the features is not working

novice1222 · January 14

issues:
1. The sorting is not properly working when I click the sort button on the second column. The first column gets sorted.
2. The search is like when I type something, it's just like moving the tables, and sometimes it disappears.
3. The pagination is not working. I am showing 1 to 10 of 10 entries (filtered from 11 total entries), but I cannot go to the next page.

but the data is showing in the tables, and I believe it has something to do with the format from the serverside or the parameters.

post.js

$(document).ready(function(){
    var postsData = $('#postsList').DataTable({
        "lengthChange": true, // enable length change
        "lengthMenu": [10, 25, 50, -1], // set length menu options
        "processing":true,
        "serverSide":true,
        "order":[],
        "searching": false, 
        "paging": true,
        "ordering":false,
        "ajax":{
            url:"manage_posts.php",
            type:"POST",
            data:{action:'postListing'},
            dataType:"json"
        },
        "columnDefs":[
            {
                "targets":[0, 6, 7],
                "orderable":false,
            },
        ],
        "pageLength": 10
    });     
    $(document).on('click', '.delete', function(){
        var postId = $(this).attr("id");        
        var action = "postDelete";
        if(confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this post?")) {
            $.ajax({
                url:"manage_posts.php",
                method:"POST",
                data:{postId:postId, action:action},
                success:function(data) {                    
                    postsData.ajax.reload();
                }

You have server-side processing enabled, so if sorting / filtering / paging isn't working, there is something wrong with your server-side code. I would suggest you start debugging it by dumping out the SQL that it is generating for each query, so you can check if it is doing what you expect.

response from a server-side script:

  "draw": 1,
  "iTotalRecords": 5,
  "iTotalDisplayRecords": 5,
  "data": [

    ],

Use recordsTotal and recordsFiltered rather than iTotalRecords and iTotalDisplayRecords. See the documentation here.

What is the response when you click on a column to sort it? Did you try dumping out the generated SQL as I suggested?

sorry i dont know how to do the dumping og the sql im just new but i try to add
echo "Generated SQL: " . $sqlQuery; but when i restart the page its show this
DataTables warning: table id=postsList - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1 and i change the recordsTotal and recordsFiltered, like you said

i just discover something.
when im a type 1 user i cant search but when im type 2 i can search fine, now i copy the $whereQuery = " WHERE p.userid = '" . $_SESSION['userid'] . "'"; of type 2 to type 1. now the i can search when im a type 1 user but to problem is i cant now see all the post, i want when im a type 1 user i can see all the post of type1 and type2. the search is not properly working when im a type 1 user but when im type 2 it work fine

the code :
``` $whereQuery = '';

    // Check if the user is an admin (user_type = 1) or not
    if ($_SESSION['user_type'] == 1) {
        // Admin can see all posts
        $whereQuery = '';
    } elseif ($_SESSION['user_type'] == 2) {
        // User type 2 can only see their own posts
        $whereQuery = " WHERE p.userid = '" . $_SESSION['userid'] . "'";
    }

i copy the type 2 $wherequary to type 1

$whereQuery = '';

    // Check if the user is an admin (user_type = 1) or not
    if ($_SESSION['user_type'] == 1) {
        // Admin can see all posts
        $whereQuery = " WHERE p.userid = '" . $_SESSION['userid'] . "'";
    } elseif ($_SESSION['user_type'] == 2) {
        // User type 2 can only see their own posts
        $whereQuery = " WHERE p.userid = '" . $_SESSION['userid'] . "'";
    }

```

Invalid JSON response

Did you look at the Ajax response, per the tech note in the link from the error message? It would contain the SQL statement that you are echoing out.

Your other option is to dump the query into a file using file_put_contents() or similar.
