Echo alert in php using jquery

Question

I'm new to the programming world, so take it easy.. I'm running some tests and i realise that when I use jQuery libraries outside of php to create a form, the echo inside the php doesn't work. I actually want an alert message but I found out that this can be done with

echo "<script>alert ('message')</script>";

but anyway echo is responsible for not seeing anything.. Is the problem the jQuery libraies (which I don't really think so..) or I'm just not knowing what I'm doing..?

What code could I use..?

Thank you in advance..!!

Answer 1

Your code should be:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("message")</script>';

Answer 2

You need to wrap it in HTML script tags:

echo '<script>alert("message");</script>';

Answer 3

Probably you execute this code directly by the response from AJAX, or something went wrong with other JS code in your page.

Answer 4

Got it..!! I realise that with jQuery libraries the page refresh too fast after i submit my form and my code runs.. the fast refreshing doesn't leave any time to the alert message to pop-up. So that's it.. When i use my page without jQuery libraries takes a longer time to refresh after i submit and the pop-up.. well pops-up
