working with JSON data array from Ajax response?

Question

Is it possible to work with a response from AJAX request in PHP? I am not really a JS dev so i am polling my hair out with this one.

I have sort of hacked this toget

Answer 1

You need to use json_encode() in your php file to send the data back as an array

For example;

$myarray = array("data1"=>"value1","data2"=>"value2");

echo json_encode($myarray);

You can then access the data separately in the js file like this;

 success: function(html) { 
    alert(html.data1);
    alert(html.data2);
  },

You also need to change the dataType to 'json'
