I tried Redis and wanted to create a simple front / back setting to test it and practice. The front end is HTML / Javascript / JQuery, and the back end is PHP / Apache / Redis. Basically, I wanted to send a request to send to the background and get a response, which I will then post on the web console. To send a query, I used jQuery:
var data = $("#login_form :input").serializeArray();
var username = data[0]['value'];
var password = data[1]['value'];
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost/Convo/user.php?jsoncallback=%3F",
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
data: { username: username, password: password, method: "create" },
success: function(text){console.log("awesome");}
});
I use Firebug in Firefox to find out what is really happening. In Firebug, I see a GET request that runs instead of POST. The jsoncallback string attached to the url may be the reason, but without it I don't get the answer at all. As a side note, I expect an answer in return. Here is my PHP code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
require 'Predis/Autoloader.php';
Predis\Autoloader::register();
$body = array();
$head = array();
$redis = new Predis\Client(array(
'scheme' => 'tcp',
'host' => '127.0.1.1',
'port' => 6379,
));
if(!$redis)
{
$body['status'] = "fail";
$body['message'] = "unable to connect to database";
$head['body'] = $body;
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($head);
exit;
}
else
{
$body['status'] = "success";
$body['message'] = "connected to database!";
$head['body'] = $body;
$jsoncallback = $_POST['jsoncallback'];
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $jsoncallback . '(' . json_encode($head) . ')';
exit;
}
jsoncallback , POST- ?
