laravel queries in custom file after sending ajax in laravel? - mysql

Question

I have created an ajax.php file on my server and send id to the file using ajax with jquery.
I want to run db queries in that ajax.php file to get the result.
I am unable to do this.
Can you please help me.
Jquery Code:
$('.invitebyemail').click(function(){
var email = $('#add-members-event-email').val();
var eventid = $('.eventid').val();
var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only
var url = window.location.href; // Returns full URL
var APP_URL = {!! json_encode(url('/')) !!};
alert(APP_URL);
alert(url);
$.ajax({
url: APP_URL+'/ajax.php',
type: 'POST',
data: { id: eventid },
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
},
error: function () {
alert('error');
}
});
return false;
});
Ajax File Code:
use DB;
$eventid = $_POST['id'];
echo $eventid;
$users = DB::table('users')->get();
print_r($users);
Thanks

If you're using laravel I don't belive that using .php files like that would be the correct way of doing it... it's not really following the MVC patterns.
I recomend creating a controler php artisan make:controller MyController
creating a function as this on the controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator;
use Session;
use Auth;
use Response;
use DB;
use App\User;
class MyController extends Controller{
public function getUsers(Request $request){
$users = DB::table('users')->get();
// If you need access to request parameters use this ( $request->id ) being id the parameter name
return response()->json(["users" =>$users]);
}
}
creating a route in ProjectFolder/routes/web.php like this
Route::post('/getUsersAjax',[
'uses'=>'MyController#getUsers',
'as'=>'getUsers'
]);
And in your jquery dont forget to add the _token to your data data: { id: eventid , _token : token},
(if you need this token you can in a .blade.php file, your view, make this
<script>
var token = "{{Session::token()}}";
var urlRequest = "{{route('getUsers')}}";
</script>
)
