GB_001 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I made a script in AJAX that echos out what the user puts in a form, but if someone was viewing the page they would not see what was echoed how would I be able to do that and specify who will see it? For example: A chat system. <html> <body> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- //Browser Support Code function ajaxFunction(){ var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible! try{ // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e){ // Internet Explorer Browsers try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e){ // Something went wrong alert("Your browser broke!"); return false; } } } // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){ var ajaxDisplay = document.getElementById('meh'); ajaxDisplay.innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText; } } var url = "serverTime.php"; var pum = document.myForm.username.value; ajaxRequest.open("GET", url+"?haha="+pum, true); ajaxRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); ajaxRequest.send(null); } //--> </script> <div id='meh'> BOOM </div> <form name='myForm' action='serverTime.php' method='get'> Name: <input type='text' name='username' id='pum'/> <br /> <input type='button' name='submit' onClick="ajaxFunction();"/> </form> </body> </html> serverTime.php <?php $OHMYWORD=$_GET['haha']; echo "$OHMYWORD"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpQuestioner Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I was wondering how I can let other users see the what I inputed. For example, a chat. I think your having trouble with the concept of how to do this. You will have to create a data table in your database for your chat text to be stored in. Once you create that; you need to create a PHP script to insert the chat text into your data table and echo out the chat text from the data table in this page. You set your AJAX script up to send your chat text from your HTML form to the PHP script (that inserts the chat text into your data table). You then have your AJAX function to get the responseText from your PHP page and display it in your "meh" div. You would then create a setTimeout for this AJAX function; so that the PHP echo will be displayed in your HTML page, every X number of seconds. This is the basic idea of what you will need to do. I suggest trying some searching for AJAX Chat Scripts to see how it is all put together; you may want to start here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=AJAX+Chat+Script&btnG=Google+Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
