POAJAX Inline Editing: Add PHP Update to new changes
text
Body
copied!<p>I’m working on a homepage and will use an AJAX inline editing script for the admin to make it as simple as possible. The script I’ve been using is <a href="http://valums.com/edit-in-place/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> and it has almost everything I wanted from an inline editing script. My problem arises when I’m going to capture the new changes and send them to a PHP function which will update my database with those new changes.</p> <p>I don’t have that much experience with AJAX and PHP together so I’m somewhat lost but I’ve tried a code I found:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "update_handler.php", data: "newfieldvalue=" + newValue, success: function(msg){ alert( "Data Saved: " + msg ); } }); </code></pre> <p>The problem is that I don’t quite know how or where to implement this code or if it’s even the right code to use. To show you the code I’ve attached two txt documents:</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70953/inline_editing/index.php.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Index.php.txt</a></p> <p>And</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70953/inline_editing/jquery.editableText.js.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jquery.editableText.js.txt</a></p> <p>In <code>index.php.txt</code> is the index page where it retrieves my data from the database and uses a bit of jQuery code. In the <code>jQuery.editableText.js.txt</code> is the concrete jQuery code. I guess that the PHP handler page is pretty much standard with taking the correct field and then update it in the database.</p>
