well after reading all the related topics still no success,
I have 4 files index.php with a simple form, after submit I use process.php to send back (ajax) errors to index.php using external script.js file and also send mail to the owner of this site,all i need is that the user will also be redirected to a thank-you.html page (if there are no errors of course) but no luck ,I have tried all the combinations suggested:
header("Location: http://www.mywebsite.com/thank-you.html");
header("Location:thank-you.html");
if (success).....
echo
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.website.com/thank-you.html";
//-->
</script>
I have tried to put it in the bottom of the process,php ,also in the top of the page also tried to put in the script.js-inside $ajax function but nothing:(((
Can anyone tell me what to do?
solved:
thank you all so much:))))) it should be inside the ajax function in the script , right after success: function(data){ I have placed it in the bottom of the script and it didnt work before but now its perfect!
If you're doing this inside of a jQuery $.ajax() call, use the "success" method instead.
$.ajax({
type: "post",
//etc...
success: function(){
window.location.href="thank-you.html"
}
});
The correct usage in JS is "window.location.href".
Also, a PHP file with "header" being set during an AJAX call won't redirect the client browser.
If I understand correctly you will need to handle the redirect once you get the response from process.php IE: in the success callback.
$.ajax({
success: function () {
window.location.href = 'thank-you.html';
}
});
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.website.com/thank-you.html";
//-->
</script>';
assuming that is from php you were missing quotes.
I handled it a little differently as I handled something similar recently. I have the PHP page echo back "true" (this could also just be an INT) and then run if/else statements in the ajax.
$.ajax({
url : "process.php",
type: "POST",
data : formData,
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
if (data == "true")
{
window.location = "http://www.website.com/thank-you.html";}
}

sorry if I am missing something simple here. I am using CakePHP 3 and the Friendsofcake Search plug-in and trying to load my results with AJAX. I am not sure what to set for the URL - my understanding is the FormHelper url and the AJAX url must match for SecurityComponent. However even with that disabled I cannot get the form to submit. Any help is appreciated. The plugin is working fine otherwise and I can submit other forms using AJAX just fine - I suspect I am missing something here (or it's not possible - I am a beginning programmer)
<?php
$formUrl='//'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].Router::url(['controller'=>'Treasures','action'=>'frontIndex']);
echo $this->Form->create('Treasure',['id'=>'myForm','url'=>$formUrl]);
echo $this->Form->input('q');
... (Form submit, end, etc.)
?>
<script>
$( "#myForm" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
async:true,
data:$(this).serialize(),
dataType:"html",
success:function (data, textStatus) {
$(".ajax-result").html(data);
},
type:"POST",
url:"<?=$formUrl?>"
});
</script>
<div class="ajax-result"></div>
Can someone tell me what I should be setting for the $formUrl? Currently the Controller action I am using this on successfully filters data with the search plugin and I have specialized the view to return AJAX results when requested - but there is obviously something else going on I am missing.
This works if I leave the URL blank and use GET instead of POST - should've thought of that sooner.
echo $this->Form->create('Treasure',['id'=>'myForm']);
...
?>
<script>
$( "#myForm" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
async:true,
data:$(this).serialize(),
dataType:"html",
success:function (data, textStatus) {
$(".ajax-result").html(data);
},
type:"GET"
});
</script>
Works as expected. Hope this helps someone!
My script attempts to load an image URL with ajax. If they image is not found ajax throws an 404 error. The script then loads a fallback image. This is intended, but I don't like that the browser console shows the 404 error of the image that was not found. Is that a way to mute the error? Or am I approaching this the wrong way?
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: try_img_url,
success: function(response){
//if finds the image, use it.
},
error: function(response){
//if does not find the image, use fall back image.
}
});
My other idea, was to check if the image url exists before making the ajax call, that way I would not have to make the call at all if the image doesn't exist. However, I am not sure how to do that.
I'm not sure if this is possible with JS but I would approach this by adding a small PHP script like eg getimage.php then use that to check if the file exists.
