Intergrating AJAX Technology Into Your Modifications

[Akex]

First, thank you for this tutorial, very helpful.

You forgot to put one key world in your javascript code : handler

So this code :

function My_AJAX_Reciever()
{
	if (My_AJAX_Object.readyState == 4 && My_AJAX_Object.status == 200 && My_AJAX_Object.responseText)
	{
		alert('Data recieved successfully\n\n' + My_AJAX_Object.responseText)
	}
}

Becomes

function My_AJAX_Reciever()
{
	if (My_AJAX_Object.handler.readyState == 4 && My_AJAX_Object.handler.status == 200 && My_AJAX_Object.handler.responseText)
	{
		alert('Data recieved successfully\n\n' + My_AJAX_Object.handler.responseText)
	}
}

I did the code above but it didn't work at first.
I changed the $_POST to $_GET then I passed test.php?do=ajax&pagevar=rrr in the address bar and it worked.
But using $_GET is insecure.

Can someone make a small working example like a simple chat?

look at vbshout
its like a simple chat

the missing .handler. should really added to the first posts example

this was very useful, thanks

yes it's great start to integrate own ajax things.. I used rico.js but looks like it creates problems with some vb javascript so I change everything to vb-ajax now

For the JavaScript written in post 7 by " LiveWire " how can we add auto refresh so every 5 min it will check certain variables in a PHP file if its exist then small popup will shown if no nothing will happen and all of this will happen without the manually refresh.

so for the:

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'ajax')
{
    echo $_POST['pagevar'];
    exit;
} 


could i change it to:

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'ajax')
{
    echo $_POST['$variable'];
    exit;
} 


if $variable is defined in the global_start?

[akanevsky]

Yes.

[rogersnm]

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'ajax')
{
    echo $_POST[$i] . '|||';
    echo $_POST[$really] . '|||';
    echo $_POST[$suck] . '|||';
    exit;
} 


So once i have done that can i just put $suck in a template and it will automatically refresh when the user clicks a link?

What should i use for onclick?: eg <a href='#' onclick='return Who knows'>Refresh</a>

DOES ANYONE HAVE A WORKING EXAMPLE OF THIS?
