I am having trouble passing a Javascript array to a PHP array on the same page when the submit button is pressed. I have seen discussion of JSON.stringify and json_encode on other posts, but I am not sure how to use those functions with my code.
JS:
<script>
var kegs = [];
var textarea = document.getElementById("your_textarea");
$("#kegId").on('keyup', function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
kegs.push($(this).val());
$("#kegId").val("");
textarea.value = kegs.join("
");
};
});
</script>
PHP:
if (!isset($_POST['btn-addkegs'])) {
//I want to set the Javascript array 'kegs' to a php variable here
Using Ajax will do it for you! I wrote this code that sends an array to PHP on the same page. Once you get the array in PHP you can do whatever you want with it :).Just copy and paste this file and called it index.php to see the result. This will totally help you!
<?php
$data = array();
if(isset($_POST['myArray']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'])){
$data = 'You array is: ' . $_POST['myArray'];
echo json_encode($data);
die();
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "random"></div>
<script type = "text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var arr = [2,4,5,6,7];
var myArray = JSON.stringify(arr);
$.ajax({
url: "index.php",
method: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {myArray: myArray},
success: function (result) {
alert("result: " + result);
console.log(result);
$("#random").html(result);
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
This can be achieved by using ajax(), its syntax is:
$.ajax({
url: 'process.php', // file where data processing is done
type: 'POST',
data: {
var1 :val1,
var2 :val2
// parameter set
},
success: function(response){ // response from process.php
// do your stuff here
}
});
As you are using the jquery
var jsArray = makeJavascriptArrayhere //
$.ajax({
url: urlToPhpFile, // file where data processing is done
type: Method,
data:jsArray,
success: function(response){ // response from process.php
// do your stuff here
}
});
now in your php file
var_dump($_POST); //see on network liner tabs
