bmx322 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hello! I'm new to ajax but have been programming for over 6 years with PHP. The issue I am having is: I get "undefined" as the only output from my test scripts. I have two files: test.html and testimo_query.php. I've been at this for 5 hours now. I've looked at a multitude of examples and did a couple tutorial, yet I can't seem to get any data. What is wrong (not with me silly- the code LOL) Thanks to all who take the time to help! Here are the two files. test.html <html> <head> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript type="text/javascript"> var http = createRequestObject(); function createRequestObject() { // find the correct xmlHTTP, works with IE, FF and Opera var xmlhttp; try { xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch(e) { try { xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch(e) { xmlhttp=null; } } if(!xmlhttp&&typeof XMLHttpRequest!="undefined") { xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } return xmlhttp; } // Make the XMLHttpRequest object function sendRequest() { // Open PHP script for requests try{ http.open("GET", "testimo_query.php", true); http.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', "text/text"); http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse; http.send(null); } catch(e){ // caught an error alert('Request send failed.'); } } function handleResponse() { try{ if(http.readyState == 4){ var response = http.responseText.documentElement; // UPDATE ajaxTest content document.getElementById("ajaxDiv").innerHTML = response; } } catch(e){ // caught an error alert('Response failed.'); } } function repeatloop() { sendRequest(); setTimeout("repeatloop()", 10000); } window.onload=function() { repeatloop(); } </script> </head> <body> <div id='ajaxDiv'></div> </body> </html> testimo_query.php <?php include("dbconnect.php"); $sql = "select q2b,q2a from 'TABLE NAME HERE' order by id_client desc limit 1"; $rs = mysql_query($sql); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)){ $fn = $row['q2b']; $ln = $row['q2a']; $response = "$fn <br />"; $response .= "$ln"; $response .= "inside TESTIMO"; } echo $response; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 What does firebug's console show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx322 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 IE 8 and FF just shows "undefined" as the only output. It seems I'm not getting any data back from the database but I'm real good with PHP and SQL, I double checked that, it seems fine. All I really did was imitate what was on the tutorials and examples as far as the PHP page is concerned. Thanks for responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 http.responseText.documentElement That property doesn't exist, hence the undefined. Just use http.responseText. (http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#text-response-entity-body) Also, why are you doing a while loop for a query with a LIMIT 1? Also, inside the query, you're setting $response over again each loop meaning you will only get the last result in it (assuming you had more than 1 result).

bmx322 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 And may I say! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I took out the part you mentioned and all is well. As for the "Limit 1" and rewriting the $response; That was intentional during testing. I am going to expand the code to get a different record each time. Again! Thank you!!
