Hey everyone. This one is puzzling me. I'm using PHP and Jquery. I am making an ajax request to a PHP file containing a get url. Eg. Path/to/file/?ID=369
The request goes out fine, I've watched it in fire bug.
However in the PHP file, the ID variable doesn't exist. When I do
var_dump($_GET)
I can see that there are two arrays inside the GET array. These are JSON and action.
Can anyone explain to me what's going on here and how I can receive my ID variable?
here are my codes:
<?php
$program_price_id = $_GET['id'];
$programDepatures = getProgramDepaturesGreaterThanToday($program_price_id);
echo "[{optionValue: 0, optionDisplay: 'Select a date'}";
while ($programDepartureData = mysql_fetch_array($programDepatures)) {
echo ", {optionValue: ".
$programDepartureData['id'].", optionDisplay: '".
tidyDateEnglish($programDepartureData['departure_date'])."'}";
}
echo "]";
?>
Best wishes,
Mike
i think you need to specify the ajax method you are using.It might be a $.ajax, $.get or $.getJson.
but i use $.ajax and here is a snippet
$.ajax({
url:"event/service_ajax_handler.php",
type: "GET",
data: {action:"getTime"},
dataType : "json",
success: function(data) {
$("#cmbTimeRange").html("<option value='-1'>Please select time range</option>");
$.each(data, function(){
$("#cmbTimeRange").append("<option value='"+ this.id +"'>" + this.hours +"</option>")
});
},
error: function(){
alert("error");
}
});
pay attention to the data parameter. see also getJSON
This may be obvious, but I noticed in the sample URL you have ID capitalized, but in your PHP code you have it lowercase. PHP is case sensitive, so it could be as simple as that.
