[Drupal] My method of using ajax in Drupal

That is just my method to create the ajax module. Here I will build a module "myajax" and locate it in sites/all/modules/

 

1. Create the .info file, insert the content as below.

  
    

   
     
   
     ;
   
     $Id
   
     $
name 
   
     =
   
      My Ajax Module
description 
   
     =
   
      This is a module which is used when you can 
   
     do
   
      with ajax in the server
   
     .
   
     
core 
   
     =
   
      
   
     6
   
     .
   
     x
version 
   
     =
   
      
   
     "
   
     6.x-1.7
   
     "
  
    

 

 

2. Create the .module file, inster the code as below.

代码

   
     

    
      
    
      <?
    
      php

    
      /*
    
      *
 * @file
 * My Ajax Module
 *
 * This is a module which is used when you can do with ajax in the server.
 *
 
    
      */
    
      

    
      function
    
       myajax_menu() {
 
    
      $items
    
       
    
      =
    
       
    
      array
    
      ();

 
    
      $items
    
      [
    
      '
    
      insertsth
    
      '
    
      ] 
    
      =
    
       
    
      array
    
      (
 
    
      '
    
      page callback
    
      '
    
      =>
    
      '
    
      myajax_insertsth
    
      '
    
      ,
    
      
 
    
      '
    
      access callback
    
      '
    
      =>
    
      TRUE
    
      ,
    
      
 
    
      '
    
      type
    
      '
    
      =>
    
      MENU_CALLBACK
    
      ,
    
      
 );
 
    
      return
    
       
    
      $items
    
      ;
 
}


    
      function
    
       myajax_insertsth () {
 
    
      //
    
      In this function, you can handle with the parameters sent from the client.

 //Use $_GET
    
      

    
       
    
      var_dump
    
      (
    
      $_GET
    
      );

 
    
      //
    
      use $_POST
    
      

    
       
    
      var_dump
    
      (
    
      $_POST
    
      );

 
 
    
      //
    
      REMEMBER that after you handing with the data, use the die() to stop to load the whole page.
    
      

    
       
    
      die
    
      ();
 
    
      //
    
      echo "Hello, world!";die();
    
      

    
      }
   
     

 

 

3. Test now!
Now you can insert a test url, such as http://www.example.com/myajax/111, then you can see the result.
Of course, you can create a form, and post the data to the url.
