dynamically updating select boxes with php mysql jquery ajax
Question
I am trying to populate an initial customer select box with results from PDO MySql via PHP. Then I would like the second contact select box to update with additional information related to what was chosen in the first box. I can't get the second script to work. I think the problem is in my ajax script because the PHP scripts work fine when ran on there own.
The Primary Script
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#contact").change(function(){
var cid = $("#cid").val();
$.ajax({
type:"post",
url:"contact.php",
data:"cid="+cid,
success: function(data) {
$("#contact").html(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Campaign :
<select name="customer" id="customer">
<option>-Select a Customer-</option>
<?php
include ("function.php");
include("connect.php");
$id = $_SESSION['profile']['id'];
foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE pid = '$id'") as $row) {
echo "<option value=" . $row['id'] . ">" . $row['name'] . "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<select name="contact" id="contact">
<option>-Select a Contact-</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
The Contact script
include("connect.php");
$cid = $_POST["cid"];
foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM contact WHERE cid = '$cid'") as $row) {
echo '<option value="'.$row['id'].'">'.$row['name'].'</option>';

也许您的第二个功能应该从#customer change开始

I see you used the contact select in ajax not customer as you described. However the code you wrote, you used the contact selector with change event, But the contact select box contain only one value, How can it change ??
<select name="contact" id="contact">
<option>-Select a Contact-</option>
</select>
The previous select should has more than option to can change. Or I think you mean the #customer instead contact as following:-
$("#customer").change(function(){
// your code;
});

Why not just encode a JSON response with the ids and names?
foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM contact WHERE cid = '$cid'") as $row) {
$arr[] = array("id" => $row['id'], "name" => $row['name']);
}
echo json_encode($arr);
Then in your ajax response, you could do
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#customer").change(function () {
var cid = $("#customer").val();
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "contact.php",
data: {cid: cid},
success: function (data) {
var options = [];
$.each(data, function () {
options.push('<option value="' + this.id + '">' + this.name + '</option>');
});
$("#contact").html(options.join(""));
}
});
});
});
