I am working on a site using HTML/CSS/JS and AJAX for connecting to the server. (new to web development)
I currently have this to get data and put it in an array.
var addresses = [];
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'GetAddresses.php',
data: {"type":"check"},
success: function(response){
alert(response);
addresses.push(response) // add values from php to array
}
});
But what if php echoed an address, a name, and a city for example. How could I access those different values?
Thank you for your help.
Typically you would write PHP that outputs structured data, e.g. JSON, and then parse that on the client.
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json");
$data = [ "address" => "foo", "name" => "bar", "city" => "baz" ];
echo json_encode($data);
?>
and then on the client:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'GetAddresses.php',
data: {"type":"check"},
success: function(response){
alert(response);
console.log(response.address);
console.log(response.name);
console.log(response.city);
}
});
Unrelated to the focus of your question, pushing data into an array in the wider scope from an Ajax callback is likely to cause you problems.
