PHP Example-AJAX Real-time Search
Example Explanation-HTML Page
When the user is in When characters are typed in the input box above, the "showResult()" function will be executed. This function is triggered by the "onkeyup" event:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function showResult(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
{
document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML="";
document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="0px";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari 浏览器执行
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// IE6, IE5 浏览器执行
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="1px solid #A5ACB2";
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","livesearch.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" size="30" onkeyup="showResult(this.value)">
<div id="livesearch"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>Source code explanation:
If the input box is empty (str.length==0), this function will Clear the contents of the livesearch placeholder and exit the function.
If the input box is not empty, then showResult() will perform the following steps:
· Create an XMLHttpRequest object
· Create a function to be executed when the server response is ready
·
# · PHP fileThe source code in "livesearch.php" searches the XML file for titles that match the search string and returns the results:
<?php
$xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("links.xml");
$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link');
// 从 URL 中获取参数 q 的值
$q=$_GET["q"];
// 如果 q 参数存在则从 xml 文件中查找数据
if (strlen($q)>0)
{
$hint="";
for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++)
{
$y=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title');
$z=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('url');
if ($y->item(0)->nodeType==1)
{
// 找到匹配搜索的链接
if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q))
{
if ($hint=="")
{
$hint="<a href='" .
$z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
"' target='_blank'>" .
$y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
}
else
{
$hint=$hint . "<br /><a href='" .
$z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue .
"' target='_blank'>" .
$y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
}
}
}
}
}
// 如果没找到则返回 "no suggestion"
if ($hint=="")
{
$response="no suggestion";
}
else
{
$response=$hint;
}
// 输出结果
echo $response;
?>If JavaScript sends any text (i.e. strlen($q ) > 0), what will happen: · Load the XML file into a new XML DOM object· using using using using using using using ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ - to find the text that matches the text passed by JavaScript· Set the correct URL and title in the "$response" variable. If more than one match is found, all matches are added to the variable. · If no match is found, set the $response variable to "no suggestion". Next Section
