dynamic form insert database

My whole signup page code is here.

I'm trying to add this dynamic fields to the signup page code.
<script>
var i = 1;
function addKid(){
if (i <= 6){
i++;
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.style.width = "44%";

div.style.color = "white";
div.setAttribute('class', 'myclass');
div.innerHTML = 'Child : <input type="text" name="child_'+i+'" > Ages : <input type="text" name="ages_'+i+'"><input type="button" id="add_kid()" onClick="addKid()" value="+" /><input type="button" value="-" onclick="removeKid(this)">';

I can get the "child_1 / chi" and "ages_1 / ags" insert into my database. no problem.
When I try to create a extra dynamic field in my signup, "child_2 and ages_2".....
then I can't get that info from "child_2 and ages_2" insert into my database.
Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong since I can't get that info into my database.? Am I suppose to call "child_2 / chi2" and "ages_2 / ags2" for something els before it will work.?

kindly save your child and age in array and pass it in ajax. so that you can loop the child and age as given below and insert it into table.
For password and conform password use js. and validate it in front end itself. save password alone in table that's enough.
try to understand this code and do alterations as required. but i sloved your dynamic child and age problem. run this code

Another one thing I have noted in your code.
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$u' LIMIT 1";
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE email='$e' LIMIT 1";
you have written two query for this. make it single as given
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE email='$e' and username='$u' LIMIT 1";

How to push data from database and see vote count after each data?

What I'm trying to do is to allow students answer questions and see each vote after each question and then the teacher can push the next question. The votes will then be entered into the database which I can use to produce a chart. I currently have the student answering questions but I'm having problem on stopping the next question from coming so the poll vote can show and how to show the vote before the next question comes.
This gets the questions from the database:
function getQuestion(){
var hr = new XMLHttpRequest();
hr.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (hr.readyState==4 && hr.status==200){
var response = hr.responseText.split("|");
if(response[0] == "finished"){
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = response[1];
}
var nums = hr.responseText.split(",");
document.getElementById('question').innerHTML = nums[0];
document.getElementById('answers').innerHTML = nums[1];
document.getElementById('answers').innerHTML += nums[2];
}
}
hr.open("GET", "questions.php?question=" + <?php echo $question; ?>, true);
hr.send();
function post_answer(){
var p = new XMLHttpRequest();
var id = document.getElementById('qid').value;
var url = "userAnswers.php";
var vars = "qid="+id+"&radio="+x();
p.open("POST", url, true);
p.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
p.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(p.readyState == 4 && p.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = '';
alert("Your answer was submitted"+ p.responseText);
var url = 'quiz.php?question=<?php echo $next; ?>';
window.location = url;
}
}
p.send(vars);
document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "processing...";
}
On a different php file:
require_once 'core/init.php';
$arrCount = "";
if(isset($_GET['question'])){
$question = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', "", $_GET['question']);
$output = "";
$answers = "";
$q = "";
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'alsp');
$sql = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT id FROM questions");
$numQuestions = mysqli_num_rows($sql);
if(!isset($_SESSION['answer_array']) || $_SESSION['answer_array'] < 1){
$currQuestion = "1";
}else{
$arrCount = count($_SESSION['answer_array']);
}
if($arrCount > $numQuestions){
unset($_SESSION['answer_array']);
header("location: start-quiz.php");
exit();
}
if($arrCount >= $numQuestions){
echo 'finished|<p>There are no more questions. Please enter your username and submit</p>
<form action="userAnswers.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="complete" value="true">
<input type="text" name="username">
<button class="btn btn-action" type="submit" value="finish">Submit</button>
</form>';
exit();
}
$singleSQL = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM questions WHERE id='$question' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($singleSQL)){
$id = $row['id'];
$thisQuestion = $row['question'];
$type = $row['type'];
$question_id = $row['question_id'];
$q = '<h2>'.$thisQuestion.'</h2>';
$sql2 = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM answers WHERE question_id='$question' ORDER BY rand()");
while($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($sql2)){
$answer = $row2['answer'];
$correct = $row2['correct'];
$answers .= '<label style="cursor:pointer;"><input type="radio" name="rads" value="'.$correct.'">'.$answer.'</label>
<input type="hidden" id="qid" value="'.$id.'" name="qid"><br /><br />
';
}
$output = ''.$q.','.$answers.',<span id="btnSpan"><button onclick="post_answer()"class="btn btn-action">Submit</button></span>';
echo $output;
}
}
I'm guessing rather than have a submit button that takes you to the next page, after clicking on a radio button, the vote should show and then the teacher can push the next question. That's were the main issue is.

