[RESOLVED] PHP Ajax issue

sciwaysoft

Hi,

I am trying to place a poll ( Ajax-Poller from www.dhtmlgoodies.com ) at my home page. I have changed the file locations and included it in my php page but I am unable to update the mySQL database after submitting the page. Can anyone help. I am also attaching the poller script. I need it urgently.

Regards,

No Need to say 'I Need It Urgently'. Nobody will run any faster for you if, and some people may ignore you.

Some base questions; stating that your database is not updated is not much help. Where does the script stop functioning:

What is the error the MySQL generates
What does the query look like
How do you post the files to your script
What is in the $GET or $POST array after submitting
Does the script work without AJAX

thanks for not ignoring me 😉

the poller script, i downloaded, worked ok when i run it with all the file and folders at my root directory, but i decided to place this script at my root/addons/poll folder and included the poll file at my home page. I updated the javascript file locations. script does connects to the database and fetch the required database fields required to display the poll but when i submit the poll it goes blank. nothing happens. Attached are screen shots how am i doing it all.

Another way to be ignored is to avoid answer questions. They are aimed to help you, not to get a lot of unnecessary information. If you don't know how to get the answer ask about that.

Note: I'm not saying that your second post doesn't give relevant information, it is possible it does.

in your image nothing is made any clearer unfortunately. The $_GET is to get the information ajax sends, presumably- through a GET pass.

You need to look at the return value of the script (Does it return a succesfull message) and at how your ajax is supposed to handle the result.

As I cannot see you ajax (No sorry, I do not open .zip files on the internet; if you want me to read specific pieces of code: get the relevant pieces, and paste them here in

 or [code] BB tags) it is not possible to see how the return is supposed to be handled. 

A clear way to test where things go belly-up is by inserting alert() commands for key-variables in key locations in your java handling functions.

Thanks for help, I got the bug. Ajax was calling the submit php class but submit class was not included with Database connection parameters.

There is another problem, when i submit the poll, the page scrolls to top. I don't like it, any remedie for it.

hm.. If you use ajax it shouldn't, I think..

You can of course use anchors and link using page.php#ANCHORNAME which will load a page to a specific position

I dont want to scroll the page if submit button is clicked. I want the page to stay at that scroll position where it is clicked.

Sounds like the poll sits inside a form that has the action value set to itself, therefore on submitting it reloads itself.

If this is right you could just remove the form tags and refer to the values directly by document.getElementById or document.getElementByTag
