[How would you check if a variable was submitted into a field then submit it to the PDO statement?]

Thanks, that worked perfectly

[How would you check if a variable was submitted into a field then submit it to the PDO statement?]

I tried assigning variable names first, but for some reason I was unable to get it process, so I decided to try with ? to get them to run.  Can you provide a run-able example?

[How would you check if a variable was submitted into a field then submit it to the PDO statement?]

Going from something like:

$sql_update='';
$binders='';
if(isset($_POST['name']) && $_POST['name']!=''){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$binders.=",$name";

$sql_update.="`name`=?";
}
...
if(isset($_POST['phone']) && $_POST['phone']!=''){
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$binders.=",$phone";

$sql_update.="`phone`=?";
}
$binders = trim($binders, ',');
$sql_update = trim($sql_update, ',');


if ($sql_update!='' && $binders!='') {
$sql = "UPDATE ___table___
SET $sql_update
WHERE id=$___id___";
$q = $conn->prepare($sql);
// $q->execute(array($binders,$___id___));

}

How would you send it to the PDO function?

 

I spent the whole day trying to convert it from a mysql statement to a PDO statement, and feel like 

[How to make a request to plop into a modal with AJAX]

If I do that, I need a way to also search with JavaScript turned off.

[How to make a request to plop into a modal with AJAX]

When I put the run_modal( href, url_data ) inside the jquery function() it says:
Uncaught Reference Error: run_modal is not defined

 

when outside It says:

Uncaught Error: cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'open'

 

when I remove the return false the hyperlink behaves as it always has.

 

I'm just trying to be able to pass the function variables in through the "old method" to make the function more understandable (maybe I need to see a video on how exactly the jquery variable system works).

 

vision:

you have X possible modals that can be triggered you're trying to only trigger 1 modal that will use the variables it receives to run its ajax lookup.

[How to make a request to plop into a modal with AJAX]

Here's a better approach though, that uses more pure jquery than you are using. It also tremendously simplifies things.

 

 

<div id='dialog' title='Blog Post Viewer'></div>
 
//Just use the href, and create a html data attribute to hold the "url_data". Give them all the same class and jQuery will pick it all up using my function which is automatically invoked.
<a href='?a=a&b=b' data-urldata="data a" class="modalize"> link text a</a>
<a href='?c=c&d=d' data-urldata="data b" class="modalize"> link text b</a>

 

$(function() {
    
    //create a click event for all links with class of "modalize"
    $('a.modalize').on('click', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault(); //jQuery equiv for return false for click event
        
        var link = $(this); //the clicked link
        
        //grab the link href
        var href = link.attr('href');
        
        //grab the link urldata
        var urldata = link.data('urldata');
       
        alert('href: ' + href + "\nData: " + urldata);
        
        //now do the ajax, open dialog box, etc
        $( "#dialog" ).dialog({
          autoOpen: false
        });
    });
});

This would work, if I wasn't trying to run a modal instead of an alert for presentation reasons: https://jqueryui.com/dialog/#modal-form

 

The error I'm getting is: Uncaught Error: cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'open'

[How to make a request to plop into a modal with AJAX]

Here's what I'm starting with:

 

javascript:

$(function() {
    $( "#dialog" ).dialog({
        autoOpen: false
    });
});

function run_modal( href, url_data ) {
//    $("#dialog").dialog("open");
    $( "#dialog" ).dialog( "open" );
    alert(href+"?"+url_data);
}

PHP:

echo "
<div id='dialog' title='Blog Post Viewer'></div>
";
function modalize($link_txt, $href, $url_data){
    //<a href='?$url_data' onmousedown='run_modal()' onclick='return false' >$link_txt</a>
    echo "
<a href='? $url_data ' onclick='return false' onmousedown=' run_modal ( \" $href \" , \" $url_data \" );'> $link_txt </a>
 ";


}

I'm struggling to make the modal popup.

 

From there I plan to plug in my own generic ajax loader to request the data to be populated in the modal.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

swapcontent() is a page content swapper like in frames, which are now dead.

