Home › Forums › JavaScript › Get output from php using jquery
I’ve been looking into $.post, $.get, and $.ajax to get my desired result but I can’t seem to make headway. Here is what I’m trying to accomplish:
3 files: index.php, file.js, output.php
index.php:
user inputs text in a box
file.js:
using .change() or .blur() the jquery pulls in the text and sends the value to output.php.
output.php:
takes the value and compares it to an array. if a match is found a message is displayed on index.php
I have all the pieces of the puzzle. Just can’t quite to get them to fit. Any ideas?
probably need a little more info than that to be honest :) Can you give any more detail?
Basically the form will store data to a database. I’m trying to dynamically check to ensure the field pageName doesn’t already exist.
When the user enters text into the textbox and loses focus I want the jquery/javascript to send the value of the textbox to php, have php check if the name is on the database by pulling the names with a select query and comparing the results. if a match is found a message that says "name exists" will display next to the textbox.
this might help you lots :)
yep! perfect. Turns out my code was almost spot on. Had to make a few adjustments that I didn’t see. thanks!
awesome :D
