Passing value from 2 jQuery range slider to PHP

I want to use range slider for query in mysql/php to obtain a list. But I don't understand how to pass a variable from jQuery to a php file. I read this page and others, but still don't get the result. This is the code for jQuery that I want to pass, what should I do to pass the variable?

Solution

  • if you want to submit the value everytime it change you can try my code, but you have a bad idea if you do that.. its better you have a button to tell your server that the client is done picking the price.

    i just update you code i hope it help.

        <script>
        $(function() {
            var sliderChangeCallback = function(){
               var amount1 = $( "#amount1" ).val(), amount2 = $( "#amount2" ).val()

               $.ajax({
                   url : "your url",
                   data : {
                       "amount1" : amount1,
                       "amount2" : amount1
                   },
                   error : function(){
                       "call back error"
                   }
               })
            };

            $( "#slider-range1" ).slider({
                range: true,
                min: 0,
                max: 500,
                values: [ 75, 300 ],
                slide: function( event, ui ) {
                    $( "#amount1" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
                    sliderChangeCallback();
                }
            });
            $( "#amount1" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range1" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
                " - $" + $( "#slider-range1" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );

            $( "#slider-range2" ).slider({
                range: true,
                min: 0,
                max: 500,
                values: [ 75, 300 ],
                slide: function( event, ui ) {
                    $( "#amount2" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
                    sliderChangeCallback();
                }
            });
            $( "#amount2" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range2" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
                " - $" + $( "#slider-range2" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );

        });
