Ajax - How to use a returned array in a success function
You should return the data as JSON from the server.
PHP
$arr = array();$arr[0] = "Mark Reed";$arr[1] = "34";$arr[2] = "Australia";echo json_encode($arr);exit();JS
$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/returndetails.php", data: 'id=' + userid, dataType: "json", // Set the data type so jQuery can parse it for you success: function (data) { document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = data[0]; document.getElementById("age").innerHTML = data[1]; document.getElementById("location").innerHTML = data[2]; }});
A small mistake:
Not: exit($arr);
replace with: echo json_encode($arr);
There a Problem , when you want display for example data[0] and data[1], it seems like a character from string. It Solves adding header("Content-Type: application/json"); before apply echo json_encode($arr)
