Ajax and XML of PHP Novice Ajax and XML

Next we use a case to explain in detail:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<head>
<script>
function showUser(str){
	if (str==""){
		document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
		return;
	} 
	if (window.XMLHttpRequest){
		// IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari 浏览器执行代码
		xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
	}else{
		// IE6, IE5 浏览器执行代码
		xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	}

	xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
		if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
			document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
		}
	}
	xmlhttp.open("GET","3_2.php?q="+str,true);
	xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form>
	<select name="users" onchange="showUser(this.value)">
		<option value="">Select a person:</option>
		<option value="1">Peter Griffin</option>
		<option value="2">Lois Griffin</option>
		<option value="3">Glenn Quagmire</option>
		<option value="4">Joseph Swanson</option>
	</select>
</form>
<br>
<div id="txtHint"><b>Person info will be listed here.</b></div>
</body>
</html>

Next we create a php file, the code is as follows:

<?php
$q=$_GET["q"];

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("cd_catalog.xml");

$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('ARTIST');

for ($i=0; $i<=$x->length-1; $i++)
{
	// 处理元素节点
	if ($x->item($i)->nodeType==1)
	{
		if ($x->item($i)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue == $q)
		{
			$y=($x->item($i)->parentNode);
		}
	}
}

$cd=($y->childNodes);

for ($i=0;$i<$cd->length;$i++)
{ 
	// 处理元素节点
	if ($cd->item($i)->nodeType==1)
	{
		echo("<b>" . $cd->item($i)->nodeName . ":</b> ");
		echo($cd->item($i)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue);
		echo("<br>");
	}
}
?>

When the CD query is sent from JavaScript to the PHP page, it will happen :

1. PHP creates an XML DOM object

2. Finds names in all <artist> elements that match the data passed by JavaScript

3. Outputs the album information and send back the "txtHint" placeholder

Note: This code needs to be copied to local testing, provided that there is the database table we mentioned in the previous section
