Not getting any result

[blingd]

Ive been having a problem with my php using xml ive gone through it for so long I still cant seem to find the error: Heres my php:

 

<?php
$VacancyDetailsRequest = simplexml_load_string($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

if (!$VacancyDetailsRequest)
	die("invalid request XML: if you sent XML did you set the request header to 'Content-Type', 'text/xml'  ?");

if (file_exists('vacancies.xml')) {

  		$details = simplexml_load_file('vacancies.xml');
  
  		if ($details) {
        		getVacancyDetails($details, $VacancyDetailsRequest->accountNumber);
		} else {
        	die('vacancies.xml not well formed');
  		} 
} else 
{
  		die('Failed to open vacancies.xml.');
}	


function getVacancyDetails($details, $accountNumber) {	
foreach ($details->vacancy as $vacancy) {
	if ((string)$vacancy->title == (string)$accountNumber) {
	foreach($vacancy->title as $company) {
			echo "<p>";
			echo htmlentities($company->asXML());
			echo "</p>";
		}
	}
}
}
?>

 

and heres my javascript for it:

 

   function getVacancyDetails(accountNumber) {
var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' ?>";
xml = xml + "<VacancyDetailsRequest  xmlns='http://cs.waikato.ac.nz/~stevej/333/banking/requests'><accountNumber>";
xml = xml + accountNumber;
xml = xml + "</accountNumber></VacancyDetailsRequest>";

ajaxRequest("getVacancyDetails.php", "POST", xml, true, showVacancyDetails, true);
}

function showVacancyDetails(response) {
var VacancyListDiv = document.getElementById("VacancyListDiv");
VacancyListDiv.innerHTML = response;
}
  

 

just in case heres my xml

I get no output.. can anybody see the error?

thankyou

[xtopolis]

ajaxRequest("getVacancyDetails.php", "POST", xml, true, showVacancyDetails, true);

function showVacancyDetails(response)

 

Could the reason be that your ajaxRequest() function , the argument for the callback function is not receiving it's own necessary argument?

[blingd]

I dnt get you? explain please?

[xtopolis]

ajaxRequest is a function that takes arguments.  The arguments I can see are:

"getVacancyDetails.php", "POST", xml, true, showVacancyDetails, true

 

which means somewhere there is a function defined similar to this:

function ajaxRequest(url, method, type, something, callback, something)

 

Your function: showVacancyDetails has it's own argument that it looks for (response)

In the main function ajaxRequest, it has showVacancyRequest as a function it calls when the ajax returns data.

 

However, I'm think that because it's calling showVacancyRequest which is equivalent to function showVacancyRequest()

that it is not the same as showVancancyRequest(argument).

 

It is hard to tell without seeing the code, but it looks similar to jQuery.  Do some alert tests and see at what point the program stops performing as you expect.

oh yep I understand now yep I put that in a seperate file: ajax.js:

function ajaxRequest(url, method, data, asynch, responseHandler, isXML)
{
  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  request.open(method, url, asynch);

  if (method == "POST")
  	request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
                           "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 
                           
  if (isXML)
  	request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');

  request.onreadystatechange = function()
  {
  alert(request.readyState);
    if (request.readyState == 4) {

	alert(request.readyState);
if (request.status == 200) {
          responseHandler(request.responseText);
      }
    }
  };
  request.send(data);
}

 

Yeh I did a command to output when the file is working but it seems to stop whenever I click on the link.

Now I understand what you mean xtopolis thanks for that. 

 

Ok so now I've added in a response handler in my ajax.js file but now in my job.js file ive added this in but dont know exactly what to write in the var myData = "hello";

anybody know??

 

 

   function getVacancyDetails(accountNumber) {

var myDivId = "vacancyId";
var myData = "hello";
var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' ?>";
xml = xml + "<VacancyDetailsRequest  xmlns='http://cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ap65/333/jobs/requests'><accountNumber>";
xml = xml + myData;
xml = xml + "</accountNumber></VacancyDetailsRequest>";

ajaxRequest("getVacancyDetails.php", "POST", xml, true, showVacancy, true, myDivId);
}

function showVacancy(response, VacancyListDiv) {
var VacancyListDiv = document.getElementById("VacancyListDiv");
VacancyListDiv.innerHTML = response;
}

[blingd]

Anybody???

[blingd]

Ok well I figured what the problem is:

 

It says that "getVacancyList is not defined" Just wondering what this means?? if someone could just explain briefly.

[xtopolis]

It means you're calling a function that doesn't exist, most likely due to naming errors or w.e.

 

You've lost me in your previous post when you were talking about "myData".  Try to consolidate your errors and break them down into smaller pieces and test them along the way to see where it breaks down in order to narrow your questions/problems down.

[blingd]

Scrap that before question about myData

 

New Question:

I'm getting a error which shows "getVacancyList not defined"

so this means its not defined in my javascript right?? well i've added that in like this:

vDivList is my reference that defines in in my php file..

so my question is what is wrong with this code? am I missing something.

 

function getVacancyDetails(accountNumber) {

var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' ?>";
xml = xml + "<VacancyDetailsRequest xmlns='http://cs.waikato.ac.nz/ap65/vacancies/requests'>";
xml = xml + "<accountNumber>" + accountNumber + "</accountNumber>";
xml = xml + "</VacancyDetailsRequest>";

ajaxRequest("getVacancyDetails.php", "POST", xml, true, showVacancy, true);
}

function showVacancy(response) {
var vListDiv = document.getElementById("vListDiv");
vListDiv.innerHTML = response;
}
