multiple return values from PHP with jQuery AJAX

Sometimes we need our server to return more than 1 value to our Jquery. And those 2 values need to be presented in the page.

We can do this usgin jquery. There are 2 methods.

.getJSON()

Example:

<?php echo json_encode(array("a" => "valueA", "b" => "valueB")); ?> 

In Javascript:

$.getJSON("myscript.php", function(data) {
   alert("Value for 'a': " + data.a + "\nValue for 'b': " + data.b); 
}); 

.ajax()

$.ajax ({     
type: "POST",     
url: "customerfilter.php",     
dataType: json,     
cache: false,     
success: function(data)     
{         $(".custName").html(data.message1);         
$(".custName2").html(data.message2);     
} }); 

Then you need to encode your response as a JSON Array:

 <?php echo json_encode(       array("message1" => "Hi",       "message2" => "Something else")  ) ?> 

Spliting datetime value into separate day, month, year

Jquery provides a beautiful function to do this very easily.

i.e. split()

<input type="text" id="tbDateTime" value="2010-10-18 10:06" />
<input type="text" id="tbDate" value="" />
<input type="text" id="tbTime" value="" />

<input type="button" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" />


<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#btnSubmit').click(function () {
            var dateTimeSplit = $('#tbDateTime').val().split(' ');

            var dateSplit = dateTimeSplit[0].split('-');
//year            
alert(dateSplit[2]);
//month 
alert(dateSplit[1]);
//day
alert(dateSplit[0]);
     
        });
    });
</script>

Jquery no conflict method

Since a long days, i was facing a common issue with using jQuery.

i.e. Different jquery frame works that i need to run my application smoothly was conflicting with each other.

If i implement 1, the other does not function well.

At last i came across the following technique while using jquery tabs.

<script>
var $t = jQuery.noConflict();    // assign the main jQuery object to $j
$t(function() {
$t("ul.leftsiteappslist").tabs("div.css-panes > div", {effect: 'ajax', history: true});
});
</script>

Now my conflict problem is solved.

Simple facebook type jquery search engine lightning fast

Dear Friends,

I'm Swadesh, a young software engineer who is always fascinated about facebook applications.

Once i came across facebook search bar which search for friends, communities, applications, etc.



I was always wondering how the search is so quick (The result comes instantly). After a long period of research and study, i was finally able to simulate the amazing feature.

Here is the trick that worked for me

Step-1: Include Jquery and some css into your page

<script src="js/jquery.min.js">

<link href="search_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

Step-2: We will now write javascript which will collect data available at DOM, if necessary it will search through the whole database.

The javascript search idea
on page load, “Load all data of friends from database into DOM”
 Declare an array which will hold the DOM data
Push the DOM data into the javascript array
Handle the keyup event which will subsequently search for the javascipt array object. If not found it will call the ajax function which will collect data from database.
Push the retrieved data again into the DOM and search from there

Step-3: The div tag to hold the loaded result & the place to display the result

<input type="text" id="ipi"></input>
<div id="search_result" style="display:none;">

</div>
<div id="sr">

</div>

jquery visitors flip counter like digital clock

I was visiting a website called stepout.com. I came across this members counter which seem to be cool. So here i explain it for you, how it is done.

Step-1 : We start by adding some jquery plugins and css to our page

 <!-- jQuery from Google CDN, REQUIRED -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <!-- My flip counter script, REQUIRED -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/flipcounter.min.js"></script>
    <!-- Style sheet for the counter, REQUIRED -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/counter.css" />

    <!-- jQueryUI from Google CDN, used only for the fancy demo controls, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <!-- Style sheet for the jQueryUI controls, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/themes/vader/jquery-ui.css" />
    <!-- Style sheet for the demo page, NOT REQUIRED for the counter itself -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/demo.css" />

Step-2 : Next job is to put some div tags where it will be displayed

<li>Increment:
            <span id="inc_value">123</span> <a href="#">[?]</a><div id="inc_slider"></div>
            <div>
                <p>This slider controls the counter increment by using the <b>setIncrement</b> method:</p>
                <code>myCounter.setIncrement(value);</code>
            </div>
        </li>

Step-3 : Our next job is to have some javascript customization

<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[

    // Initialize a new counter
    var myCounter = new flipCounter('counter', {value:10000, inc:123, pace:800, auto:true});

    $(function(){

        /**
         * Demo controls
         */

        var smartInc = 0;

