I am making a comics website... it will have two sub sites: Comics and Artwork.
When someone clicks on a specific sub site, a "site" parameter will be passed in (comics or artwork) which specifies from which table (comics or artwork) images should be queried.
That all works... except I am trying to add this extra parameter to this search function which currently only accepts the input string, but doesn't know which table to search.
So, I have a search function that accepts input from an input box:
<span class="search"><input type="text" onkeyup="search(this.value)" name="input" value="" /></span>
JQuery:
function search() {
$.get("./scripts/search.php", {"_input" : $('input[name=input]').val()},
function(returned_data) {
$("#output").html(returned_data);
}
);
}
PHP search script... gets search string input
$input = (isset($_GET['_input']) ? ($_GET['_input']) : 0);
But I'd also like to pass in a "_site" parameter that specifies from which subsite on my website images should be returned from:
function search() {
$.get("./scripts/search.php", {"_input" : $('input[name=input]').val(), "_site" : $('input[name=site]'.val()},
function(returned_data) {
$("#output").html(returned_data);
}
);
}
So the PHP search script would get search string, but also know which site it's on:
$input = (isset($_GET['_input']) ? ($_GET['_input']) : 0);
$site = (isset($_GET['_site']) ? ($_GET['_site']) : null);
Is it possible to send in multiple parameters through the JQuery? Is that even the right way to do it?
------------EDIT This is how the "site" search param is affecting the search query
$site = (isset($_GET['_site']) ? ($_GET['_site']) : null);
echo "SEARCH SITE = " . $site;
if($site == "artwork") {
$id = "artid";
$title = "arttitle";
$path = "artpath";
$thumb = "artthumb";
$catid = "artcatidFK";
$table = "artwork";
$thumbpath = "./images/Artwork/ArtThumbnails/";
}
else {
$id = "imgid";
$title = "imgtitle";
$path = "imgpath";
$thumb = "imgthumb";
$catid = "imgcatidFK";
$table = "comics";
$thumbpath = "./images/Comics/ComicThumbnails/";
}
$imgpaths = $mysqli->query("SELECT $id, $title, $path, $thumb, $catid FROM $table");
mysqli_close($mysqli);
Thanks!
