I am trying an ajax call in CodeIgniter but confused how to write controller and its function name in url.
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "<?php echo base_uri(); ?>/application/controllers/controllerName/FunctionName",
});
Here I am writing the whole path but it doesn't seem right. Is this ok or is there a better way? Thanks in advance.
Actually, you should be able to call it like so:
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "/controllerName/FunctionName",
});
But this depends a little bit on your url structure and whether or not you got rid of index.php in the url structure. In that case the url would be "/index.php/controllerName/FunctionName"
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "<?php echo base_url(); ?>/controllerName/FunctionName"
});
OR
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "<?php echo site_url(); ?>/controllerName/FunctionName"
});
Write some where at the top of the page e.g in the header section the following js code.
NOTE: this code should be above your ajax method
<script type="text/javascript">
var base_url = "<?php echo base_url(); ?>";
function site_url(url){
var bu = "<?php echo base_url(); ?>";
url = (url)?url:"";
return bu + "index.php/" + url;
}
</script>
then you can write your ajax method as follow:
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : site_url("controllerName/FunctionName"),
});
Use like this
url : "<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/controllerName/FunctionName",
Errors in your code
url : "<?php echo base_uri(); ?>/application/controllers/controllerName/FunctionName",
^1 ^2 ^3
base_url not base_uri application folder will not use in URL. It is a file structer. Not belong to URL.
Its working fine,Because I have not removed index.php till yet.
$.ajax({
url:"<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/ajax/hello",
type:'post',
data:{
"name":name,
"email":email,
"phone":phone
},
success:function(data){
$("#display").html(data);
}
});
