I am pulling stock symbols from Yahoo finance in a json object and I am trying to show them as a drop-down menu while the user starts typing the name of the company or the symbol in the search box . Typeahead is not working as a drop down menu from the search box. I think I am doing everything right.This is the code I have so far. Any help is appreciated.
quote.js
quote.phpPHP Code:$(document).ready(function() {
// create autocomplete
$('#form-quote input[name=symbol]').typeahead({
// load autocomplete data from suggest.php
source: function(query, callback) {
$.ajax({
url: '../suggest.php',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
symbol: query
},
success: function(response) {
callback(response.symbols);
}
});
}
});
// load data via ajax when form is submitted
$('#form-quote').on('click', function() {
// determine symbol
var symbol = $('#form-quote input[name=symbol]').val();
// send request to quote.php
$.ajax({
url: 'quote.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {
symbol: symbol
},
success: function(response) {
$('#price').text(response);
}
});
return false;
});
});
quote_search.phpCode:<?php //configuration require("../includes/config.php"); //if form was submitted if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){ $stock = lookup(strtoupper($_POST["symbol"])); if(empty($_POST["symbol"])){ //echo "You must enter a stock symbol"; }else if($_POST["symbol"]){ $price = number_format($stock['price'], 2); echo "A share of {$stock['name']} costs $$price"; } } else{ // render portfolio render("stock_search.php", ["title" => "Get Quote"]); } ?>
suggest.phpCode:<form id = "form-quote" action="quote.php" method="post"> <fieldset> <div class="control-group"> <input name="symbol" autofocus autocomplete="off" placeholder="Symbol" type="text"/> </div> <div class="control-group"> <button type="submit" class="btn">Get Quote</button> </div> </fieldset> <div id="price"></div> <div id="suggestions"></div> </form> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/quote.js" ></script>
Code:<?php // configuration require("../includes/functions.php"); // if form was submitted if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { // load suggestion data $data = @file_get_contents("http://d.yimg.com/aq/autoc?query= {$_POST['symbol']}®ion=US&lang=en-US&callback=YAHOO.util.ScriptNodeDataSource.callbacks"); // parse yahoo data into a list of symbols $result = []; $json = json_decode(substr($data, strlen('YAHOO.util.ScriptNodeDataSource.callbacks('), -1)); foreach ($json->ResultSet->Result as $stock) $result[] = $stock; echo json_encode(['symbols' => $result]); } ?>
