  • 0

I hava set up AJAX script that when you click the button it calls a PHP document.

The problem I have is now some of the variables of the PHP file are set to constant, and now I want them to be conditional to what gets sent when the button is clicked.

I want there to be a check box, that if clicked, will set a PHP variable to be TRUE, while if not click, is set to be FALSE.

I hope the problem is clear enough.

I will now paste the code below because it may help to clarify the problem.

Sorry I have to paste this “huge” chunk of code but I´m not sure which may be useful and which not.

Here is index.html

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","roulette.php",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="myDiv"><h2>Welcome to Trufa&rsquo;s Roulette</h2></div>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Spin the Wheel!</button>

</body>
</html>

And here is part of roulette.php

### Comprare pick to result

//The squares

$sqr_00 = -1;
$sqr_0 = 0;
$sqr_1 = 1;


//Placed bets, if true he placed bet

$bet_straight_placed = array(
 $sqr_00 => false, 
 $sqr_0 => true,
 $sqr_1 => true
);

What I would need as I told before, is to replace the FALSE in $sqr_00 => false, for a variable that is true when the checkbox is checked!

I hope the question is clear enough to be understood but PLEASE ask for any clarifications needed!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

Addressing @grossvogel reply I am posting what I understood of his answer becuse it is not working. Sorry and thank you very much!

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","roulette.php",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
var isChecked = document.myform.checkbox.checked ? 1 : 0;
xmlhttp.open("GET","roulette.php?boxchecked=" + isChecked,true);
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="myDiv"><h2>Welcome to Trufa&rsquo;s Roulette</h2></div>
<form name="myform">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox" />00<br />
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Spin the Wheel!</button>
</form>

</body>
</html>

and the php

//The squares

$sqr_00 = -1;
$sqr_0 = 0;
$sqr_1 = 1;


//Placed bets, if true he placed bet
$chb_00 = $_GET['boxchecked'];

$bet_straight_placed = array(
    $sqr_00 => (bool) $chb_00,
    $sqr_0 => true,
    $sqr_1 => true
);

//tell the user what number he piecked

echo "You chose this numbers: " . join(", ", array_keys(array_filter($bet_straight_placed))) . '<br />' . '<br />';

I´m sorry I know this must be totally basic but I cant get my head around this AJAX “thing” yet.

Thank you!!!

    in your javascript, you can do something like this

    var isChecked = document.myform.checkbox.checked ? 1 : 0;
xmlhttp.open("GET","roulette.php?boxchecked=" + isChecked,true);

    Then, in your php, you can read $_GET['boxchecked'], which will be 1 if the box was checked, 0 if it wasn’t.

    EDIT: Extending the idea to more than one field.
    To do this, you’d add as many checkboxes as you want, say they’re names are value1, value2, value3, .... Then you can do something like this:

    var value1 = document.myform.value1.checked ? 1 : 0;
var value2 = document.myform.value2.checked ? 1 : 0;
var value3 = document.myform.value3.checked ? 1 : 0;
...

    and 

    xmlhttp.open("GET","roulette.php?value1=" + value1 + "&value2=" + value2 + "&value3=" + value3 ...,true);

    In php, read $_GET['value1'], $_GET['value2'], $_GET['value3']...

    Once you get the concepts, you can write some functions to reduce the duplication, if you want.
