Question

I’m trying to:

1. take a ‘note’ and its id which is stored in a mysql db (where it matches a username)
2. use PHP and store it in an array
3. use JSON to make it manageable for the client side processing.
4. take each individual note instance with associated note id info.
5. display each note in a separate html div for CSS styling
6. do it in a way which lets each note in its div be deleted by the user (from the db)

The sql is successful and I can retrieve the notes and display them in the form:

“This is note one”
“This is note two”

but obviously this doesn’t allow for steps 4, 5 and 6 (which is where I’m having problems – how do I take all of this and turn it into something useful for creating a new div for each ‘note’)

$sql = "SELECT note FROM notes WHERE username = '$uname'";
//below is for the next step where I want to also retrieve the note's id
//$sql = "SELECT * FROM notes WHERE username = '$uname'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn);
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    $notes[$i] = $row['note'];
    echo json_encode($notes[$i]);

    $i += 1;
}

I’ve looked into parse, jquery and even arrays after arrays but I’m totally lost now, so help towards this would be massively appreciated.

Answer 1

This is the jquery for creating a new div:

jQuery create new div with ID?

This is seems like a good solution for client side information retrieval from my php array:

If I can work out the other steps I’ll post links for later visitors.
