Re: Problem with populating Dropdown Menu with PDO

[Frank Olschewski]

Hey,

I tried to create the dropdown (for now without connection to the db) with help from the code-snippets from some videos and other input, but I just don't get why it isn't working (please keep in mind that I'm really not too experienced).

This is the code I use on the request.php page where the dropdown and the dynamic content should be displayed:

<form name="request" action="request.php" method="post">
<p>How many subjects are requested? <br />
<select name="nrsubjects" id="user-select">
<option value="1">1 subject</option>
<option value="2">2 subjects</option>
</select>
</p>
</form>

<div id="user-profile"></div>

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>;
<script src="js/global.js"></script>

And here the partials/user.php with the input that should be shown on the request.php:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['nrsubjects'])){
echo "TEST TEST ". $_GET['nrsubjects'];
}
?>

And the global.js file with the ajax:

$('#user-select').on('change', function() {
    var self = $(this);

    $.ajax({
        url: 'https://www.xxx.de/partials/user.php';,
        type: 'GET',
        data: { user: self.val() },
        success: function(data){
          $('#user-profile').html(data);
        }
    });
});
