Ajax varilables using php load to next page

To clarify, you are using a form control to trigger an AJAX script.  The script queries the database for the price and other info, and returns to HTML elements.  You want to be able to pass this information to the form handler once the form is submitted.  Is that correct?

When your AJAX script returns the info, put it into hidden form fields as well as your display element.  When the form is submitted, your handler will be able to see the data in $_POST just like the 'normal' fields.

Yeah! That is what I am confused about though, is how to get those fields loaded via ajax in to a hidden form.

Ryan

you have to put hidden feild in 'spaPricesD.php" in this page and also in current page now before submit the current form u have to asign the value of hidden ajax form feild to current form feild. it will work fine.
looking for code snipt write to me.

Alrighty, I think I get what you are saying, so below is my code for that page, spaPricesD.php.

Do I put my form say the bottom with the names of the field being that ones I want to send over.

<script>
var groupText="";
<?php
include_once ("config.php");
 
if($_REQUEST["state_id"]){
  $state_id     = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_REQUEST["state_id"]));
  $sql    = "SELECT displayPrice,displaySize,state_id FROM spa_states WHERE state_id=$state_id";
  $query  = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    if ($row["displayPrice"]!="") {
      print "\ngroupText='<b>$".$row["displayPrice"]." for ".$row["displaySize"]." column inche(s).</b>';";  
      print "\nparent.document.getElementById('GroupPrice').innerHTML=groupText;";
 
    }
    else {
      print "\ngroupText='No price/data for this ID.'";
    }    
  }
}
else{
  print "\ngroupText='Must have a valid ID to continue.'";
}
?>
 
</script>

Thank you! Now when i navigate to this page to test it: http://127.0.0.1/clients/newspapersofamerica/?p=calc-spa-d

No matter what state I pick it does:

Loading prices for Georgia...

And doesnt print out values. Below is my spaPricesD.php

<script>
var groupText="";
<?php
include_once ("config.php");
 
if($_REQUEST["state_id"]){
  $state_id     = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_REQUEST["state_id"]));
  $sql    = "SELECT displayPrice,displaySize,state_id FROM spa_states WHERE state_id=$state_id";
  $query  = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    if ($row["displayPrice"]!="") {
      print "\ngroupText='<b>$".$row["displayPrice"]." for ".$row["displaySize"]." column inche(s).</b>';";  
      print "\nparent.document.getElementById('GroupPrice').innerHTML=groupText;";
 
    }
    else {
      print "\ngroupText='No price/data for this ID.'";
    }    
  }
}
else{
  print "\ngroupText='Must have a valid ID to continue.'";
}
print " <input type='hidden'  id='state_id' value='".$state_id."' />";

hi i just gave u an example of getting state_id . i don know whether its required or not so plz do the hidden field of which u want in ajax call page and same in ur main form u ll get the data post.
 thnx
kailash
kailashju78@gmail.com
http://mettlewebsolution.blogspot.com

So I have:

<input type="hidden" name="state_id" value="">          
            <input type="hidden" name="price" value="">
            <input type="hidden" name="size" value="">
            <input type="hidden" name="paper_name" value="">
            <script type='javascript' >
            function setvalue(){
               document.getElementById('state_id_submit').value=document.getElementById('state_id').value;
            }
            </script>

For this line:
               document.getElementById('state_id_submit').value=document.getElementById('state_id').value;

Do I copy/paste that for my other form fields I added in?

Like so:

            <input type="hidden" name="state_id" id="state_id" value="">           
            <input type="hidden" name="price" id="price" value="">
            <input type="hidden" name="size" id="size" value="">
            <input type="hidden" name="paper_name" id="paper_name" value="">
            <script type='javascript' >
            function setvalue(){
               document.getElementById('state_id').value=document.getElementById('state_id').value;
               document.getElementById('price').value=document.getElementById('price').value;
               document.getElementById('size').value=document.getElementById('size').value;
               document.getElementById('paper_name').value=document.getElementById('paper_name').value;
            }
            </script>

Select allOpen in new window

With this code below I get:

selD.selectedIndex is undefined
http://127.0.0.1/clients/newspapersofamerica/?p=calc-spa-d
Line 59