PHP:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['image']) && is_file($_GET['image'])) {
echo sprintf("<img src='%s' />", $_GET['image']);
} else {
echo "<img src='fallback.jpg' />";
}
?>
JavaScript:
$(function () {
$.get('getimage.php', function (data) {
$("body").html($("body").html() + data);
});
});
I have the following ajax code that takes in 3 variables and passes them to a php file, and this is all fine and dandy. I want to do a redirect using the value stored in one of these variables. I figured I could just do window.location.href = within the success in the ajax call, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to respond to the click, and simply does nothing.
Here is the ajax function, hope y'all can help!
$("#findItem").click(function() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
url: 'http://plato.cs.virginia.edu/~aam3xd/cabbage/closestBuildingWeb.php',
data: {
foodItemId: $('#foodItem').val(),
sentLongitude: position.coords.longitude,
sentLatitude: position.coords.latitude
},
success: function(data){
//$('#answer').html(data);
//the following line doesn't seem to be executing....
window.location.href = foodItemId+"/"+sentLatitude+"/"+sentLongitude;
}
});
});
I think you should use your url into that window.location
window.location.href = "www.example.com/"+foodItemId+"/"+sentLatitude+"/"+sentLongitude;
i have an ajax load request working in wordpress, but i would like to load the content from another page into the container div. at the moment it just passes the url in $dataToSend as a string?
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var $dataToSend = "my-page.php";
var $testBtn = jQuery('#text-ajax-btn');
var $holdingCtn = jQuery('#my-holding-ctn');
$testBtn.click(function(){
jQuery.ajax({
type:'POST',
url: myAjax.ajaxurl,
data:{
action:'myAjax',
dataToSend:$dataToSend,
},
success: function(data,textStatus,XMLHttpRequest){
$holdingCtn.html("");
$holdingCtn.append(data);
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(errorThrown);
}
});
});
});
how can i pass an entire .php page through as the $dataTosend?
I do this all the time for wordpress, give me a sec to access my repository and I will show you example code.
I think problem is your my-page.php! I imagine you custom coded it. So it doesn't have necessary functions loaded.
put following code at the top of your my-page.php (this will help with 500 error you are getting)
require('../../../wp-load.php');
ajax part should look something like this:
//start ajax
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost/wp-content/themes/theme/my-page.php",
type: "POST",
data: data,
cache: false,
success: function (data) {
console.dir(data);
}
})
If you want to load content from my-page.php file then you can load from the server side using
$data = file_get_contents('path/to/file/my-page.php'); // pass right path/url
Then, just echo the content from your function (registered ajax handler in WordPress using add_action) and in this case it should be
echo $data;
die(); // terminate the further execution
So, it should look something like
add_action( 'wp_ajax_myAjax', 'yourAjaxHandler' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_myAjax', 'yourAjaxHandler' );
function yourAjaxHandler(){
$data = file_get_contents('path/to/file/my-page.php');
die($data); // echo out the string and terminates execution
}
In your success callback, you can use
success: function(data){
jQuery('#my-holding-ctn').html(data);
}
Not sure if this is fully applicable, but the super easy way is just
$("#myDiv").load("myFile.php?foo=1&bar=2...");
I have a question.
How can I use Ajax on my templates...
in single.php I have :
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://www._____wp-content/themes/MS-MangoBerry___/myajax.php",
data: "yo",
cache: false,
success: function(data)
{
alert("yes");
}
});
And in myajax.php, I have
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("ok"); });
Then I have an error : Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in myajax.php
Why ?
Thanks in advance.
Please also have a look at this article http://www.garyc40.com/2010/03/5-tips-for-using-ajax-in-wordpress/#js-global
It suggests that all AJAX requests should be submitted to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
And the you could hook the request by using this code in functions.php
add_action('wp_ajax_your_ajax_action_name', 'method_name');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_your_ajax_action_name', 'method_name');
Then you could implement a method in functions.php
function method_name()
{
// do something or echo XML to return stuff
}
On the request you also need to send a parameter name 'action' with value of the action name.
in this case it would be action=your_ajax_action_name.
Hope this help :)
wordpress has a built ajax url that you need to use. this post will help you out.
http://geekpreneur.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-use-wpajax-in-wordpress.html
the tricky thing is how wordpress knows which function will accept your call back. it happens by adding an action. the hook of the action is your ajax action prepended with wp_ajax_