autocomplete search form with multiple input php mysql

Hi Guys I have this search from that takes a search term matches it with a table.field and in php it searches all matching data.
I want to add autocomplete to it, can anyone PLEASE assist?
Here is the HTML FORM
<form action="'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'" method="post">
<input type="text" id="searchThis" name="searchThis" placeholder="search" value="" size="14" />
<select name="searchItems" id="searchItems">
<optgroup value="Vehicles" label="Vehicles">Vehicles
<option value="vehicles.Make">Make</option>
<option value="vehicles.model">Model</option>
<option value="vehicles.RegNumber">Registration Number</option>
<option value="vehicles.licenseExpireDate">License Expire Date</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup value="Owners" label="Owners">Clients
<option value="owners.OwnerName" label="" >Name</option>
<option value="owners.mobile">Mobile Number</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<input type="submit" id="doSearch" name="Search" value="Search" />
</form>
<ul id="result">
</ul>
There is the JS
<script src="js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
(function($j){
$j(document).ready(function (){
$j("#searchThis").keyup(function()
{
var searchThis = $j('#searchThis').val();
var searchItems = $j('#searchItems').val();
var dataString = {'searchThis': searchThis,'searchItems':searchItems};
if(searchThis!='')
{
$j.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "doAutocomplete_search.php",
data: dataString,
dataType: "html",
cache: false,
success: function(data)
{
$j("#result").html(data).show();
}
});
}return false;
});
$j("#result").live("click",function(e){
var clicked = $j(e.target);
var name = clicked.find('.name').html();
var decoded = $j("<div/>").html(name).text();
$j('#searchThis').val(decoded);
});
$j(document).live("click", function(e) {
var clicked = $j(e.target);
if (! clicked.hasClass("search")){
$j("#result").fadeOut();
}
});
$j('#searchid').click(function(){
$j("#result").fadeIn();
});
});
})($j);
And the PHP
function implement($cxn,$searchThis, $field) {
$show = "";
//Item to be searched
$srchThis = strip_tags(trim($searchThis));
//[0]= table , [1]=field to search
$srchStack = explode('.',$field);
$gtData = "SELECT * FROM ".$srchStack[0]." WHERE ".$srchStack[1]." like '%|{$srchThis}|%'";
//or die(mysqli_error($cxn))
if($selectc = mysqli_query($cxn,"SELECT * FROM {$srchStack[0]} WHERE {$srchStack[1]} LIKE '{$srchThis}%' OR {$srchStack[1]} LIKE '%{$srchThis}%'")) {
$srchData = array();
$rows = mysqli_fetch_row($selectc);
echo $rows;
//if() {, MYSQL_ASSOC
//echo var_dump($srchData);
$show .= '
<table style="border:2px solid #0000">';
//foreach($srchData as $fields=>$data) {
for($s=0; $s < $rows && $srchData = mysqli_fetch_assoc($selectc);$s++) {
if($srchStack[0] == 'vehicles' && $fields == 'RegNumber') {
$dataItem = $data;
$editTbl = 'Vehicles';
$link = 'href="index.php?list=vehicles&&tbl='.$srchStack[0].'&&item='.$dataItem.'"';
} elseif($srchStack[0] == 'vehicles' && $fields == 'Make') {
$dataItem = $data;
$editTbl = 'vehicles';
$link = 'href="index.php?list=vehicles&&tbl='.$srchStack[0].'&&item='.$dataItem.'"';
}
$show .= '<tr><td><a '.$link.'>'.$data.'</a></td></tr>
';
}
$show .= '</table>';
return $show;
} else {
$show .= "There are no entries in the database...<br>".mysqli_error($cxn);
return $show;
}
//}
}
echo implement($cxn, $_POST['searchThis'], $_POST['searchItems']);
$cxn->close();

Hi Guys so i had to do some refactoring, realized it was more the PHP MySQL code.
Here is the refactored PHP code
//Item to be searched
$srchThis = strip_tags(trim($searchThis));
//[0]= table , [1]=field to search

Of-course the JS code still needs some more work but this greatly improved the results...
Hope this help someone...

i have a script which I have been following a tutorial - I wish to remove the email activation and ensure the users are activated once they hit sign up instead of the activation email being sent and verified?
Here is the script.
<?php
session_start();
// If user is logged in, header them away
if(isset($_SESSION["username"])){
header("location: message.php?msg=NO to that weenis");
exit();
}
?><?php
// Ajax calls this NAME CHECK code to execute
if(isset($_POST["usernamecheck"])){
include_once("includes/db_connex.php");
$username = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9]#i', '', $_POST['usernamecheck']);
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1";
$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
$uname_check = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if (strlen($username) < 3 || strlen($username) > 16) {
echo '<strong style="color:#F00;">3 - 16 characters please</strong>';
exit();
}
if (is_numeric($username[0])) {
echo '<strong style="color:#F00;">Usernames must begin with a letter</strong>';
exit();
}
if ($uname_check < 1) {
echo '<strong style="color:#009900;">' . $username . ' is OK</strong>';
exit();
} else {
echo '<strong style="color:#F00;">' . $username . ' is taken</strong>';
exit();
}
}
?><?php
// Ajax calls this REGISTRATION code to execute
if(isset($_POST["u"])){
// CONNECT TO THE DATABASE
include_once("includes/db_connex.php");

$p = $_POST['p'];
$g = preg_replace('#[^a-z]#', '', $_POST['g']);
$c = preg_replace('#[^a-z ]#i', '', $_POST['c']);
// GET USER IP ADDRESS
$ip = preg_replace('#[^0-9.]#', '', getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));

To be honest, you should really learn what is going on in the code instead of simply copying it out from a tutorial
The email activation occurs here
// Email the user their activation link
$to = "$e";
$from = "hello#iamdanbarrett.com";
$subject = 'yoursitename Account Activation';
$message = 'message here!'.$e.'</b></div></body></html>';
$headers = "From: $from\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo "signup_success";
so you can simply remove this, and instead of emailing them a verification, just change their status in the database to registered or however you distinguish between someone who hasn't activated their account and someone who has activated their account.

In order to achieve that you'll need to :
1 - learn PHP
2 - There's no 2, you'll just figure it out once you can read the code.
