AJAX and PHP question

[black-ops]

I am experimenting with AJAX and have a table set up with a drop down.
The table is filled from a database handled by the php upon the state of a GET.
I wish to change the GET in the url upon changing the selection from a drop down. How would I go about sending a request to the server to change the GET in the url to update the table without completely refreshing the page?

Regards,

Pretty sure that's not possible as the URL is separate from any on-page calls etc.

Why do you need to? There's probably an easier alternative.

Well it was more an idea of seeing how I could update the page table content upon changing the drop down. Either through PHP or AJAX but I thought AJAX would be the best choice.

You can use jquery to make a new ajax call on change.

No clue about PHP, but this is toughly translated from what I'd do in .Net MVC with jQuery:

1. Make a view that only contains the table (say, table.php).

2. Include it inside a <div id='myTable'> on the parent view (say, main.php).

3. Have the browser load with $('#myTable').load('table.php?...'); to reload the table client side.

Look for tutorials on jQuery & Ajax on youtube. All will become clear.

$('#mydropdown').bind('change', function(e) {
   var val = $(this).val();
   $.ajax('myselection.php', {'item' : val}, function(data) {
      var mytable = $('#mytable');
      mytable.empty();
      for (var counter = 0; counter < data.length; counter ++) {
         $('<td>'+data[counter]+'</td>').appendTo($('<tr />').appendTo(mytable));
      }
   });
});

Hows that?

EDIT : Something like that anyway
