plugin development - Jquery php request is returning a weird result

admin管理员组

文章数量:1277311

I am having a bit of a weird glitch happening to me and I am not sure how I have produced it or whether it is the norm.

I am developing my own plugin and when a football/soccer team is typed into a box it will check if its in the database already or not.

Here are my lines of code

add_action( 'admin_footer', 'fws_teamcheck_javascript' );
function fws_teamcheck_javascript() { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).on('focusout', '.name', function () {
        var name = this.value;
        //alert(name);
        jQuery.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: ajaxurl,
            data: {"action": "fws_check_name", "name": name},
            success: function (data) {
                alert(data);
                if(data=='true') {
                    $(".name").css("border", "solid 1px red");
                }
                if(data=='false') {
                    $(".name").css("border", "solid 1px green");
                }
            }
        });
    });
</script>
<?
}

function fws_check_name(){
    global $wpdb;
    $dbtable = $wpdb->prefix . 'fws_team_data';
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $data = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $dbtable WHERE name = $name"));
    if($data) { echo 'true'; }else{ echo 'false'; }
    
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_fws_check_name', 'fws_check_name' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_fws_check_name', 'fws_check_name' );

When i move away from the input it will bring up the alert as either true0 or false0 is there a reason why it is adding the 0 at the end?

Thanks for your input.

• have you considered using the modern REST API for AJAX instead of the old admin-ajax.php API? It's much easier to debug, gives human readable error messages and does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, as well as giving you a pretty URL. – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Nov 3, 2021 at 17:11
• @TomJNowell to be honest I haven't even looked at REST API, I am still trying to learn the basics from online tutorials. Do you have any recommendations on where I can learn REST API for wordpress? – AdamCarder Commented Nov 3, 2021 at 17:19

The following wasn't wrong for me:

$data = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM $dbtable WHERE name = $name" ) );

It should be:

$data = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM {$dbtable} WHERE name = %s", $name ) );

Then you can just die(); at the end of the function like:

if( count( $data ) >= 1 ){
    die( 'true' );
} else {
    die( 'false' );
}

I found out when re-reading through the AJAX page found at https://codex.wordpress/AJAX_in_Plugins that you have to put die(); at the end of the function.

My code now looks like this and works as intended.

add_action( 'admin_footer', 'fws_teamcheck_javascript' );
function fws_teamcheck_javascript() { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).on('focusout', '.name', function () {
       var name = this.value;
       jQuery.ajax({
           type: 'POST',
           url: ajaxurl,
           data: {"action": "fws_check_name", "name": name},
           success: function (data) {
               if(data=='true') {
                   $(".name").css("border", "solid 1px red");
               }
               if(data=='false') {
                   $(".name").css("border", "solid 1px green");
               }
           }
       });
    });
</script>
<?
}

function fws_check_name(){
    global $wpdb;
    $dbtable = $wpdb->prefix . 'fws_team_data';
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $sql = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $dbtable WHERE name = '$name'");
    $data = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
    if(count($data) >= '1'){ echo 'true'; }else{ echo 'false'; }
    die();
    
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_fws_check_name', 'fws_check_name' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_fws_check_name', 'fws_check_name' );
