PHP - AJAX and MySQL

AJAX can be used to communicate interactively with the database.

AJAX database instance

The following example will demonstrate How a web page reads information from the database through AJAX:

html page display

Explanation of examples - MySQL database

In the above example, the database table we use is as follows:

Explanation of examples - HTML page

When the user selects a user in the drop-down list above, the function named "showUser()" will be executed. This function is triggered by the "onchange" event:

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
     <title>Title</title>
 
     <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","getuser.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">John Doe</option>
         <option value="2">tom Mary</option>
         <option value="3">lijing liuqi</option>
         <option value="4">liu li</option>
     </select>
 </form>
 <br>
 <div id="txtHint"><b>数据库信息展示在这</b></div>
 
 </body>
 </html>

showUser() function will perform the following steps:

· Check whether a user is selected

· Create an XMLHttpRequest object

· Create a function that executes when the server response is ready

· Send a request to a file on the server

· Please note the parameter (q) added to the end of the URL (including the drop-down list Content)

PHP file

The server page called above through JavaScript is a PHP file named "database" .

The source code in database.php" will run a query against the MySQL database and return the results in an HTML table:

database.php file

<?php
 $q=$_GET["q"];
 
 $con = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','root','test');
 if (!$con)
 {
     die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error($con));
 }
 
 //mysqli_select_db($con,"ajax_demo");
 $sql="SELECT * FROM Myguests WHERE id = '".$q."'";
 
 $result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
 
 echo "<table border='1'>
 <tr>
 <th>firstname</th>
 <th>lastname</th>
 <th>email</th>
 <th>Age</th>
 
 </tr>";
 
 while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
 {
     echo "<tr>";
     echo "<td>" . $row['firstname'] . "</td>";
     echo "<td>" . $row['lastname'] . "</td>";
     echo "<td>" . $row['email'] . "</td>";
     echo "<td>" . $row['Age'] . "</td>";
    ;
     echo "</tr>";
 }
 echo "</table>";
 
 mysqli_close($con);
 ?>

Explanation: When a query is sent from JavaScript to a PHP file, what happens is:

1. PHP opens a connection to the MySQL database

2. Found Selected user

3. Create an HTML table, fill in the data, and send back the "txtHint" placeholder
