multiple return values from PHP with jQuery AJAX

Question

I\'m using this jQuery code:

$.ajax
({
    type: \"POST\",
    url: \"customerfilter.php\",
    data: dataString,
    cache: false,
    success: function(htm         


        

Answer 1

Make your response return JSON, you'll need to change your jQuery to this, so the expected dataType is json:

$.ajax
({
    type: "POST",
    url: "customerfilter.php",
    dataType: 'json',
    cache: false,
    success: function(data)
    {
        $(".custName").html(data.message1);
        $(".custName2").html(data.message2);
    }
});

Then you need to encode your response as a JSON Array:

  "Hi", 
      "message2" => "Something else")
 ) ?>
