i am trying to post data to Mysql using jquery $.post and php page. my code is not running and nothing is added to the mysql table. I am not sure if the path i am creating is wrong but any help would be appreciated.
Jquery location: f_js/tasks/TaskTest.js
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#AddTask").click(function(){
var acct = $('#acct').val();
var quicktask = $('#quicktask').val();
var
user = $('#user').val();
$.post('addTask.php',{acct:acct,quicktask:quicktask,user:user}, function(data){
$('#result').fadeIn('slow').html(data);
});
});
});
</script>
addTask.php (runs the jqeury code)
<?php
include 'dbconnect.php';
include 'sessions.php';
$acct = $_POST['acct'];
$task = $_POST['quicktask'];
$taskstatus = 'Active';
//get task Creator
$user = $_POST['
user'];
//query task creator from users table
$allusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$user'");
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($allusers)) {
//get first and last name for task creator
$taskOwner = $rows['user_firstname'];
$taskOwnerLast = $rows['user_lastname'];
$taskOwnerFull = $taskOwner." ".$taskOwnerLast;
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tasks (taskresource, tasktitle, taskdetail, taskstatus, taskowner, taskOwnerFullName)
VALUES ('$acct', '$task', '$task', '$taskstatus', '$user', '$taskOwnerFull' )");
echo "inserted";
}
?>
