I have a php function in which some pdf is being created. I have a button and I want to call that function on button click and then redirecting to a url. What can be the simplest method of doing that?
If you need to call a PHP method, I'd use AJAX. Something like this:
var btn = document.getElementById("button_id");
btn.onclick = function () {
// Make AJAX request
// On success, do this:
window.location.href = "url to redirect to";
};
The code for "Make AJAX request" can be Googled easily, and I will provide it in a minute :)
UPDATE:
function ajaxFunction() {
var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible!
try {
// Firefox, Chrome, Opera 8.0+, Safari
ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
// Internet Explorer Browsers
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0");
} catch (e) {
try {
ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
} catch (e) {
throw new Error("This browser does not support XMLHttpRequest.");
}
}
}
}
}
return ajaxRequest;
}
The AJAX code -
var req = ajaxFunction();
req.onreadystatechange = function (response) {
if (response.status == 200 && response.readyState == 4) {
window.location.href = "url to redirect to";
}
}
req.open("POST", "your PHP file's URL", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
req.send(null); // Or send any `key=value&` pairs as a string
There are various ways to accomplish this. I would call the PHP function in ajax and redirect based on the functions return value. The following example uses jQuery:
jQuery:
$.ajax({
url: 'createpdf.php',
success: function(data) {
if (data) window.location = 'link/to/new/path';
}
});
PHP:
function create_pdf(){
//Create PDF
//If PDF was created successfully, return true
return true;
}
<form name="input" action="whatever.php" method="get">
...
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
