abitlikehomer Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Your getNews.php script which is called via ajax could (and should) send this data back with the rest of the news. It does but not in the right format - it sends everything back all in one line. So the NewsID, Title, Date and Content all do get pulled from the server but its like it is in one string rather than separately. I can't separate it so I cant then edit the news story. Â If I knew how to separate each section into its own and then display them individually into each text box I would have accomplished it. Â Does that make sense? Is there a way I could upload a screen shot of what I mean?

Catfish Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm not sure exactly how AJAX works, but I read that you have trouble because the data is all in one string, so couldn't you add some characters between each piece of the news data and then explode on those characters to seperate each part of the news data?

Zane Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 This is a javascript question.  if you want to have Form 1 "submit" to Form2 then you're not submitting at all. When you submit something... the page changes, unless you alter the onSubmit function. But you're not pushing submit after the dropdown selection, you're pushing it after the data has been retrieved (by a dropdown selection) and has been edited (if at all). Which is why having two forms kind of cancels itself out. Though having two forms isn't exactly necessary you can still get the job done with it. I guess it would ...keep it organized or something.  something like document.forms.getForm.mySelectionbox.onChange = function() {   //AJAX call to getNews.php?id=mySelectedbox.value   //Then update the HTML elements in the form (or other form)\   //Something like   document.forms.editForm.title = myajaxdata.title; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187746-undefined-index-error-trying-to-pass-variable-to-another-page/page/2/#findComment-991489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried looking through the tutorials on the W3Schools website and some work for me others don't. I can't get things to display using XML - just the Textproperty. I don't know enough on either AJAX or Javascript really but I am trying.  Anybody know of any other good tutorials out there? Basically what I am trying to do is to select an option from a drop down menu - populate the other appropriate fields which can then be editted and finally saving off the editted version of the form. It seems near impossible to do.  So far I can select the data and populate the form areas, but it populates the entire string rather than parts of it - this is where returning the data as xml would help but for some reason I can't get that to work either.  Any help please....

trq Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 As Catfish mentioned, all you really need do is delimit your data (in php) by some character that you can then use to separate it (in javascript). Â So, in getNews.php you could return your data by..... Â echo $NewsID . '||' . $Title . '||' . $Date . '||' . $Content; Â You can now split this data within javascript and populate your form. Something like..... Â function stateChanged() { Â if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) Â Â Â { Â Â Â Â var data = xmlhttp.responseText.split('||'); Â Â Â Â document.forms.editForm.newsID = data[0]; Â Â Â Â document.forms.editForm.title = data[1]; Â Â Â Â document.forms.editForm.date = data[2]; Â Â Â Â document.forms.editForm.content = data[3]; Â Â Â } } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187746-undefined-index-error-trying-to-pass-variable-to-another-page/page/2/#findComment-992009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Actually, I didn't think of that. That can be an issue, but one that is easy fixed. Just tack a random number onto the request.

I've also deleted all cookies, just in case.

trq Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Huh.... I didn't actually notice you already had a random number appended to the url. Â Not sure where to go from here really. The code in question could not possibly produce the output firebug is saying.