[odd behavior with $.ajax]

You shouldn't have to append the data directly to the url - using the 'get' method will handle that for you, as well as JSON encoding the data. However, you do have to give the data to the ajax call.

$.ajax({
	type:'get',
	url:href,
	beforeSend:function(){
		$('#target').html("<p>Doing something - please wait.</p>");
	},
	data:url_data,
}).done(function(ajaxObject){
	var resp = JSON.parse(ajaxObject);
	if(resp.success == true){
		$('#target').html("<p>Woot!</p>");
	}else{
		$('#target').html('<p>Processing error - system returned false!</p>');
	}
}).error(function(){
	$('#target').html('<p>System error - not processing related!</p>');
});

Note that there' are both a done() and error() handler attached to this. sucess() will always fire as long as the call itself goes through - there's no guarantee that the processing was successful.

target is a variable, not a constant, so i can't put it in quotes.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

Yes, it works until I run swapContent().

 

No, just a single run, not whenever found on the page through soft refresh.

 

I solved it temporarily with a hard refresh just for that page.

 

I'm asking why it only triggers once on the page in the jquery forum: https://forum.jquery.com/topic/errors-between-ajax-and-accordian

 

It could be a bigger problem than just accordion.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

this is my jquery imports:
 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

Here's the example of what I have for compliant code:
 

<div id="accordion">

    <div>
    </div>

    <h3></h3>
    <div>
    </div>

[odd behavior with $.ajax]

my function works, but they're suggesting improvements to it.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

if it's correct, why doesn't it run every time you click the load statement, and has static html in it?

[odd behavior with $.ajax]

i knew that already, i was hoping that maxxd would be able to advise me on what i missed.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

It responds with the proper html, which I knew from part 1 it was the proper from going down this path.  I know narrowed it down to the accordion call of:
 

$(function() {
    $( "#accordion" ).accordion({
        collapsible: true,
        active: false,
        heightStyle: "content"
    });
    console.log('ran');
});

It could be your host, unless it's your own hosting service.

[odd behavior with $.ajax]

 The code you suggested I use broke, so I'm now trying to go from:

function swapContent(href, url_data, target) {
    $.ajax({
        type:'get',
        url:href,
        beforeSend:function(){
            target.innerHTML="Doing something - please wait.";
        },
        data:url_data,
    }).done(function(ajaxObject){
        var resp = JSON.parse(ajaxObject);
        if(resp.success == true){
            target.innerHTML="Woot!";
        }else{
            target.innerHTML='Processing error - system returned false!';
        }
    }).error(function(){
        target.innerHTML='System error - not processing related!';
    });
}

The error I get is "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <"

crashed on:
Doing something - please wait.

 

Your $('#target') it didn't run.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

I use this for my ajax ATM:

function swapContent(href, url_data, target) {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
cache: false,
url: href+'?' + url_data, //add a variable to the URL that will carry the value in your i counter through to the PHP page so it know's if this is new or additional data
success: function (data) { // this param name was confusing, I have changed it to the "normal" name to make it clear that it contains the data returned from the request
//load more data to "target" value div
target.innerHTML = (data); // as above, data holds the result of the request, so all the data returned from your results.php file are in this param but please see below
}
})
}

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

What exactly is a "soft refresh" in your mind?  If it stops working after an ajax load are you sure there isn't a javascript error in the console after the ajax?

soft refresh (ajax call) is like a soft start on a computer (software reset)

hard refresh (f5) is like a hard refresh on a computer (shut down, and power on again)

 

The error is the accordion breaks, so it's an id10t error, not a syntax error.

[Only load Ajax function once and delay text being shown.]

You could do a set interval.

[has anyone ever experienced an ajax load causing a jquery accordion failure, but not a real refresh?]

How do you solve an error where a soft refresh of data causes an accordion to fail, but on a hard refresh it works just fine?

example:

$(function() {
    $( "#accordion" ).accordion({
        collapsible: true,
        active: false,
        heightStyle: "content"
    });
    console.log('ran');
});
