I am facing one problem because of the structure of the javascript files and PHP files I believe.
Let’s say my files names are :
-
request.js
-
process.php
3)submit.php
When my application loads for the first time, there is a Ajax call to the process.php
file and the URL is something like this
http://<path to process.php folder>process.php?widget=AdditionalFile
So basically when my application loads for the first time, all three files are loaded
I have an HTML form defined inside submit.php
file which is basically like the following with a submit button :
<form id = "myform" action="" method="post" >
First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" id="projectTitle" value="Mickey"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" id="LastName" value="Mouse"><br>
<button type = "button" onclick="submit()">Submit</button>
</form>
When a user clicks on Submit
button, the following function defined inside request.js
is called:
function submit(){
console.log("Test");
var formdata = $("#myform").serializeArray();
var request = $.ajax({
url: 'submit.php',
type:'POST',
data: myData:formdata,
success: function(msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
}
I have defined a CURL
based POST webservice call inside submit.php
file and I am sending $_POST["myData"];
as my data with my post webservice.
The problem I am facing is that when my application loads for the first time, all the three pages are loaded including submit.php
. And during this time, my curl based webservice gets called with NULL
data because there’s nothing inside $_POST["myData"];
unless user clicks on the submit button. Because of this my webservice in submit.php
page is throwing error. When I run the webservice with some hardcoded data in place of $_POST["myData"];
it runs fine after first time page gets loaded.
How do I prevent $_POST["myData"];
from getting submitted as NULL in the submit.php
page when the application loads for the first time?
Thanks in advance !
