Pls change the app’s ID in the config.xml.

Change the link to your web server. The buttons “SEARCH AJAX”, “SEARCH STAFF” and “ADD NEW STAFF” require connection to your web server (back-end). Change the links accordingly.


*this tutorial might help you to generate Android APK file for the front-end.


 


The BACK-END


On the back-end, we are using PHP as the server-script and mySQL as the database. Inside the folder of the server-script, you will find file


SQLdump - The database sql-dump is available in jpa_dir.sql


Config file - Please change the config.php file to connect to your database.


<?php
$servername = "localhost";//change your db servername
$username = "root";//change to your db username
$password = "";//change to your password here (if any)
$dbname = "YOU_DB_NAME";//change your DB name here

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
//echo "Connected successfully";
?>


Header file – the header.php contains the header for the HTML template of the page.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JPA Directory</title>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="css/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/test-theme2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/jquery.mobile.icons.min.css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script><script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role="header" data-add-back-btn="true" data-back-btn-text="Back" data-position="fixed">
<h1>JPA Directory</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->


Footer file – the footer.php contains the header for the HTML template of the page.




<!-- footer -->
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
<h2>Copyright @2015 JPA</h2>
</div><!-- end footer -->

dy>
</html>


Search facilities


The search facilities contains two files; list-staff.php and view-staff.php .


The list-staff.php is to generate list of all record of the table sd_users and populate the data in a filterable. Selecting one of the record as in figure below will invoke another page, view-staff.php.

<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");//this to allow page to be accessed from the mobile app
include "config.php";
include "header.php";
//search facilities
?>

<div role="main" class="ui-content">

<?php

//sql statement
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sd_users";
//return the resultset
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
?>
<form class="ui=filterable">
</form>
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" data-filter-placeholder="Find staff..."
data-filter="true">

<?php
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {//records found
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$url="<a href='view-staff.php?id=".$row["id"]."'>";
echo "<li>".$url.$row["name"]."</a></li>";
}
} else {
echo "<li>No record found</li>";
}
?>
<ul>
</div> <!-- end main div -->
<?php
mysqli_close($conn);

include "footer.php";
?>

The view-staff.php will display all information of the selected staff.


<?php
include "config.php";
include "header.php";
//view complete staff info
?>
<div role="main" class="ui-content">
<h2>View staff's full info</h2>
<?php
$id=$_GET["id"];
//sql statement
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sd_users WHERE id='$id'";
//return the resultset
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
//fetch the record
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {//records found
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
?>
<img src="images/man.png">
<form id="view-staff" name="view-staff">
<label for="txtname">Staff name</lable>
<input name="txtname" id="txtname" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['name'] ?>" readonly>

<label for="txtemail">Email</lable>
<a href="mailto:&lt;?=$row['email'] ?>"
class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline ui-icon-mail ui-btn-icon-right ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-corner-all"> </a>
<input name="txtemail" id="txtemail" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['email'] ?>" readonly>

<label for="txtphone">Phone</lable>
<a href="tel:&lt;?=$row['phone'] ?>"
class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline ui-icon-phone ui-btn-icon-right ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-corner-all"> </a>
<input name="txtphone" id="txtphone" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['phone'] ?>" readonly>

</form>

<?php

} //staff id exist
else {
echo "Staff not exist";
}
?>


</div> <!-- end main div -->
<?php
mysqli_close($conn);

include "footer.php";
?>


INSERTing a new record – is accomplished in the insert-new-staff.php. In this page we’re utilizing the window.location facility in JavaScript to redirect to list-staff.php after a new record is successfully saved to database.

<?php

//insert facilities
?>
<div role="main" class="ui-content">

<form id="view-staff" name="view-staff" method="post" action="">

//sql statement
$sql = "INSERT into sd_users (name,email,phone,department) VALUES ('$name','$phone',

;
//check the sql command
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
//to confirm record saved
if(mysqli_affected_rows($conn)>0){
echo "The new staff has been recorded...";
echo "<a href='list-staff.php'

echo "window.location='list-staff.php';";
