PHP5 - AJAX help


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I've been following the tutorial on w2schools (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_database.asp) about using AJAX and a database. It's my first time actually using AJAX and I've run into a problem. Nothing seems to be happening

What i'm trying to do is when a user changes on drop down, another is filled out depending on the first

This is the form
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Scouts DB - Members</title> <link href="../css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="addmem.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript" src="packsix.js"></script> <?php include('menu.php'); ?> <p align="center">Fill out below to add a member</p> <form id="addmem" name="addmem" method="post" action="/admin/addmem_process.php"> <div id="Personal"> <p align="center">Personal Information</p> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <th width="50%" scope="col">First Name </th> <td width="50%" scope="col"><input name="first_name" type="text" id="first_name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Last Name </th> <td><input name="last_name" type="text" id="last_name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Membership No. </th> <td><input name="memebrship_no" type="text" id="memebrship_no" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Section</th> <td><select name="section" id="section" onchange="packsix(this.value)"> <option value="0" selected="selected"> </option> <option value="1">Beavers</option> <option value="2">Cubs</option> <option value="3">Scouts</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>Date of Birth </th> <td><input name="dob" type="text" id="dob" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Gender</th> <td><select name="gender" id="gender"> <option value="male" selected="selected">Male</option> <option value="female">Female</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>Religion</th> <td><input name="riligion" type="text" id="riligion" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>School</th> <td><input name="school" type="text" id="school" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Ethnicity</th> <td><input name="ethnicity" type="text" id="ethnicity" /></td> </tr> </table> <br /> </div> <div id="Contact"> <p align="center">Contact Details</p> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <th width="34%" scope="col">Address</th> <td width="66%" scope="col"><input name="address1" type="text" id="address1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>&nbsp;</th> <td><input name="address2" type="text" id="address2" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Town</th> <td><select name="town" id="town"> <option value="Welwyn Garden City">Welwyn Garden City</option> <option value="Hatfield">Hatfield</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>County</th> <td><input name="county" type="text" id="county" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Post Code </th> <td><input name="postcode" type="text" id="postcode" value="AL7 " /></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Home Tel.

This is the packsix.js file
Code: var xmlhttp function packsix(int) { pack(int) } function pack(int) { xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject(); if (xmlhttp==null) { alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request"); return; } var url="pack.php"; url=url+"?q="+str; url=url+"&sid="+Math.random(); xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged; xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true); xmlhttp.send(null); } function stateChanged() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) { document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } function GetXmlHttpObject() { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari return new XMLHttpRequest(); } if (window.ActiveXObject) { // code for IE6, IE5 return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } return null; } }

and this is the pack.php file
PHP Code: // JavaScript Document


var xmlhttp

function packsix(int)
{
pack(int)
}

function pack(int)
{
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlhttp==null)
{
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
var url="pack.php";
url=url+"?q="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}

function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
// code for IE6, IE5
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
return null;
}
}
