File: app/ajax/ajax_populate_home_page_root_list.php

Purpose

The PHP code snippet you provided is responsible for generating a list of roots displayed on the home page of a website. The list is populated via an AJAX call to improve page load speed and prevent flickering.

Functionality

  • Queries the database for a list of roots ordered alphabetically by their Arabic names.
  • Displays the roots in a scrollable table with each root consisting of:
    • Arabic name with transliteration in parentheses.
    • Meaning of the root.
  • Organizes roots by the first letter of their Arabic name using header rows.
  • Provides a click event handler for each root, which triggers a JavaScript function called AddText() with the root's Arabic or transliterated name as an argument.

Key Features

  • AJAX-powered data retrieval for improved performance.
  • Scrollable table for displaying multiple roots.
  • Header rows for grouping roots by their first letter.
  • Click events to add roots to the user's current search.

Possible Improvements

  • Consider adding a search functionality to filter roots.
  • Improve the tooltip content for each root.
  • Optimize the table layout for readability and responsiveness.

Usage

This code snippet can be included in a PHP file that is accessible on the home page of the website. It will generate the root list and handle user interactions.

Additional Notes

  • The library/config.php and library/functions.php files are required for database connection and query execution.
  • The ROOT-LIST table should exist in the database with columns for Arabic name, English transliteration, and meaning.
  • The AddText() function should be defined elsewhere in the JavaScript code.
