if, echo, not working.

Hiya peeps!

 

In my index page I have a search box that submits to search.php,

 

This is the code I am using in search.

 

<?php session_start();
include 'system/core/template.php';
$template = new template();

if(isset($_POST['keyword'])):
$js = 'alert(\'LOL\');
var key = "' . $_POST['keyword'] . '";
  $.post("system/core/switchboard.php?cmd=search", { key: key }, 
                function(data) {
	$("span#search").html(data);
	});
	return false;
		});';
endif;

$parts = array('TITLE' => 'Search',
		   'CONTAINERTWOTITLE' => '',
		   'CONTAINERTWOCONTENT' =>  '',
		   'CONTAINERTHREETITLE' => '',
		   'CONTAINERTHREECONTENT' => '',
		   'CONTAINERONETITLE' => 'Search Results.',
		   'CONTAINERONECONTENT' => '<span id="search"></span>',
		   'JQUERY' => '' . $js . ' 
		   $("form#search").submit(function(){

            var key = $("input#keyword").val();
	$.post("system/core/switchboard.php?cmd=search", { key: key }, 
                function(data) {
	$("span#search").html(data);
	});
	return false;
		});',
		   'INCLUDES' => '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/paginate.js"></script>
			<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/tablesort.js"></script>',
		   'IECSS' => 'ul.fdtablePaginater {display:inline-block;}
ul.fdtablePaginater {display:inline;}
ul.fdtablePaginater li {float:left;}
ul.fdtablePaginater {text-align:center;}
table { border-bottom:1px solid #C1DAD7; }');
$template->load($parts);
?>

 

The source code is containg all the correct data but, as you can see I have an alert() this is not working nor is the post.

 

I dont understand why. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Many thanks

 

James.

Anyone see any problems with my logic or syntax ?

 

Many thanks

Definitely not a guru; however...

 

Shouldn't the IF line have an opening brace rather than a colon? Also is the $js line missing an apostrophe?

 

Like I said no guru here, just seemd strange.

Hiya bud,

 

Thanks for the reply mate, the its PHP 5.0 so instead of having this...

 

if(continue) {

}else{

}

 

You have...

 

if(continue):

else:

endif;

 

And nah all it prints ok, but there is no action being made, LOL.

 

Many thanks

B to the U to the M to the P .

[mikesta707]

are you expecting the alert to happen when the if statement is true? if so maybe you should echo it so it actually gets written to the page an executed, rather than just storing it into a variable

[freakstyle]

is your form able to post to that page?

so before your conditional place:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
exit('debug post');

 

do you see your form data in there??

 

Another thing to test is the alert, try adding it to the template js statically just to test that you can set the alert like that.

 

 

Just to set the record, the colon used in place of the curly brace is not specific to php5. It is just an alternate way to write the control structures. Typically this alternative syntax is helpful for front end developers so you'll see it in view logic that designers and UI developers will potentially be working in.

This has nothing to do with php5 and can be used in any version of php as an alternative syntax. Its not common in the business layer but allot of people use this alternate syntax in there view layer.

Oh my bad, LOL. Sorry. I like this version better, I think it is more easier to read.

 

Many thanks
