Loop through JSON from jquery getJSON - php

Question

Here is the code:
$.getJSON( base_url + '/ajax/sortListings.php', { sort: sort }, function( data ) {
$.each(data, function(i, json) {
$( '#listings' ).append($('<div>').load( base_url + '/partialviews/listingAdminPrev.php', {
id: json.id,
name: json.name,
logo: encodeURIComponent(json.logo),
address: json.address,
city: json.city,
state: json.state,
zip: json.zip,
phone: json.phone,
email: json.email,
web_link: encodeURIComponent(json.web_link),
services: json.services,
category: json.category,
status: json.status,
created: json.created
} ));
});
});
When I manually go to the sortListings.php file and turn the $_POST variables to $_GET, it works fine. So nothing is wrong with the file. But here it is anyway:
include_once('../../app/scripts/config.php');
$listingObject = Listing::getInstance();
$results = $listingObject->get_listings($_POST['sort']);
echo json_encode($results);
That file returns this:

Which is 5 listings.. so it's pulling the data fine. However, nothing is working beyond the $.each().. I even tried alerting stuff and nothing.
No console errors are thrown either..

Answer 1

You hit on your problem. You are expecting the sort parameter in $_POST while you are calling getJSON() which executes a GET.
Make up your mind whether you want to use GET or POST and be consistent.
My guess is you also need to put better error handling in Listing::get_listings() method to provide useful errors when you are not getting the data your expect passed to it.
