Create a web api from scratch using ajax, php, and a mysql database, enabling create, update, and retrieve operations with json data, demonstrated through html, jquery, and ajax calls.
Set up a local development stack with Apache, MySQL, and PHP to enable Ajax calls to a MySQL database via an API, using phpMyAdmin and jQuery.
learn to integrate jQuery into web pages, include the library, set up inputs, and use document ready to prepare for Ajax calls and API connections to a MySQL PHP API.
Learn to use jQuery to access DOM elements, read input values with val, and handle clicks with event listeners, setting up Ajax calls in the next lesson.
Learn to create a jQuery ajax call to fetch json data and send data without page reloads, using get or post and done and fail callbacks.
Learn to post data from an Ajax call to a PHP endpoint, switching from get to post for secure data submission, sending a data object, and receiving a JSON response.
Learn how to output PHP data as JSON for an AJAX API by building a data array, encoding it with json_encode, and returning JSON.
Learn to send multiple values via AJAX to a PHP endpoint, including name, company, cost, and id, and produce a JSON response for database-ready input.
Create a MySQL database and table with an auto-incrementing id in phpMyAdmin, add fields for x_id, cost, name, and company, then prepare to connect PHP code.
Connect to a MySQL database from PHP for an API, configure host, admin credentials, and database name, and validate the connection with a ping.
Learn how to add content to a MySQL database using an AJAX frontend and a PHP API, including post request handling, setting defaults, and executing an insert via phpMyAdmin.
Securely insert front-end data via Ajax into a MySQL database using a PHP API, employing prepared statements and bound parameters to return the insert ID in JSON.
Learn how to use ajax with a PHP API to insert and update database content, including action-based routing, existence checks, prepared statements, and returning status and data.
Practice retrieving database data through an Ajax call and output JSON by updating your PHP API, adding a get data button, and returning all fields from MySQL.
Learn how AJAX sends data to a MySQL PHP API, updates and retrieves JSON responses, and dynamically outputs server data into a web page using jQuery.
Learn to use ajax with a mysql php api to send, update, and fetch data, then render the server response into html and display key fields.
Apply numeric input validation in the PHP API using preg_match, return errors for non-numeric values, and enable CORS headers for Ajax-powered MySQL interactions.
Build a basic HTML form with a boilerplate and hidden error messages, set it to post to the validator, and prep for ajax with jQuery and the PHP API.
Learn to submit an HTML form with ajax using jQuery by serializing form data, preventing default submit, posting to a URL, handling JSON responses, and debugging with console logs.
Learn how to return JSON data from a PHP-backed Ajax request by encoding arrays with json_encode, handling validation errors, and enabling two-way front-end and back-end communication.
Learn how PHP returns a JSON-encoded response to an Ajax request by retrieving post data, validating fields, and signaling success or error messages for the front end.
finalizes ajax-based form validation for name and email via a php backend, returning a json object with errors or success; tunes error messages and dynamic displays, including duplicate-account checks.
The scope of the course stays focused to building the API interaction. It covers multiple technologies working together, and topics only in relation to the finished project.
Want to access your MySQL database using JavaScript? Let web visitors interact seamlessly with you MySQL database. Add new content, update existing content, and query the database to return results! Databases provide so much power to your web applications, why not use them more.
This unique course takes you through the steps of creating a simple web api to allow web visitors database interaction. Database is key to creating an amazing interactive dynamic experience for web users. It lets you do more!
This course will open the door for you to build our a lot of COOL STUFF! From the lessons of the course, you will be able to produce a wide range of uses for the code. Source code is included so you can practice along side the lessons, try it out for yourself and tweak it for your individual needs.
This course covers a lot of technologies and demonstrates them all working together to achieve the API objective.
JavaScript and an understanding of the Document Object Model is an important foundation before starting this course. We've designed the course to be fast paced step by step covering the essentials to build the web API. Please note that the course overviews core technology used only within the course to build the API.
What you will learn
By the end of the course you will have the knowledge on how to put it all together and create a simple API to interact with your database. Use this course as a starting point to limitless options with this fully functional and customizable code.
