I am using select2 and ajax to query my database for terms under a certain taxonomy, but when I search the search boxes just hangs on "searching" without retrieving any results.
This is my html
<select multiple="" name="regions1[]" id="regions1" class="job-manager-multiselect select2-hidden-accessible" required="" tabindex="-1" aria-hidden="true"></select>
My jquery:
<script> jQuery(function($) { $(document).ready(function() { $( "#regions1" ).select2({ ajax: { url: "/ajax/connect.php", dataType: 'json', delay: 250, data: function (params) { return { q: params.term // search term }; }, processResults: function (data) { // parse the results into the format expected by Select2. // since we are using custom formatting functions we do not need to // alter the remote JSON data return { results: data }; }, cache: true }, minimumInputLength: 2 }); }); }); </script>
and my php code to query the database, I am looking to get all the term names under the taxonomy "job_listing_region"
<?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "myusername"; $password = "mypassword"; try { $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=mydatabase", $username, $password); // set the PDO error mode to exception $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); } catch(PDOException $e) { echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage(); } // strip tags may not be the best method for your project to apply extra layer of security but fits needs for this tutorial $search = strip_tags(trim($_GET['q'])); // Do Prepared Query $query = $conn->prepare(" SELECT * FROM ( SELECT wp_terms.name FROM wp_terms JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id WHERE taxonomy = 'job_listing_region' AND count = 0 ) as T" ); // Add a wildcard search to the search variable $query->execute(array(':search'=>"%".$search."%")); // Do a quick fetchall on the results $list = $query->fetchall(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); // Make sure we have a result if(count($list) > 0){ foreach ($list as $key => $value) { $data[] = array('id' => $value['name'], 'text' => $value['name']); } } else { $data[] = array('id' => '0', 'text' => 'No Products Found'); } // return the result in json echo json_encode($data);
And as you can see, I am retrieving my data, but the search just hangs.
Thanks in advance.
