Recommended Posts

I have this ajax script that works with php mysql.

When mysql gets 0 results, I want the page redirected. I find this impossible to do. Please if you could be thoughrough in your explination if you have my answer, I'm very new with ajax.

 

html page:

<head> 

<script language=Javascript> 

function Inint_AJAX() { 

  try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");  } catch(e) {} //IE 

  try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch(e) {} //IE 

  try { return new XMLHttpRequest();          } catch(e) {} //Native Javascript 

  alert("XMLHttpRequest not supported"); 

  return null; 

}; 

   

function dochange(src, val) { 

    var req = Inint_AJAX(); 

    req.onreadystatechange = function () { 

       

       

          if (req.readyState==3) { 

       

    document.getElementById('loading').innerHTML='<font id=loading>loading page...</font>'; 

   

      } 

       

          if (req.readyState==4) { 

   

          document.getElementById('loading').innerHTML=''; 

                 

              if (req.status==200) { 

              try { 

                    document.getElementById(src).innerHTML=req.responseText; //retuen value 

                    if (src == 'grab'){ 

               

                    fireMyPopup() 

    }                     

                 

                     

                    } catch(e) { 

                    //alert("Exception for " + src); 

                    } 

              } 

          } 

    }; 

   

    req.open("GET", "./connector.php?data1="+src+"&val="+val); //make connection 

    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=iso-8859-1"); // set Header 

    req.send(null); //send value 

     

   

</head> 

 

 

 

Now I have the connection.php page which looks something like this:

 

 

<?php 

// connect to db etc... 

   

$sql = mysql_query("some query"); 

if (mysql_num_rows($sql) > 0) { 

  echo 'some text into the main index page'; 

} else { 

    //need to redirect the index.html page to a different page... have tried doing header('location: ./page.html'); obviously that did not work... 

?>

 

 

 

I cannot make the connector.php page force a browser redirection.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

Make a block in Javascript that handles a certain flag returned by your AJAX request, and then either change the document location (better) or create a meta-refresh if you're paranoid (worse).

Example:

<ajax.php>
$data=array('good'=>false, 'list'=>array());
if (mysql_numrows($res)) {
$data['good']=true;
//... Insert you data or whatever in the list
}
echo json_encode($data);

<stuff.js>
function ajax_handle(str) {
//... Proper states, etc
eval("var data="+str); //Ghetto JSON decode
if (data.good) {
  //... Handle all the data
}
else document.location="redirect.php";
}

 

That's the basic jist of it.
