I have a file, let's say file1.php, it contains a simple ajax code, but I only want to display records from a Mysql database table.
Besides that I also have another file, let's say file2.php, which I use to fetch records from mysql. In the database there are only two columns that I want to display, namely 'Name', 'Address'.
What code should I write to make both files work?

To fetch data using Ajax + jQuery, you need to write the following code:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#display").click(function() {
$.ajax({ //create an ajax request to display.php
type: "GET",
url: "display.php",
dataType: "html", //expect html to be returned
success: function(response){
$("#responsecontainer").html(response);
//alert(response);
}
});
});
});
</script>
<body>
<h3 align="center">Manage Student Details</h3>
<table border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td> <input type="button" id="display" value="Display All Data" /> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="responsecontainer" align="center">
</div>
</body>
</html>
For mysqli connection, write this:
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
?>
To display data from the database, you can use this, to make it more interesting you can modify it with CSS.
<?php
include("connection.php");
mysqli_select_db("samples",$con);
$result=mysqli_query("select * from student",$con);
echo "<table border='1' >
<tr>
<td align=center> <b>Roll No</b></td>
<td align=center><b>Name</b></td>
<td align=center><b>Address</b></td>
<td align=center><b>Stream</b></td></td>
<td align=center><b>Status</b></td>";
while($data = mysqli_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td align=center>$data[0]</td>";
echo "<td align=center>$data[1]</td>";
echo "<td align=center>$data[2]</td>";
echo "<td align=center>$data[3]</td>";
echo "<td align=center>$data[4]</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
Just a note: Support for mysql_* functions is officially deprecated , so please update your code with PDO or MySQLi to ensure future functionality of your project.
