Link class not passing from ajax to php file.

[GlenRogers]

I have file that is supposed to pass the id of a link to using the ajax post method to a php file so that a div on my webpage updates. But nothing happens so i think the class is not being passesd. Can anyone see the problem.

blog.js

$('a.bloglink').click(function(e) {
    // first stop the link to go anywhere
    e.preventDefault();
    // get the class of the link
    var linkClass = $(this).attr("class");
    //get the text of the link by converting the clicked object to string
    var linkText = new String(this);
    // the value after the last / is the category ID
    var categoryValue = linkText.substring(linkText.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
    // put the post parameters into 'params' to pass through the AJAX post request
    var params = {};
    params[linkClass] = categoryValue;  
    // send the category ID to the showproducts.php script using jquery ajax post method
    // send along a category ID
    // on success insert the returned text into the chosen div
    $.post('../inc/blogchoice.php', params, function(data) {
        //display returned data and page links in chosen div (.blog)
        $('.blog').html(data);
    });
});

blogchoicephp

 include 'connect.php';
   if(isset($_POST['bloglink'])){
      // cast the category to integer (just a little bit of basic security)
      $id = (int) $_POST['bloglink'];
      $q = "SELECT * FROM blogs WHERE id=$id";
      $result = $link->query($q);
      // this will be the string that you will return into the product-data div
      $returnHtml = '';
      // construct the html to return
         while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
            $returnHtml .= $row['content'];
         }
    }
   // display the html
   echo $returnHtml;

Thanks for looking..........

I get this error in chromes inspector
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Anyone shed light?

Are you sure this is the correct path?

$.post('../inc/blogchoice.php', .....

What happens if you replace this with the absolute URL just to test?

[GlenRogers]

Im on a local server at the minute, wamp. Does it have a URL?

[GlenRogers]

Never mind that last post. It works with the url

[JorgeM]

So if an absolute path works but not the relative, it sounds to me like the relative path you are using is not correct and that's why you see a 404 error which means not found. In other words, the relative URL you provided was not located on the web server.

[edit] - I must have been typing this at the same time you marked it as solved.
