Hi All and thanks for your time! I am new to AngularJS and currently working on my first form with server side part. I am running on VirtualBox, used Yeoman to set up.
my HTML has 2 fields: username and password, that are in turn passed to the js file:
function authUsers($scope, $http) {
$scope.url = '../api/authUsersService.php'; // The url of our search
// The function that will be executed on button click (ng-click="search()")
$scope.loginAttempt = function() {
// Create the http post request
// the data holds the keywords
// The request is a JSON request.
alert($scope.session.username);alert($scope.session.password);
$http.post($scope.url, { "username" : $scope.session.username, "password" : $scope.session.password}).
success(function(data, status) {
$scope.status = status;
$scope.data = data;
$scope.result = data; // Show result from server in our <pre></pre> element
alert(data);
})
.
error(function(data, status) {
$scope.data = data || "Request failed";
$scope.status = status;
alert(data);
alert(status);
});
};
}
I am getting the 2 alerts (username, password). This file and the HTML itself is under Angular's APP folder. outside the folder, in the same containing folder: I created 'API' folder. this is the file api/authUsersService.php:
<?php
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
$objData = json_decode($data);
// Create connection
$con=mysqli_connect("example.com","peter","abc123","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con)) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con, "select userID from authUsers where username = " . $objData->username . " and password = " . $objData->password);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
echo $row["userID"];
} else {
echo "";
}
?>
when the HTML form is submitted, i am getting all the alerts from the controller (js file), including the ".error" ones. the data i am getting inside the error: "cannot post to /api/authUsersService.php" and the status is "404".
i couldn't find any solution. tried an .htaccess in the var\www\http folder, didnt help. please help me successfully get to the PHP server code! thanks!
