I have this PHP array storing code(the data of array is came from database query) then the array will be pass to JQuery. My problem is I'm getting Undefined value when I retrieve the data from php Array. I use $.Each loop in JQuery. My question is, how to iterate loop of php associative array using JQuery?
Here's my code so far:
CONSOLE.LOG/NETWORK IMAGE
PHP Array storing
**** loop here*****
$ListOfWorkOrderDates[$rowInnerJoin['WorkOrder']][$rowInnerJoin['DateField']] =
array('DatePosted' => $rowInnerJoin['DatePosted']);
echo json_encode($ListOfWorkOrderDates);
Jquery Loop
/// Here where I get confuse. How can I retrieve those data from php using jquery loop
$.ajax({
url:'getWorkOrders.php',
type:'POST',
data:{id:_WOID},
dataType:'json',
success:function(output){
console.log(output);
$.each(output, function(index, object){
counter++;
ListOfPercentage.push(object.DateField);
ListOfDates.push(object.DatePosted);
});
}
});
$ListOfWorkOrderDates[$rowInnerJoin['WorkOrder']][$rowInnerJoin['DateField']] =
array('DatePosted' => $rowInnerJoin['DatePosted']);
Did you check your exact json response using firebug or chrome dev tools.
I believe object.WorkOrder might return undefined, because your json does'nt seem to have a WorkOrder key?
for the js to work, your json response should be something like
[
{
"WorkOrder": "w1",
"DateField": "D1",
"DatePosted": "DP1"
},
{
"WorkOrder": "w2",
"DateField": "D3",
"DatePosted": "DP2"
}
]
a quick code i used to generate the above response
$response=array();
$response[0]=array("WorkOrder"=>"w1","DateField"=>"D1","DatePosted"=>"DP1");
echo json_encode($response);

When I have a normal array and multidimensional array in PHP and I return them like this
$data['normalArray'] = $array;
$data['multiArray'] = $multiArray;
echo json_encode($data);
How can I access them in jQuery? I tried using $.each but no results
/edit Some extra info I'm using ajax to get the objects, and the normal one works now but not sure how to do the multidimensional array
success: function (result)
$.each(result.normalArray, function (i, item) {
console.log(item.key);
});
}
You've to parse the JSON String to object using JSON.parse().
$.each() in jQuery is designed to loop through the DOM elements. You can also loop/iterate through Array of elements. But first you need to parse the JSON string returned from PHP using JSON.parse(JSON_STRING)
Try this code
$.getJSON('url',function(r){
for($i=0;$i<=r.length;$i++){
// your code with object r
}
});
I've been experiencing a lot of trouble with my issue all afternoon. Endless searches on Google and SO haven't helped me unfortunately.
The issue
I need to send an array to a PHP script using jQuery AJAX every 30 seconds. After constructing the array and sending it to the PHP file I seemingly get stuck. I can't seem to properly decode the array, it gives me null when I look at my console.
The scripts
This is what I have so far. I am running jQuery 1.11.1 and PHP version 5.3.28 by the way.
The jQuery/Ajax part
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
var interval = 30000;
// var ids = ['1','2','3'];
var ids = []; // This creates an array like this: ['1','2','3']
$(".player").each(function() {
ids.push(this.id);
});
setInterval(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "includes/fetchstatus.php",
data: {"players" : ids},
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
}, interval);
});
The PHP part (fetchstatus.php)
if (isset($_POST["players"])) {
$data = json_decode($_POST["players"], true);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);
}
What I'd like
After decoding the JSON array I'd like to foreach loop it in order to get specific information from the rows in the database belonging to a certain id. In my case the rows 1, 2 and 3.
But I don't know if the decoded array is actually ready for looping. My experience with the console is minimal and I have no idea how to check if it's okay.
All the information belonging to the rows with those id's are then bundled into a new array, json encoded and then sent back in a success callback. Elements in the DOM are then altered using the information sent in this array.
Could someone tell me what exactly I am doing wrong/missing?
Perhaps the answer is easier than I think but I can't seem to find out myself.
Best regards,
Peter
The jQuery.ajax option dataType is just for the servers answer. What type of anser are you expexting from 'fetchstatus.php'. And it's right, it's json. But what you send to this file via post method is not json.
You don't have to json_decode the $_POST data. Try outputting the POST data with var_dump($_POST).
And what happens if 'players' is not given as parameter? Then no JSON is returning. Change your 'fetchstatus.php' like this:
$returningData = array(); // or 'false'
$data = #$_POST['players']; // # supresses PHP notices if key 'players' is not defined
if (!empty($data) && is_array($data))
{
var_dump($data); // dump the whole 'players' array
foreach($data as $key => $value)
{
var_dump($value); // dump only one player id per iteration
// do something with your database
}
$returningData = $data;
}
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($returningData);
Using JSON:
You can simply use your returning JSON data in jQuery, e.g. like this:
// replace ["1", "2", "3"] with the 'data' variable
jQuery.each(["1", "2", "3"], function( index, value ) {
console.log( index + ": " + value );
});
And if you fill your $data variable on PHP side, use your player id as array key and an array with additional data as value e.g. this following structure:
$data = array(
1 => array(
// data from DB for player with ID 1
),
2 => array(
// data from DB for player with ID 2
),
...
