I want to manipulate a JavaScript array in PHP. Is it possible to do something like this?
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "tourFinderFunctions.php",
data: "activitiesArray="+activities,
success: function() {
$("#lengthQuestion").fadeOut('slow');
}
});
Activities is a single dimensional array like:
var activities = ['Location Zero', 'Location One', 'Location Two'];
The script does not complete when I try this... How can I fix it?
<script>
function getSummary(id)
{
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'Your URL',
data: "id=" + id, // appears as $_GET['id'] @ your backend side
success: function(data) {
// data is ur summary
$('#summary').html(data);
}
});
}
</script>
And add onclick event in your lists
<a onclick="getSummary('1')">View Text</a>
<div id="#summary">This text will be replaced when the onclick event (link is clicked) is triggered.</div>
Got it!
To properly access the JavaScrtipt objects in PHP I need to JSON.stringify them when pushing on the array. Then, on PHP, json_decode them to a PHP object, and access their properties with the '->' operator.
The final solution is as follows:
<?php
include 'ChromePhp.php';
if (isset($_POST['newUsers'])) {
$newUsers = $_POST['newUsers'];
foreach ($newUsers as $user) {
# code...
$usr = json_decode($user);
ChromePhp::log("Nome: " . $usr->nome . " - Idade: " . $usr->idade);
}
} else { ?>
<html>
<body>
<script src="js/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//var newUsersObj = {};
var newUsers = [];
newUser = {};
newUser['nome'] = 'alvaro';
newUser['idade'] = '34';
newUsers.push(JSON.stringify(newUser));
newUser1 = {};
newUser1['nome'] = 'bia';
newUser1['idade'] = '7';
newUsers.push(JSON.stringify(newUser1));
newUser2 = {};
newUser2['nome'] = 'alice';
newUser2['idade'] = '2';
newUsers.push(JSON.stringify(newUser2));
$.ajax({
url: "testcookie.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
'newUsers[]': newUsers
},
success: function () {
},
error: function () {
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
<?php } ?>
you problem that selector ('#services') takes only first input value. You should remove id and just serialize form as below.
If all you need to pass is all values from form you can use
data: $('form#my-form').serialize() // this code puts all of the inputs into passable and readable for PHP, way.
And then in $_POST['service'] will be an array of inputs values.
For example:
<form action="save.php" method="post" id="services">
<input type="text" name="service[0]" value="1st Service" />
<input type="text" name="service[1]" value="2nd Service" />
<input type="text" name="service[2]" value="3rd Service" />
<input type="text" name="service[..]" value=".. Service" />
<input type="text" name="service[N]" value="N Service" />
</form>
In your JS:
$.post($('form#services').attr('action'), $('form#services').serialize(), function(response) {});
And then in save.php you can get an array in $_POST:
var_dump($_POST['service']);
Hope that's is exactly what you need.
That's it! Now you can access it in PHP:
