AJAX PHP function onchange select box

Question

I have a problem about which I am very confused. I have a select box with s dynamically generated using a mysqli query:

$result = mysqli_query($db, \"SELECT         


        

Answer 1

Your select box has no ID and you are watching the change event of $("#contacts").

Change:

echo '
Contact List';


to:

echo 'Contact List';
                                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here

You also only need one event handler, so I have removed the inline one which doesn't seem to do anything anyway.

Edit: If the select is created using ajax as well, you need event delegation:

$("body").on('change', '#contacts', function() {
   ^^^^ for example

Edit 2: Your variable is called $_REQUEST['option'] and not $_REQUEST['selectedValue']. You are also not calling your -badly named - function so you will not get any output from php except from an error like Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' ....
