5,607 PointsHow to post li values through serialize using ajax.
Hi, Thanks in advance. I want to post li values through serialize using ajax.
My code is: <script> $(document).ready( function() { $("#sortme").sortable({ update : function () { serial = $('#sortme').sortable('serialize'); $.ajax({ url: "sort.php", type: "post", data: serial, success: function(data){ $('#result').html(data); }, error: function(){ alert("theres an error with AJAX"); } }); } }); } ); </script>
<ul id="sortme">
<?php include_once("db.php"); // Getting menu items from DB $select = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM drag ORDER BY position ASC"); foreach($select as $row){
echo '<li id="menu_' . $row['id'] . '">' . $row['title'] . "</li>\n"; } ?>
</ul>
<!-- sort.php -->
<?php include_once("db.php"); $menu = $_POST['menu'];
for ($i = 0; $i < count($menu); $i++) {
$conn->query("UPDATE drag SET position=" . $i . " WHERE id='" . $menu[$i] . "'");
}
?>
How the term "menu" is coming to sort.php page ???
