How could I dynamically(through PHP) assign sortable parameters instead of manually writing for each one?

The pastebin link may help if my wording doesn't. I basically have a site that contains a bunch of custom sortables. Although the user can remove them no p开发者_如何学编程roblem - they can never add them.

Any time a sortable needs to be added to the site I have to write up a set of identical parameters and the only thing that changes is the ID number (you can see the example in my pastebin).

How could I set this up as a loop instead of some 2000 line javascript file that contains X amount of identical blocks.

You could supply an array of the IDs necessary from the database with PHP and get an AJAX routine to bring this back as a JSON array, then iterate over that.

<?php
// boxIDList.php

// Connect to the DB
include("config.php");

$resultboxone = mysql_query('SELECT id FROM `activejobs` WHERE active = 1');

$boxIDList = array();       
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultboxone))  {
  $boxIDList[] = $row['id'];
}

echo json_encode($boxIDList);

exit();
?>

The jQuery could then be as follows: (I'm not sure how you use your routines)

$.getJSON('boxIDList.php', function(boxIDs) {
   $.each(boxIDs, function(i, value) {
     boxspank(value);
     boxspanklist(value);
   });
});
