I'm storing an array and sending this via ajax...
var heart = [31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,42,43];
// Sending this data via ajax to php file/
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data:{ 'system': heart },
url: "login-function.php",
success: function(msg){
alert('yes');
}
});
I believe its sending correctly because i'm getting a alert saying yes. This is my php file:
$system = $_POST['system'];
echo $system;
Am I storing this into a variable right ? How can i echo this value onto the page?
You have 2 issues. A: you are not using the ajax return value, in your code msg - this contains the output from php, so to display it, add it to the page somehow:
html:
<div id="result"></div>
js:
var heart = [31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,42,43];
// Sending this data via ajax to php file/
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data:{ 'system': heart },
url: "login-function.php",
success: function(msg){
$('#result').html(msg);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
console.log(errorThrown);
}
});
B: You cant just echo an array, its not a string. to display ist contents you can use a number of php functions, for example var_dump():
$system = $_POST['system'];
var_dump($system);
alert() call in my code, so im not sure where you are going wrong. If you have an error in your php, the server may send a non 200 status code, in which case the success function will not get called. Ill amend my answer to cover thatyou can use print_r( $system ); or use a foreach statement:
foreach ( $system as $itm ) {
echo $itm . '<br />';
}
edit: echoing in PHP is only available for strings, intergers etc; not arrays or objects.
$system = $_POST['system'];
print_r($system);
if( isset( $_POST['system'] ) ){$system = $_POST['system'];}use check it using isset if it is available .print_r()orvar_dump()because it is array instead ofecho
