Passing Php Data Through An Ajax Call

[Frisbetarian]

Hey all so Im trying to put data through an AJAX call into this div

 

		 <div class="scroll-pane2 blue small" style="">
		 <p id="bulletinBodyArea" style="margin-right:20px;"></p>
	 </div>

 

The AJAX is being triggered when one clicks on one of the links being fed from the database

 

		 <div class="bulletinSectionAccordion rounded">
		 <p class="blue" style="font-size:19px;margin-left:23px;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:10px;">Archives</p>
	 <?php


		 $query = "SELECT * FROM `bulletin` LEFT JOIN `bulletininschool` ON `bulletin`.`id`=`bulletininschool`.`bulletin` WHERE `school` = 2 ";
		 $result=$connection->query($query);

		 while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
		 echo '<p class="medium titi" style="margin-left:23px;">'.$row['title'].'</p>';
		 }
	 ?>
	 </div>

 

It gets called and then passes the data

 

	 $(".titi").click(
	 getBody
 );

 function getBody(){
	 $("#bulletinBodyArea").load('update/getBody.php');
 };

 

And this is the AJAX function

 

 <?php
$section='bulletin';
$table="bulletin";
$schoolSelectorTable="bulletininschool";
$schoolSelector="bulletin";

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "root";
$db_pass = "";
$db_name = "isl";


mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name);
mysql_select_db("isl") or die(mysql_error());


$states = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `bulletin` LEFT JOIN `bulletininschool` ON `bulletin`.`id`=`bulletininschool`.`bulletin` WHERE `school` = 2" );


while($state = mysql_fetch_array($states)){
echo "<p>".$state['body']."</p>";
}
?>

 

Now the links that one clicks that are fed from the database are actually article titles, and when one clicks on a specific title the AJAX call should go and fetch the body text associated with that article. But I'm having trouble understanding how I should go through that. I'm doing the correct queries and getting the titles and the bodies but I just cant figure out how to associate them. Do I pass a variable to the AJAX call?

 

Thank you

Indeed you need to pass a variable along with the Ajax request.