);
// [...]
echo json_decode($data);
What I suspect is that the data posted is not in the proper JSON format. You need to use JSON.stringify() to encode an array in javascript. Here is an example of building JSON.
In JS you can use console.log('something'); to see the output in browser console window. To see posted data in php you can do echo '<pre>'; print_r($someArrayOrObjectOrAnything); die();.
print_r prints human-readable information about a variable
So in your case use echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); to see if something is actually posted or not.
I have a JSON encoded array, to which i am returning to an AJAX request.
I need to place the JSON array into a JS Array so i can cycle through each array of data to perform an action.
Q. How do i place the JSON array contents into a JS array efficiently?
The PHP/JSON Returned to the AJAX
$sql = 'SELECT *
FROM btn_color_presets
';
$result = mysqli_query($sql);
$array = array(); //
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) //
{
$array[] = $row;
$index++;
}
header("Content-type: application/json");
echo json_encode($array);
You can use JSON.parse function to do so:
var myObject = JSON.parse(response_from_php);
// loop over each item
for (var i in myObject) {
if (myObject.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
console.log(myObject[i]);
}
}
You can also use jQuery.parseJSON() if you are using jQuery, however jQuery also uses same function under the hood as priority if available.
Adding to Safraz answer:
If you're using jQuery, there's another way to do that. Simply add json as last parameter to your ajax calls. It tells jQuery that some json content will be returned, so success function get already parsed json.
Below example shows you simple way to achieve this. There's simple json property accessing (result.message), as well as each loop that iterates through whole array/object. If you will return more structurized json, containing list of object, you can access it inside each loop calling value.objectfield.
Example:
//Assuming, that your `json` looks like this:
{
message: 'Hello!',
result: 1
}
$.post(
'example.com',
{data1: 1, data2: 2},
function(response){
console.log(response.message) //prints 'hello'
console.log(response.result) //prints '1'
//iterate throught every field in json:
$(response).each(function(index, value){
console.log("key: " + index + " value: " + value);
});
},
'json'
)
I'm trying to pass an array in an ajax request, but apparently it doesn't work...
$.post("process.php", array,
function(data) {
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = JSON.parse(data);
});
My question is, how to use the data sent in the process file?
The array is built like that: [key (0/1/2...)] => ["prod_id"]. The id varies.
I read somewhere using $_POST["key"]; would work, but it doesn't.
It'd be even better if I could just get the array as is in the process file.
process.php (really basic - just to check wether it's working or not.):
<?php
print($_POST["test"]);
?>
Try to pass {data: array} instead of array. The AJAX call expects an object.
You need to build an Object of array elements. for example:
You can also try like:
{ 'key[]': [1, 2, 3] }
OR
{ key: [1,2,3] }
Read more about $.post()
In order to receive data in php you need to send key/value pairs, however you are only sending a value.
You receive in php with $_POST[key] which will return the value for that key.
JS:
$.post("process.php", {myAray: array}, function(data) {
$("#output").html(data);
});
php
$array= $_POST['myArray'];
To return this array from php as text just to test your ajax can use var_dump( $_POST) or var_dump($array);
If you intend to receive JSON in response from server, you do not need to use JSON.parse , jQuery will parse json internally. However you would need to add "json" as dataType argument to $.post
$.post("process.php", {myAray: array}, function(data) {
/* loop over json here*/
},'json');
if you want to pass an array, you have to "prepare" the key as following:
{'key[]' : ['value1', 'value2', 'value3']}
the same way you'd do it, when you want to pass an array in a form and set the name-attribute to "key[]".
Here is my PHP code, it's getting a listing of collections from mongodb
$list = $db->dbname->listCollections();
$result = array();
$i=0;
foreach ($list as $thiscollection) {
$result[$i++] = $thiscollection->getName();
}
echo json_encode( $result );
I do console.log in the callback and this is what I see.
["fruits", "dogs", "cars", "countries"]
The problem is that this is a string, not an array. I need to iterate through these values. How an I make this into a real object or get php to give me json rather than php array so I can use parseJSON on it.
Thanks.
js:
$.post('/ajax-database.php', function (data) {
console.log($.parseJSON(data));
$.each(data, function (key, value) {
console.log(value);
});
});
I see you are using jquery, if you want data to come back to you as a json object you need to do 1 of 2 things.
add header("Content-Type: application/json") to your php file, this will tell jquery to convert it to a json object instead of as text
Add a forth parameter to your $.post,
$.post('/ajax-database.php', function (data) {
console.log($.parseJSON(data));
$.each(data, function (key, value) {
console.log(value);
});
}, "json");
that will tell jquery to call your error handler if its NOT json, like if your php code fails and outputs html instead. You really should use $.ajax, i have no idea why anyone uses $.post, you can't do ANY meaningful error handling.
JSON is strings. If you want to be able to iterate over it then you need to decode it.
