OK, so I've searched HIGH and LOW for something VERY simple in PHP and get nothing that works.
I'v been here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php
and I've tried these functions in PHP:
function parse_query($var)
{
/**
* Use this function to parse out the query array element from
* the output of parse_url().
*/
$var = parse_url($var, PHP_URL_QUERY);
$var = html_entity_decode($var);
$var = explode('&', $var);
$arr = array();
foreach($var as $val)
{
$x = explode('=', $val);
$arr[$x[0]] = $x[1];
}
unset($val, $x, $var);
print "Name: " . $arr[0] . "\n";
print "Email: " . $arr[1] . "\n";
return $arr;
}
and as you see, the INCOMING URL has only got two PARAMS: firstname and email like so:
if (isset($_POST['dataObj'])) {
$json = $_POST['dataObj'];
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
$strJSON = proper_parse_str($json);
$strJSON1 = parse_query($json);
echo "Here's the JSON OBJ: " . $strJSON;
echo "Here's the JSON OBJ with a simple parser: " . $strJSON1;
} else {
echo json_encode(
array("data" => $errors,
"success" => false,
"errMsg" => "Oh, Snap! The Data coming in died!",
"errNbr" => "500"));
exit();
}
Then I tried this function (NOTED ABOVE that populates $strJSON.
function proper_parse_str($str) {
print $str . "\n\n";
# result array
$arr = array();
# split on outer delimiter
$pairs = explode('&', $str);
# loop through each pair
foreach ($pairs as $i) {
# split into name and value
list($firstname, $value) = explode('=', $i, 2);
list($email, $value) = explode('=', $i, 2);
# if name already exists
if (isset($arr[$firstname]) and isset($arr[$email])) {
# stick multiple values into an array
if (is_array($arr[$firstname]) and is_array($arr[$email])) {
$arr[$firstname][] = $value;
$arr[$email][] = $value;
} else {
$arr[$firstname] = array($arr[$firstname], $value);
$arr[$email] = array($arr[$email], $value);
}
}
# otherwise, simply stick it in a scalar
else {
$arr[$firstname] = $value;
$arr[$email] = $value;
}
}
# return result array
return $arr;
}
And again I get just the message with the "TEXT" in quotes.... this stuff is right from PHP.net.
Here's my querystring coming from AJAX like this:
var formData = {
"firstname": $('input[name=firstname]').val(),
"email": $('input[name=email]').val()
};
formData = $(this).serialize() + "&" + $.param(formData);
var headers = {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'OPTIONS'],
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type',
//'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
}
$.ajax({
url: "webServices/saveCommInfo.php",
type: "POST",
crossDomain: true,
headers: headers,
//async: false,
//jsonpCallback: 'jsonpCallback',
//dataType: 'json',
//cache: false,
//encode: true.
data: {"dataObj": formData}
}).success(function (data) {
console.log("This is coming back from the server: ", data);
// ALL GOOD! just show the success message!
$('form').append('<div id="success" class="alert alert-success">' + data.status + '</div>');
// Success message
$('#success').html("<div class='alert alert-success'>");
$('#success > .alert-success').html("<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='alert' aria-hidden='true'>×").append("</button>");
$('#success > .alert-success').append("<strong>You joined... Welcome!</strong>");
$('#success > .alert-success').append('</div>');
//clear all fields
$('#contactForm').trigger("reset");
console.log('AJAX SUCCESS!');
}).complete(function (data, textStatus, jqXHR){
console.log('AJAX COMPLETE');
});
It's going INTO the php file but like this:
&firstname=John&email=john%40someemail.net
All I want to do is this:
$sqlA = "INSERT INTO " . $sTable . " (fname, username, password, active, datCreated, userCreated, email, newUser)
VALUES ('" . $fname . "','" . $username . "','" . $password . "',0,'" . date("Y-m-d") . "','webformuser','$email','" . $_SESSION['sessionid'] . "',1)";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sqlA);
Where $fname and $email are the values from the querystring. Thoughts?
