trq Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You would use javascript, not php. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164662-how-to-sort-vehicles-without-going-to-another-page/#findComment-868340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very powerfull, you can tell the javascript to load info from a seperate php page without realoding the page Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164662-how-to-sort-vehicles-without-going-to-another-page/#findComment-868343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You definitely don't need ajax for this, if you can simply want to reorder the results already on the page.

gigabyt3r Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I don't know Javascript or AJAX at the moment, which one would be easier and quicker for me to learn?

trq Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ajax is a methodology, not a language. You need to know Javascript and a server side language (such as php) to implement Ajax. Id' suggest you at least learn some Javascript basics and then take a look at a framework like jQuery. It makes light work of alot of common Javascript requirements.

gigabyt3r Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've read up on JavaScript on w3schools, but I'm still not sure what would be best to do to in my situation (which is wanting to filter results within a search query) If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.

npsari Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 hmm, what about using an Iframe? You can use an Iframe (but dont give it borders so people cant see it) But be careful, because some browsers disable Iframes, so u will propably upset some users Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164662-how-to-sort-vehicles-without-going-to-another-page/#findComment-868620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigabyt3r Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 So I need about 6 different pages to load in the iframe, called ford-transits-reg-year.php, ford-transits-color.php, ford-transit-roof-height,php etc? Is there a simpler way to do it? Because not only do I want to re-arrage the results I also want to filter out specific keywords.

trq Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm really not sure what an iframe has to do with your question, yet I pointed you to a solution many posts ago.

joel24 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 iframe's would take almost as much time as re-loading the entire page, and will require unnecessary PHP/MySQL calls when you can do it all instantly with jquery/javascript.... try this jquery plugin... its pretty simple you should get the hang of it http://tablesorter.com/docs/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164662-how-to-sort-vehicles-without-going-to-another-page/#findComment-870345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
