Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Sending Json to the server
Morning Guys ...
I am having a real headache trying to send json data to the server and
have php decode it so i can do something with the data ..
.
Basically what i am trying to do is...
I have a form and i would like to send data to the server in Json form
(key/value pairs) so i can go over it in a loop with php cehcking
somehting against a database...
I did think of serialize() but i need to send information in a custom
tag thats in some input values somethin like
input type=text id=foo_12323142341234 class=formJson
dbCol=forename value=John /
input type=text id=foo_12323142344321 class=formJson
dbCol=surname value=Doe /
and have in the json
var params=new Array();
$$('.formJson').each(function(e) {
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
var d=p.toJSON();
params.push(d);
}
to end up with something like .
forename : John,
surname : Doe
toJSON() seems to not be playing nice and tells me its not a function
Can anyone think of a way to encode all the elements with the
className of 'formJson' grabbing the custom tag (dbCol) and the value
of the element into an object or an array and send it to the server
(running php 5.2) so i can process it on the server end ..
I've been scratching my head over it all morning and cant find a
solution !!

Alex

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Sending Json to the server
here's what i will do to send the json to server
---
new Ajax.Request(url, {
postBody: Object.toJSON(params),
contentType: text/javascript,
onSuccess: function(xhr) {
},
onFailure: function(xhr) {
},
onComplete: function(xhr) {
}
});
---
another thing, you can lose those redundant $(e) in the array iterator.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Sending Json to the server
I suppose what i need is a push into my json object method ... though i
cant seem to find a working one in prototypejs ..
merge(); and update(); both seem to want to be used with $H() but it updates
with my var ...
Something like {l : doe}
when it should be {surname : doe};
plus it doesnt merge each of them !! it only merges the last one !!

Alex,
Why send it to the server in JSON format as opposed to standard POST
encoding? If all you want is key/value pairs, just sending POST data
seems much more straight-forward.
Separately, on the code:
$$('.formJson').each(function(e) {
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
var d=p.toJSON();
params.push(d);}
$$ returns extended elements[1], so no need to extend them again (much
less repeatedly). Also, when creating 'p', you're not putting any
kind of delimiter between the dbCol property and the value, so you'll
get a string like surnameDoe. Also, you're expecting to be able to
access an attribute of an element ('dbCol') as thought it were a
property of the Element object; you can't. You can get it via
Prototype's readAttribute method[2], though.

Alex, you've said that several times now. If you post code that's not
code, please say it's not code to avoid wasting people's time.
Looking at:
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
...it's not at all clear that's not meant to be code. Not *good*
code, but I've seen worse. ;-)

toJSON() seems to not be playing nice and tells me its not a function
Can anyone think of a way to encode all the elements with the
className of 'formJson' grabbing the custom tag (dbCol) and the value
of the element into an object or an array and send it to the server
(running php 5.2) so i can process it on the server end ..
I've been scratching my head over it all morning and cant find a
solution !!
Regards
Alex

Alex, you've said that several times now. If you post code that's not
code, please say it's not code to avoid wasting people's time.
Looking at:
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
...it's not at all clear that's not meant to be code. Not *good*
code, but I've seen worse. ;-)
Thanks,

Alex,
Why send it to the server in JSON format as opposed to standard POST
encoding? If all you want is key/value pairs, just sending POST data
seems much more straight-forward.
Separately, on the code:
$$('.formJson').each(function(e) {
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
var d=p.toJSON();
params.push(d);}
$$ returns extended elements[1], so no need to extend them again (much
less repeatedly). Also, when creating 'p', you're not putting any
kind of delimiter between the dbCol property and the value, so you'll
get a string like surnameDoe. Also, you're expecting to be able to
access an attribute of an element ('dbCol') as thought it were a
property of the Element object; you can't. You can get it via
Prototype's readAttribute method[2], though.

Morning Guys ...
I am having a real headache trying to send json data to the server and
have php decode it so i can do something with the data ..
.
Basically what i am trying to do is...
I have a form and i would like to send data to the server in Json form
(key/value pairs) so i can go over it in a loop with php cehcking
somehting against a database...
I did think of serialize() but i need to send information in a custom
tag thats in some input values somethin like
input type=text id=foo_12323142341234 class=formJson
dbCol=forename value=John /
input type=text id=foo_12323142344321 class=formJson
dbCol=surname value=Doe /
and have in the json
var params=new Array();
$$('.formJson').each(function(e) {
var p=$(e).dbCol + $(e).value;
var d=p.toJSON();
params.push(d);}
to end up with something like .
forename : John,
surname : Doe
