I have number of checkboxes on my page and I want to get those checkbox values in my database.
$('#assign_data').on("click",function()
{
var mandate_array = [];
var i= 0;
$('.assign_mandate:checked').each(function(){
mandate_array[i++] = $(this).val();
});
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: BASE_URL+"mandate/assign_mandate.php",
data: "mandate_array="+mandate_array+"&role_id="+$('#role').val()+"&user_id="+$('#user').val(),
success: function(msg)
{
console.log(msg)
}
})
});
assign_mandate.php :
<?php
$mandate = explode(',',$_POST['mandate_array']);
// print_r($mandate); //it shows the data in array
count($mandate);exit; // it does not show the count in console
?>
When I print the array it show me the array data in console but when I try to echo the count of array it shows blank. Why ?
Thanks in advance
You have to echo the variable count value.
<?php
$mandate = explode(',',$_POST['mandate_array']);
// print_r($mandate); //it shows the data in array
echo count($mandate);exit; // it does not show the count in console
?>
Use echo
in front of the count()
Use JSON.stringify.
You would typically convert the array to a JSON string with JSON.stringify, then make an AJAX request to the server, receive the string parameter and json_decode it to get back an array in the PHP side.
$('#assign_data').on("click",function()
{
var mandate_array = [];
var i= 0;
$('.assign_mandate:checked').each(function(){
mandate_array[i++] = $(this).val();
});
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: BASE_URL+"mandate/assign_mandate.php",
data: "mandate_array="+JSON.stringify(mandate_array)+"&role_id="+$('#role').val()+"&user_id="+$('#user').val(),
success: function(msg)
{
console.log(msg)
}
})
});
mandate_array
is Array
so you wont posted array data in query string, you should use JSON.stringfy()
function to convert array/JSON object into string.
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: BASE_URL+"mandate/assign_mandate.php",
data: "mandate_array="+JSON.stringfy(mandate_array)+"&role_id="+$('#role').val()+"&user_id="+$('#user').val(),
success: function(msg)
{
console.log(msg)
}
})
In PHP code
var_dump(json_decode($_POST['mandate_array']));