        // Increment
        $("#inc_slider").slider({
            range: "max",
            value: 123,
            min: 1,
            max: 1000,
            slide: function( event, ui ) {
                myCounter.setIncrement(ui.value);
                $("#inc_value").text(ui.value);
            }
        });

        // Pace
        $("#pace_slider").slider({
            range: "max",
            value: 800,
            min: 100,
            max: 1000,
            step: 100,
            slide: function( event, ui ) {
                myCounter.setPace(ui.value);
                $("#pace_value").text(ui.value);
            }
        });

        // Auto-increment
        $("#auto_toggle").buttonset();
        $("input[name=auto]").change(function(){
            if ($("#auto1:checked").length == 1){
                $("#counter_step").button({disabled: true});
                $(".auto_off_controls").hide();
                $(".auto_on_controls").show();

                myCounter.setPace($("#pace_slider").slider("value"));
                myCounter.setIncrement($("#inc_slider").slider("value"));
                myCounter.setAuto(true);
            }
            else{
                $("#counter_step").button({disabled: false});
                $(".auto_off_controls").show();

        $("#smart").click(function(){
            var steps = [12345, 17, 4, 533];

            if (smartInc < 4) runTest();

            function runTest(){

How to track online status of a user in my website like facebook

I came across this when i was developing 1 of my social website aFriend.in.

I found out a very simple solution using jQuery or Javascript

setInterval("update()", 10000); // Update every 10 seconds 
function update() 
{ 
$.post("update.php"); // Sends request to update.php 
} 

Your update.php file would have a bit of code like this:

session_start(); 
if ($_SESSION["userid"]) 
updateUserStatus($_SESSION["userid"]); 

This all assumes that you store your userid as a session-variable when users login to your website. The updateUserStatus() function is just a simple query, like the following:

UPDATE users SET lastActiveTime = NOW() WHERE userid = $userid 

So that takes care of your storage. Now to retrieve the list of users who are "online." For this, you'll want another jQuery-call, and another setInterval() call:

setInterval("getList()", 10000) // Get users-online every 10 seconds 
function getList() 
{ 
$.post("getList.php", function(list) 
{ $("listBox").html(list); }); 
} 

This function requests a bit of HTML form the server every 10 seconds. The getList.php page would look like this:

session_start(); 
if (!$_SESSION["userid"]) die; // Don't give the list to anybody not logged in 
$users = getOnlineUsers(); /* Gets all users with lastActiveTime within the last 1 minute */ 
$output = "<ul>"; 
foreach ($users as $user) 
{ 
$output .= "<li>".$user["userName"]."</li>"; 
} 
$output .= "</ul>"; 
print $output; 

That would output the following HTML:

<ul> <li>Jonathan Sampson</li> 
<li>Paolo Bergantino</li> 
<li>John Skeet</li> </ul> 

That list is included in your jQuery variable named "list." Look back up into our last jQuery block and you'll see it there.

jQuery will take this list, and place it within a div having the classname of "listBox."

<div></div> 

Google plus like drag and drop adding groups

You might have marked a cool feature in google plus, where we add people to groups simply by dragging it to the perticular frame.

Here is a explanation of the above implementation using JQuery and PHP.

Sample database contains three tables and relationship between Members and Groups.

Members
Table contains members(users) data such as member_id, member_image and etc.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `members` (
`member_id` int(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`member_name` varchar(220) NOT NULL,
`member_image` text NOT NULL,
`dated` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`member_id`)
);

Groups
Contains groups information.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `groups` (
`group_id` int(9)  AUTO_INCREMENT,
`group_name` varchar(220),
`sort` int(9),
`date` timestamp  DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`group_id`),
KEY `sort` (`sort`)
);

User_group
Members and Groups table relationship table contains user_id(same as memeber_id), group_id, member_id() and sort(ordering)

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `user_group` (
`id` int(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` int(9) NOT NULL,
`group_id` int(9) NOT NULL,
`member_id` int(9) NOT NULL,
`sort` int(9) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Pagination with Jquery, PHP , Ajax and MySQL.

Friends, In my current employment i need to develop huge database driven web application. Which normally deals with millions  of records. I use indexing and cache techniques. Along with that i use jquery to make it handy for end use.

