Delete Records with Random Animation Effect using jQuery and Ajax.

Some days back I had posted "Delete a Record with animation fade-out effect using jQuery and Ajax". In this post I want to explain delete records with random animation(slideup and fadeout) effect using jQuery framework. Very simple code just 10 lines. Take a look at live demo.

Delete Records with Random Animation Effect using jQuery and Ajax.

Download Script     Live Demo

Database Table Code
A simple database table two columns msg_id and message.
CREATE TABLE updates(
msg_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
message TEXT);



delete_random.php
Contains PHP code displaying records from database. Take a look at class="delete_button"
<ol class="update">
<?php
include("dbconfig.php");
$sql="select * from updates order by msg_id desc";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$message=stripslashes($row["message"]);
$msg_id=$row["msg_id"]; 
?>
<li>
<?php echo $message; ?>
<a href="#" id="<?php echo $msg_id; ?>" class="delete_button">X</a>
</li>
<?php
}
?>
</ol>

jQuery code
Contains javascipt code. $(".delete_button").click(function(){}- delete_button is the class name of anchor tag (X). Using element.attr("id") calling delete button value. If id value is even number if(id(even) % 2) = If(0) false
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$(".delete_button").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var dataString = 'id='+ id ;
var parent = $(this).parent();

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "deleteajax.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,

success: function()
{
if(id % 2)
{
parent.fadeOut('slow', function() {$(this).remove();});
}
else
{
parent.slideUp('slow', function() {$(this).remove();});
}
}
});

return false;
});
});
</script>

deleteajax.php
Contains PHP code. Delete record from the database.
<?php
include("dbconfig.php");
if($_POST['id'])
{
$id=$_POST['id'];
$id = mysql_escape_String($id);
$sql = "delete from updates where msg_id='$id'";
mysql_query( $sql);
}
?>

CSS Code
*{margin:0;padding:0;}
ol.update
{
list-style:none;font-size:1.2em;
}
ol.update li

  2. on "deleteajax.php" the variable "$id" id equal to "id=2" for instance. I think it will trigger a sintax error. Am I right?

    No.........

    Eg : $id = 1 -> 1 % 2 = 1 ---> if(1) means true...

    Eg : $id = 2 -> 2 % 2 = 0 ---> if(0) means false..

    Eg : $id = 3 -> 3 % 2 = 1 ---> if(1) means true.....

  6. Hello Srinivas.

    Nice article!

    I was just trying to download this but it seems the downloaded index file and the code you have given here is pretty different.

    Neither i find delete_random.php file nor the jquery code you have given here.

    Do you think is this the same zip file or code for this article? Or can you give me the link where i can find the zip file for this module?

    Regards!

    And yeah its working.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Well it's a good script, but can i recover a deleted record ?
    In my opinion the script need an alert, to verify the action...

  15. For some reason this example does not reach the deleteajax.php file for me. I have inserted logging to debug the issue, but the logging I placed outside of the call works while the logging within the call to the deleteajax is never written.

  22. I just, mix Pagination and Delete Records together but it not working any idea how to do this

    ReplyDelete
  23. In order to use pagination and delete records, once the data has been deleted you must refresh page so it shows the LIMIT again, lets say 10.
    simple javascript will do.

    You can use below code to pass more variables

    ReplyDelete
  36. Very Nice Tutorial Man...it really helped and more importantly in a simpler and understandable way...but as a learner i needed to ask a question that :

    Can we become a developer like you by learning things from websites like yours??In short i need to ask whether one should learn development in the way i am doing write now.i.e.learning or copying after understanding the code from the internet as and when needed.??Am i going right??
