I'm working on a PHP project and need to do an ajax call however it's set up in such a way that "ve never seen before. I have one file: index.php that looks like this:
echo '<input id=ajax_redraw name=ajax_redraw type=button value="Redraw" onclick="ajaxTest()" />';
echo '<div id=destination_div name=destination_div class=ajax_test >';
echo '</div>';
echo end_page();
function redraw_destination_div()
{
global $db;
$select = $db->select()
->from( EPRESCRIBING_ERROR_MESSAGES, 'error_message' );
$errors = $db->fetchCol( $select );
$random_key = rand( 0, (count($errors)-1) );
$errror_message_for_destination_div = $errors[$random_key];
}
I need to show the variable $errror_message_for_destination_div on the div with the id of destination_div.
My javascript code looks like this:
function ajaxTest() {
// Getting the specific div to target
var targetArea = document.getElementById("destination_div");
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("POST", "ajax_test.php", true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState === 4 || this.status === 200){
targetArea.innerHTML = 'SEE ME';
console.log(this.responseText); // echo from php
}
};
xmlhttp.send();
}
I can display the 'See Me' text no problem. I just need to know how to call and display the response from the PHP function redraw_destination_div. Thank you for any help.
You need to rewrite the PHP.
HTTP requests are made to URLs, not functions.
You need a URL which you can make a request to get the data you need (and only the data you need).
Currently you have a PHP program which:
<div>
you don't want in the Ajax response.