   

Database
MySQL messages table contains two columns msg_id and message

CREATE TABLE messages
(
msg_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
message VARCHAR(150)
);

JavaScript Code
This script works like a data controller.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{function loading_show()
{
$('#loading').html("<img src='images/loading.gif'/>").fadeIn('fast');
}function loading_hide()
{
$('#loading').fadeOut();
}

function loadData(page)
{
loading_show();
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: "load_data.php",
data: "page="+page,
success: function(msg)
{
$("#container").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings)
{
loading_hide();
$("#container").html(msg);
});
}
});
}
loadData(1); // For first time page load default results
$('#container .pagination li.active').live('click',function(){
var page = $(this).attr('p');
loadData(page);
});
});

</script>

load_data.php
Contains PHP coding. Displaying data from the messages table.

<?php
if($_POST['page'])
{
$page = $_POST['page'];
$cur_page = $page;
$page -= 1;
$per_page = 15; // Per page records
$previous_btn = true;
$next_btn = true;
$first_btn = true;
$last_btn = true;
$start = $page * $per_page;
include"db.php";
$query_pag_data = "SELECT msg_id,
message from messages LIMIT $start, $per_page";
$result_pag_data = mysql_query($query_pag_data) 
or die('MySql Error' . mysql_error());
$msg = "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_pag_data))
{
$htmlmsg=htmlentities($row['message']); //HTML entries filter
$msg .= "<li><b>" . $row['msg_id'] . "</b> " . $htmlmsg . "</li>";
}
$msg = "<div class='data'><ul>" . $msg . "</ul></div>"; // Content for Data
/* -----Total count--- */
$query_pag_num = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM messages"; // Total records
$result_pag_num = mysql_query($query_pag_num);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result_pag_num);
$count = $row['count'];
$no_of_paginations = ceil($count / $per_page);

Upload and Resize an Image with PHP

I had implemented a simple PHP script to re-sizing image into different dimensions. It's very useful to your web projects to save hosting space and bandwidth to reduce the original image to compressed size.




 

PHP Code
This script resize an Image into two 60px and 25px. Take a look at $newwidth you have to modify size values.

<?php 

 define ("MAX_SIZE","400");

 $errors=0;

 if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
 {
        $image =$_FILES["file"]["name"];
 $uploadedfile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];

  if ($image)
  {
  $filename = stripslashes($_FILES['file']['name']);
        $extension = getExtension($filename);
  $extension = strtolower($extension);
 if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") 
&& ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif"))
  {
echo ' Unknown Image extension ';
$errors=1;
  }
 else
{
   $size=filesize($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);

if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
 echo "You have exceeded the size limit";
 $errors=1;
}

if($extension=="jpg" || $extension=="jpeg" )
{
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg($uploadedfile);
}
else if($extension=="png")
{
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$src = imagecreatefrompng($uploadedfile);
}
else
{
$src = imagecreatefromgif($uploadedfile);
}

list($width,$height)=getimagesize($uploadedfile);

$newwidth=60;
$newheight=($height/$width)*$newwidth;
$tmp=imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);

$newwidth1=25;
$newheight1=($height/$width)*$newwidth1;
$tmp1=imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth1,$newheight1);

imagecopyresampled($tmp,$src,0,0,0,0,$newwidth,$newheight,
 $width,$height);

imagecopyresampled($tmp1,$src,0,0,0,0,$newwidth1,$newheight1, 
$width,$height);

$filename = "images/". $_FILES['file']['name'];
$filename1 = "images/small". $_FILES['file']['name'];

imagejpeg($tmp,$filename,100);
imagejpeg($tmp1,$filename1,100);

imagedestroy($src);
imagedestroy($tmp);
imagedestroy($tmp1);
}
}
}
//If no errors registred, print the success message

 if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors)
 {
   // mysql_query("update SQL statement ");
  echo "Image Uploaded Successfully!";

 }
 ?>

Extention PHP funtion
Finds file extensions.

function getExtension($str) {

         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; } 
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
 }

Facebook Style Footer Admin Panel

                 

The popularity of social media has been booming in the past few years and Facebook definitely has climbed high to the top of the social network rankings. Facebook has many Ajax driven features and applications that are very impressive, and one of the things I particularly like is the footer admin panel, where it neatly organizes frequently used links and applications.

This week I would like to cover part 1 of how to recreate the Facebook footer admin panel with CSS and jQuery.

Step 1. Wireframe and Tooltip Bubbles – HTML & CSS

Lay out the wireframe of the admin panel using an unordered list for the foundation. The last two list items (Alert Panel & Chat Panel) will have sub-panels nested within them. Since these two panels will float to the right, the order in the markup will be reversed.



Notice that there is a <small> tag nested within the <a> tag, this is how we will achieve our tooltip bubble on the navigation.

