I am working on a JQuery script that essentially pulls data from a select box based on input and either hides/shows variables based on selection (testing data in currently)
I have the script working as far as JQUERY refreshing and updating the values. My current issue is that I cannot seem to get the variable to pass through for use in other steps.
Here is what I have so far. Now I have a problem passing the variable through to the next step.
This is the JQuery/HTML section:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function() {
// When the form is submitted to PHP Call
$('#crs').submit(function() {
// Get form data ready for PHP Call
var Sphone = $('#crs #Sphone').val();
var Schat = $('#crs #Schat').val();
var Smeet = $('#crs #Smeet').val();
var Sremo = $('#crs #Sremo').val();
var Sport = $('#crs #Sport').val();
var Smail = $('#crs #Smail').val();
var Svoic = $('#crs #Svoic').val();
var Sfax = $('#crs #Sfax').val();
// put form data in a JSON format that will be sent to the PHP File
var data_json = {'Sphone':Sphone, 'Schat':Schat, 'Smeet':Smeet, 'Sremo':Sremo, 'Sport':Sport, 'Smail':Smail, 'Svoic':Svoic, 'Sfax':Sfax};
// Set AJAX method
// If succeeds, goes to the next step
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'script.php',
data: data_json,
beforeSend: function() {
// before send the request, displays a "Loading..." messaj in the element where the server response will be placed
$('#resp').html('Loading...');
},
timeout: 10000, // sets timeout for the request (10 seconds)
error: function(xhr, status, error) { alert('Error: '+ xhr.status+ ' - '+ error); },
success: function(response) { $('#resp').html(response); }
});
return false; // required to not open the page when form is submited
});
});
--></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="resp"></div>
<h4>Fill the form:</h4>
<form action="script.php" method="post" id="crs">
Phone Support: <select name="Sphone" id="Sphone">
<option value="Pen1">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />

<option value="Pen2">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />

<option value="Pen3">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />

<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />

<option value="Pen3">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />
Ticket By Voicemail: <select name="Svoic" id="Svoic">
<option value="Pen3">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />
Ticket By Fax: <select name="Sfax" id="Sfax">
<option value="Pen3">Yes</option>
<option value="">No</option>
</select><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
This is the PHP section.
if(isset($_POST['Sphone']) && isset($_POST['Schat']) && isset($_POST['Smeet']) && isset($_POST['Sremo']) && isset($_POST['Sport']) && isset($_POST['Smail']) && isset($_POST['Svoic']) && isset($_POST['Sfax'])) {
$_POST = array_map("strip_tags", $_POST); // Gets rid of tags in POST Call
// get data
$Sphone = $_POST['Sphone'];
$Schat = $_POST['Schat'];
$Smeet = $_POST['Smeet'];
$Sremo = $_POST['Sremo'];
$Sport = $_POST['Sport'];
$Smail = $_POST['Smail'];
$Svoic = $_POST['Svoic'];
$Sfax = $_POST['Sfax'];
// Define Full Output of variable
$arrow ='<textarea name="supportArticle" cols="160" rows="15" wrap="virtual">'.$Sphone.' <br> '.$Schat.' <br> '.$Smeet.' <br> '.$Sremo.' <br> '.$Sport.' <br> '.$Smail.' <br> '.$Svoic.' <br> '.$Sfax.'</textarea>';
function passVariable($arrow)
{
return $arrow or die(mysql_error());
}
}
echo $arrow;
I did have more code above this, but that is just the database connection, etc.
This works fine to change the variables. Right now I have Pen 1, Pen 2, etc... as placeholders (with a break in between).
I want to keep all of this into one file. I tested this with a variable named $arrow and it will not echo this variable (added a DIE error to it also, then removed) - any takers?