Line 59 is:
  var stateD = selD.options[selD.selectedIndex].text;

Of this section of code below:

// USED FOR DISPLAY SPA
var currentIdD = -1;
var tIdD       = "";
function showPriceD() {
  var theForm = document.forms[1];
  var selD = theForm.state_id;
  var idD = theForm.state_id.value;
  if (currentIdD == idD) return; // not changed
  currentIdD=idD;
  var stateD = selD.options[selD.selectedIndex].text;
  var priceD = theForm.price.value;
  var sizeD = theForm.size.value;
  var paper_nameD = theForm.paper_name.value;
  var locD = 'spaPricesD.php?state_id='+idD+'&price='+priceD+'&size='+sizeD+'&paper_name='+paper_nameD;
  document.getElementById('GroupPrice').innerHTML= 'Loading prices for '+stateD+'...';
  window.if1.location=locD;
}

Not sure why it is doing that, I didn't change my select drop-down, I only touched the hidden fields at the bottom of my form. What can I do to fix that?

Thanks for  your help, appreciate it.

why did u got last error  i don know but for ajax
you have to assign four hidden feild in ur spapriced.php
state_id_ajax,price_ajax,size_ajax,paper_name_ajax
put the value when call the ajax
now in ur main page create four hidden feild
state_id_submit,price_submit,size_submit,paper_name_submit
now u call javacsript when u submit the value
document.getElementById('state_id_submit').value=document.getElementById('state_id_ajax').value;
               document.getElementById('price_submit').value=document.getElementById('price_ajax').value;
               document.getElementById('size_submit').value=document.getElementById('size_ajax').value;
               document.getElementById('paper_name_submit').value=document.getElementById('paper_name_ajax').value;

Does that look right?

Thank you for your help! I have never done passing ajax to php variables to send to a page, so I am lost, haha.

I fixed that error, my new code for spaPricesD.php is below:

<script>
var groupText="";
<?php
include_once ("config.php");
 
if($_REQUEST["state_id"]){
    
  $state_id     = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_REQUEST["state_id"]));
  $sql          = "SELECT displayPrice,displaySize,state_id FROM spa_states WHERE state_id=$state_id";
  $query        = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
  
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    if ($row["displayPrice"]!="") {
      print "\ngroupText='<b>$".$row["displayPrice"]." for ".$row["displaySize"]." column inche(s).</b>';\n";  
      print "\nparent.document.getElementById('GroupPrice').innerHTML=groupText;\n";
    }else{
      print "\ngroupText='No price/data for this ID.'";
    }    
    }
}
else{
  print "\ngroupText='Must have a valid ID to continue.'";
}
?>
</script>
<?
print "\n<input type='hidden'  id='state_id_ajax' value='".$state_id_ajax."' />";

print "\n<input type='hidden'  id='price_ajax' value='".$price_ajax."' />";

Where do we stand on getting that to work, so far it doesn't carry over to the confirm page.

I made some changes, I made variables for: price, size, and state, and am using php to insert to the variable then insert in to the ID, check out my code.

    <script>
    // declare variables
    var groupText = "";
    var price     = "";
    var size      = "";
    
    <?php
    include_once ("config.php");
    if($_REQUEST["state_id"]){
        $state_id     = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_REQUEST["state_id"]));
        $sql          = "SELECT displayPrice,displaySize,state_id FROM spa_states WHERE state_id=$state_id";
        $query        = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
            if ($row["displayPrice"]!=""){
                print "\ngroupText='<b>$".$row["displayPrice"]." for ".$row["displaySize"]." column inche(s).</b>';\n";  
                print "\nparent.document.getElementById('GroupPrice').innerHTML=groupText;\n";
                
                // set price equal to php value
                print "\n price = '".$row["displayPrice"]."'";
                // set size equal to php value
                print "\n size = '".$row["displaySize"]."'";
                print "\nparent.document.getElementById('price').value = price;\n";
            }else{
                print "\ngroupText='No price/data for this ID.'";
            }    
        }
    }else{
        print "\ngroupText='Must have a valid ID to continue.'";
    }
    ?>
