PHP variable not echoing on page via ajax jquery

Question

I am having a problem with my code as my php variable is not being echoed on page when using ajax jquery. Here is my code...

Answer 1

please take a datatype as json in ajax call and in loads.php function add two line as below..

if(isset($_POST['user'])) {
     $data['user'] =  $_POST['user'];
}
echo json_encode($data);

also change in success function.

success:function(response) {
                jQuery("#load_msgs").append(response.user);

}

Answer 2

A bit more simplified would be:

$.post(URL, { data: somefield }, function(result) {
    result = JSON.parse(result);
    If(result && result.status === 'true'){

    }
)};

Depends a bit on the return at server side.

You missed response in success function. Try this:

<script>
    function refresh_div() {
     $('.loader').show();
     var username = "<?php echo $user; ?>";
     jQuery.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "load.php",
            data:{user : username},
            success:function(response) {
                $("#load_msgs").append(response+'<br>');

            },
            complete: function(){
        $('.loader').hide();
      }
        });
    }

    t = setInterval(refresh_div,1000);
</script>

Answer 4

Where the response variable you get? Should be :

success : function( response ) {
   jQuery("#load_msgs").append(response+'<br>');

},
