Onclick event calling php function from generated code

[krkec]

Hi

 

I created php function that creates table. I want to create onclick evant on <td> that calls php function showinfo($year,$month,$day). Variable $list_day is inserted when table is generated(local variable for function).  Variables $year,$month are global variables.

 

This is how I created <td>:

$calendar.= '<td onclick=showinfo($year,$month,'.$list_day.'); class="calendar-day_used">'.$list_day.'</td>';

This is what is generated from above code:

<td onclick="showinfo($year," $month,="" 21);="" class="calendar-day_used2">21</td>

What am I doing wrong???

 

Thanks in anvance

you can't directly call a php function from javascript. php is server-side. javascript is client-side. In order to do this, you need to have js do an ajax request to a php script that can run the function and return results, and then use javascript to show updated info or whatever.

if you are assembling the javascript on the server this should probably look more like...

$calendar.= '<td onclick=showinfo("'.$year.'","'.$month.'","'.$list_day.'"); class="calendar-day_used">'.$list_day.'</td>';

what I really want to do is when user click on cell of table (calendar date)  I want to show information about that date. Could you give mi some example?

There are literally thousands of AJAX tutorials out there on the web; it is a very common thing. Most all of them involve pulling and returning info from a database when something is clicked or changed (e.g. auto-complete search, dynamic multiple dropdowns, etc.). They are all the same principle. Just google "php ajax tutorial". If you get stuck at something specific, feel free to ask for help.

I study ajax as you suggested and come up with this code, but it still wont work.

Please help me figure out why it wont work???

 

in main page i put this:

<script>
function showData(godina, mjesec, dan)
{
showdiv();
/*if (str=="")
  {
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  } */
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("ispis").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("POST","analiza.php",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send("god =" + godina + "mj =" mjesec + "d =" +  dan);
}
</script>

and i call JS function by this:

$calendar.= '<td onclick= showData('.$year.','.$month.','.$list_day.'); class="calendar-day_used">'.$list_day.'</td>';

 in analiza.php I put:

<?php
if (array_key_exists('god', $_POST) && array_key_exists('mj', $_POST)) {
//xmlhttp.send("god =" + godina + "mj =" mjesec + "d =" +  dan);
    $godina = $_POST['god'];
    $godina = $_POST['mj'];
    $dan = = $_POST['d'];
    //$mjesec = ($_POST['bar']);
    // do stuff with params
		$calendar = '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="calendar">';
		$sql="SELECT * FROM `record` WHERE (`Datum` = '" . $godina . "-" . $mjesec . "-" . $dan. "')";
		$result=mysql_query($sql);
	
		// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
		$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH);
		$polje = explode("-", $row["Datum"]);
		$calendar = 'Ime i prezime: '.$row["ime"].'<br>'.
					'Datum dolaska je: ' . $row["Datum"].'<br>'.
					'Datum dolaska je: ' . $polje[0] . '-' . $polje[1] . '-' . $polje[2]+$row["3"].'<br>'.
					'Broj noćenja je: ' . $row["4"].'<br>'.
		$calendar = '<\table>';
    echo $calendar;

} else {
    echo 'Invalid parameters!';
}
?>

Where do I even begin... I count at least a dozen basic syntax errors, and that's not even counting logic errors,straight up missing needed code for other code to function, no error checking, no input validation... and judging by what I see here, my money is on there being massive errors in the code you didn't post.

 

I strongly advise you to step back and invest some time in learning the basic syntax rules of javascript and php, and also take some time to learn the methods of debugging javascript and php code How to check for errors. How to find out what the errors mean, etc.. You can't just copy and paste other people's code and expect it to work. You're trying to run before you've learned to walk or even crawl. You have to take the time to actually learn the language so that you can understand what it is doing and what is wrong with it.
