Question

Ok I have a table that changes the displayed text once clicked on like the one displayed on http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_database.asp

I’m trying to update it based on each click.
For example.

Page Load > Load news article 1
onClick 1 > Load news article 2
onClick 2 > Load news article 3

All I want is for it to change based on each click, to a subsequent value. I have a php mysql database script that will pull the data from the database each time called.

The real question: Should I program the php to return a new table data cell with the new

oncLick="showNews($next_number)"

or should I leave that up to the AJAX, before it requests the information, just +1 it up.

I’m new to AJAX programming and not that experienced in PHP. I have searched everywhere and apologize if this is a redundant question. Just point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

write a php function to support to get the content by id. showNews(news ID). and then pass the newid with the ajax request. no need to change the newsid in the PHP.
