Question

I have these tag cloud list

<ul #id = "tag-cloud-list">
    <li class = "items">Music</li>
    <li class = "items">Lion</li>
    <li class = "items">Dwarf</li<
</ul>

That was generated by JQuery. The items here are tags that I will insert to the database. Now my question is it possible to get all <li> items inside the ul? and put them inside a PHP array? because each of these tags will be inserted in the database. if there’s no way I can get a li items using php then how would Insert these list items into the database? because I needed them since it is tag to a certain item or post

Answer 1

You have to make an AJAX call:

var lis = new Array();

// Iterate through the <li> items
$("#tag-cloud-list").children("li").each(function()
{
    lis.push($(this).text());
});

// Make AJAX call and set data to something like "Music::Lion::Dwarf"
$.ajax({
    url: "dostuff.php",
    type: "POST",
    data: { items: lis.join("::") },
    success: function() { alert("OK"); }
});

Then in the PHP script, use

$lis = $_POST['items'];
$liarray = explode("::", $lis);

to retrieve an array of the li items
