3: Get data from a database without refreshing the browser using AJAX - Learn AJAX programming

[@willmurphy7656]

Hi mmtuts, is there a way to replace the existing comments with the new comments instead of loading new comments (or in my case an image) onto the existing ones? This would help me immensely on the website I'm creating. Thanks for the tutorials!

[@Dani_Krossing]

Here is how :) In the AJAX code, add a second variable under "$commentNewCount", which has the current starting row nr from your database. So the variable will look like this, "$commentCurrentCount = 0;" because we load comment row 1 and 2 when we load the page. Then we also need to add 2 to our new variable, as we did to the $commentNewCount, and we do that the same place inside the click() function. Then afterwards you need to add the new variable in the AJAX "load()" function, together with the other data we passed to the PHP script, to make sure we can use it in load-comments.php. In the PHP script that runs after the AJAX call, change your LIMIT parameter in the SQL statement so it looks as follows. $sql = "SELECT * FROM comments LIMIT $commentCurrentCount, $commentNewCount;"; What happens in the new SQL statement, is that by adding another number to our LIMIT, we tell it not only where to end, but also which row the query should start at. Now it should work! Extra note: If you want to change the number of results that pop up when you load more comments, for example from 2 to 8, make sure you change the number both places inside your click() function when you add to your variables.

[@marcusriemschneider]

How can I refresh the comments automatic?

[@chukwubuikemchukwudi9900]

Will Murphy Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I am display 1 result at a time but its not removing the first result when I click show more comments.

[@paulszewczyk1662]

Its all in the Select * from table order by date "acceding or descending" Something like this. Just use the same Select statement each time.

You can shows all data from database by one click of a button instead of pressing it for many times, and replacing show more comment button into less comment button after showing all data. Thanks for this video man, it helps.

Not sure if I watched this before. Ajax seemed not as important or difficult as php, sql, javascript, etc. But then, I found myself not progressing with Ajax for lack of good materials. Good thing that I found you AGAIN. Thank you Daniel.

There's still a way to replace $result = mysql_query with $result= $con->query($sql); I had trouble retrieving data from phpMyadmin by working with the first part but I knew how to do with the second one already!

[@clealam9599]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. Thanks to you, I do not afraid of ajax !

[@fajaana]

Great tutorial! But I have a doubt. Your query has only the LIMIT 2, but no OFFSET value. So will it keep fetch and load all comments right from beginning up to the limit each time? I mean.. When the limit is 2 and on clicking the 'show more comments' button, it is displaying 2 new comments. so totally 4 comments. Is that fetching only the new 3rd and 4th comment? Or it again fetches 1st and 2nd comments as well?

[@bm-rf4bc]

You're correct to question this. The better way to set this up would be to pass a $_POST['offset'] variable and have a hard coded limit and also not use the .load() but rather a $.post('script.php', {offset : $('#comments .comment').length}, function(result, status) { // loop and append to #comments here })); The .comment class would be a new wrapped around the author name and the message output.

[@Dani_Krossing]

It really depends on the purpose of what you are trying to output. 🙂 If the HTML should change depending on the PHP data, then echo the HTML out as well like you did in the first example. But if the HTML should remain static, then just echo the data like in example 2. If we talk security, as long as the data doesn’t come from an outside source (since we should never trust our users), then you don’t need to worry too much about it.
