infinite scrolling bug produces duplicate values and doesn't fetch all the remaining posts

Recommended Posts

i'm indulged in a project(started 5 months ago) requiring infinite scrolling pagination where i couldn't get the javascript working because it keeps on producing duplicate posts from php script. I tried the mysql query in phpmyadmin and it didnt produce any duplicate queries and i require help in getting a seamless pagination without duplicate queries like facebook for the project to take off. 

Here are the scripts that i have been working so, far.
Javascript from home page:

    var load=0;
         
         var sess_uname="<?php echo $session_uname;?>";
         var f_uname="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['u']);?>";
         var sess_count="<?php echo $total_sess_count;?>";
         var f_count="<?php echo $total_friend_count;?>";
        var funame="<?php echo $f_uname0;?>";
    $(".message").html("<div style='display: flex; justify-content: center;'><h1>Loading Posts...</h1>    "+spinner1+"</div>").show();
         if(sess_uname==f_uname){
             $(window).scroll(function(){
                  //alert($(window).scrollTop()); 
              // alert($(window).scrollTop()+" "+$(document).height()-$(window).height());
                 if($(window).scrollTop()==$(document).height()-$(window).height()){
                     var sub=$(document).height()-$(window).height();
          //lert(sub);
               // alert($(window).scrollTop()+"  "+sub); 
                load++;
        //  alert(load+" "+sess_count);
                 if(load * 2 > sess_count){
                     $(".message").html("<h1>no more posts to show </h1>");
                 }else{
          
                     $.post("st&com.php", {"load":load,"sess_count":sess_count},function(data){
            $(".message").html(spinner1).show();         
            $("#status_area").append(data);
                        $(".hide").hide();
            $(".message").html(spinner1).hide();            
      
        });
                 }
                 }
             });
         }else {
             $(window).scroll(function(){
               
                 if($(window).scrollTop()==$(document).height()-$(window).height()){
                 load++;
       // alert($(window).scrollTop()+"  "+$(document).height()-$(window).height());
                 if(load *2 >f_count){
                     $(".message").html("<h1>no more posts to show here</h1>");
                 }else{
                    
                     $.post("status_list.php", {funame:funame, load:load},function(data){
            $(".message").html(spinner1).show();         
            $("#status_area").append(data);
                        $(".hide").hide();
            $(".message").html(spinner1).hide();            
            
                     });
                 }
                 }
             });    
         }   
        $(document).on("click", ".close_edit",function(){
            var id=$(this).attr("type");
           $(".session_editor"+id).hide();
           $(".status_"+id).show();
           
        });

    $id=$v;
    print_r($ids[$i]);
    //fetch username from update table in db and inject it to the feed query.
       
    
    $totalUpdates=$project->totalUpdates($ids[$i],$_SESSION['uname'] ,$load);   
      $i++;
     
        /*

DB query from classes.php:

    public function totalUpdates($friend,$session, $load) {
        try{
       
       $sql2="SELECT distinct update_id,update_body,time,title,user_id_u,account_name,author,data FROM updates where author in (:friend,:session) order by time desc limit $load,2";
            $stmth=  $this->_db->prepare($sql2);//Check here syntax of $db 
        $stmth->bindValue(":session",$session);
        $stmth->bindValue(":friend",$friend);
        $stmth->execute();
        return $stmth->fetchAll();
        } catch (PDOException $ei){
            echo $ei->getMessage();
        }
    }

i hope some expert who is interested in the problem can share his views and help me solve the javascript bug that keeps on repeatedly producing duplicate values and not fetching all the remaining posts from db.

ok @requinix here is the situation i created this script with an online tutorial long ago but it was a simple one involving only one session name and it worked fine but later i tried to involve other users name to fetch what updates they have posted along with the session name. That's when the problem's started to follow the ajax seems to only produce repeated post values(397 &396) in what they were fetching from the database. But its a lot complex involving three other and growing number of other users who might give feedback to the project through a tinymce instance. after folllowing your advice i found that it was the ajax that seems to be producing duplicate values, i used the querybox in phpmyadmin to get the desired unique results for the mysql query but the ajax in infinite scrolling script is the culprit, i don't know how to fetch unique values for my project other than thisi'm looking for ideas or guidance in making it a working script. other than this javascript is not my forte if you need further info pl ask me bluntly too i dont mind its a learning curve with a teacher for me.
