Question

I am having a problem with the jQuery Ajax function not sending the data to the corresponding php file, and then not running the success function. Here is my js:

function meetMember(empl_id) {

var member = {id: empl_id}

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'php/infocheck.php', 
    data: member, 
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data) {
        alert('hi');
        console.log(data);
        $('#member-info').append(data); 
    }   
});
}

And the infocheck.php code:

<?php

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

include('db-info.php');

$id = $_POST['id'];

    $q = "SELECT * FROM team WHERE empl_id = $id LIMIT 1";
    $member = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($q));
    $met = $member['ifmet'];

    if($met != 1) {
        mysql_query("UPDATE team SET ifmet = 1 WHERE empl_id = $id");
    }

    echo "<img src=\"game/images/{$member['image']}\" alt='' style='padding:2px 10px 0px 0px; float:left;' />";
    echo "<h3>{$member['name']}</h3>";
    echo "<h4><em>{$member['title']}</em><h4>";
    echo "<p>{$member['description']}</p>";

?>

When I view the php file in the browser, I get the errors:

“Notice: Undefined index: id in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Development/ETL24/php/infocheck.php on line 8

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Development/ETL24/php/infocheck.php on line 12″

The console.log and alert in the success function do not run. I do not even get the echo in the console when I view the php file. Please let me know of any ideas or questions you might have. Thank you.

Use dataType: 'html' your file return HTML

When your open the file on browser(GET) yes you get a Error because it need to pass the id by POST.

if you want to debug it change to type: GET and on the url append ?id=1
