I want to send the data via ajax to other page. I have isolated the problem. This is the code.
Thank you all for your help..But no effect..
updated code
It worked...
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".edit").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); //<--- to prevent the default behaviour
var box = 1233;
var size=123;
var itemname=123;
var potency=123;
var quantity=12333;
var dataString ={
'box' :box,
'size':size ,
'itemname':itemname,
'potency':potency,
'quantity':quantity
};
$.ajax({
url: "dd.php",
type: "post",
data: dataString,
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
},
error: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
});
</script>
So I click the link,it navigates, to dd.php which has
<?php
echo json_encode(array('itemcode'=>$_POST['itemname']));
echo $_POST['itemname'];
?>
I get Object Object as alert. What am doing wrong? Pls throw some light here..thanks you..
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".edit").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var data = {"box":1233,
"size":565,
"itemname":565,
"potency":876,
"quantity":234};
$.ajax({
url: "dd.php",
type: "post",
data: data,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
if(console){
console.log(data);
}
},
error: function(data) {
if(console){
console.log(data);
}
}
});
});
});
few things to consider... you can post data as object..which is clean and easier to use
$(".edit").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); //<--- to prevent the default behaviour
var box = 1233;
....
var dataString ={'box':box,'size':size,'itemname':itemname,'potency':potency,'quantity':quantity};
$.ajax({
url: "dd.php",
type: "post",
data: dataString,
dataType: "json", //<--- here this means the response is expected as JSON from the server
success: function(data) {
alert(data.itemcode); //<--here alert itemcode
},
error: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
so you need to send the response as json in PHP
<?php
echo json_encode(array('itemcode'=>$_POST['itemname']))
?>
Here you are using querystring as sent in GET request.
If you want to send the data in same form, you can use this with GET request type:
$.ajax({
url: "dd.php"+dataString,
type: "get",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
alert(data.itemcode);
},
error: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
Or for POST request,you will have to put data in json object form, So you can use :
var dataString ={
'box' :box,
'size':size ,
'itemname':itemname,
'potency':potency,
'quantity':quantity
};
$.ajax({
url: "dd.php",
type: "post",
data: dataString,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
alert(data.itemcode);
},
error: function(data) {
alert(data);
}
});
});
And put echo in your php code :
<?php
echo json_encode(array('itemcode'=>$_POST['itemname']))
?>
Javascript alert shows [Object object] for object. You can see response using console.log
or can use that key with alert.