HTML

<div id="footpanel">
    <ul id="mainpanel">
        <li><a href="#">Inspiration <small>
        Design Bombs</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">View Profile <small>
        View Profile</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Edit Profile <small>
        Edit Profile</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contacts <small>
        Contacts</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Messages (10) <small>
        Messages</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Play List <small>
        Play List</small></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Videos <small>
        Videos</small></a></li>
        <li id="alertpanel"><a href="#">
        Alerts</a></li>
        <li id="chatpanel"><a href="#">
        Friends (<strong>18</strong>)</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

CSS

First start by fixing the panel to the bottom of the viewport.

#footpanel {
	position: fixed;
	bottom: 0; left: 0;
	z-index: 9999;
/*--Keeps the panel on top of all other elements--*/
	background: #e3e2e2;
	border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;
	border-bottom: none;
	width: 94%;
	margin: 0 3%;
}

As you may already know, IE6 does not understand fixed positioning. I stumbled across a tutorial that fixed this problem*.

*html #footpanel { /*--IE6 Hack - Fixed Positioning to the Bottom--*/
	margin-top: -1px;
/*--Prevents IE6 from having an infinity scroll bar - due to 1px border on #footpanel--*/
	position: absolute;
	top:expression(eval(
document.compatMode &&document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat')
?documentElement.scrollTop+(
documentElement.clientHeight-this.clientHeight)
: document.body.scrollTop +(
document.body.clientHeight-this.clientHeight));
}

*Note: Due to heavy loading on the browser, an alternative solution would be to either use an position: absolute; or if the situation/client allows it use display: none; for those with IE6.

Style the unordered list which will be the foundation of this panel.

#footpanel ul {
	padding: 0; margin: 0;
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
	list-style: none;
	border-top: 1px solid #fff;
/*--Gives the bevel feel on the panel--*/
	font-size: 1.1em;
}
#footpanel ul li{
	padding: 0; margin: 0;
	float: left;
	position: relative;
}
#footpanel ul li a{
	padding: 5px;
	float: left;
	text-indent: -9999px;
/*--For text replacement - Shove text off of the page--*/
	height: 16px; width: 16px;
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #333;
	position: relative;
}
html #footpanel ul li a:hover{	background-color: #fff; }
html #footpanel ul li a.active {
/*--Active state when sub-panel is open--*/
	background-color: #fff;
	height: 17px;
	margin-top: -2px;
/*--Push it up 2px to attach the active button to sub-panel--*/
	border: 1px solid #555;
	border-top: none;
	z-index: 200;
/*--Keeps the active link on top of the sub-panel--*/
	position: relative;
}

Declare the text replacement for each link.
You can download these great icons by Pinvoke here.

#footpanel a.home{
	background: url(home.png) no-repeat 15px center;
	width: 50px;
	padding-left: 40px;
	border-right: 1px solid #bbb;
	text-indent: 0;
/*--Reset text indent since there will be a
combination of both text and image--*/
}
a.profile{ background: url(user.png)
no-repeat center center;  }
a.editprofile{ background: url(wrench_screwdriver.png)
no-repeat center center; }
a.contacts{ background: url(address_book.png)
no-repeat center center; }
a.messages{ background: url(mail.png)
no-repeat center center; }
a.playlist{ background: url(document_music_playlist.png)
no-repeat center center; }
a.videos{ background: url(film.png)
no-repeat center center; }
a.alerts{ background: url(newspaper.png)
no-repeat center center; }
#footpanel a.chat{
	background: url(balloon.png)
no-repeat 15px center;
	width: 126px;
	border-left: 1px solid #bbb;
	border-right: 1px solid #bbb;
	padding-left: 40px;
	text-indent: 0;
/*--Reset text indent since there will be
a combination of both text and image--*/
}
#footpanel li#chatpanel, #footpanel li#alertpanel {
 float: right; }
/*--Right align the chat and alert panels--*/

Style the tooltip bubble, by default the <small> tag will be hidden with a display:none;. On hover over, allow the tooltip to appear with a display:block;

#footpanel a small {
	text-align: center;
	width: 70px;
	background: url(pop_arrow.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
	padding: 5px 5px 11px;
	display: none; /*--Hide by default--*/
	color: #fff;
	font-size: 1em;
	text-indent: 0;
}
#footpanel a:hover small{
	display: block; /*--Show on hover--*/
	position: absolute;
	top: -35px;
/*--Position tooltip 35px above the list item--*/
	left: 50%;
	margin-left: -40px; /*--Center the tooltip--*/
	z-index: 9999;
}

Login with Google Plus OAuth.
