Environment: PHP 5.3.5 MySQL Server 5.5.8
Created my first ever ajax call and after much determination I have got results. The results appear to be returning as a string. for when I request
alert(result[0]);
I am only returned a single character.
If I try to use a field name, I have a value of undefined returned.
Here is the javascript for my AJAX:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "models/ajaxHandler.php",
data: "handler=this&stu=21",
success: function(result){
if (result !== null)
{
alert(result + " " + result[0] +" " result['firstname']);
var obj = JSON && JSON.parse(result) || $.parseJSON(result);
alert(obj + " " + obj[0] + " " + obj['firstname']);
}
ShowDialog(false);
e.preventDefault();
},
error: function()
{
alert("ajax failure");
}
});
So once the result is captured using a PDO connection in PHP to mysql with a fetchAll(). I return the results from the php like so:
echo json_encode($results);
The alerts for the results comeback like so:
[{"firstname":" Test","0":" Test","lastname":" One","1":" One","id":"2","2":"2","st_usage_id":null,"3":null},{"firstname":" Mr","0":" Mr","lastname":" Two","1":" Two","id":"3","2":"3","st_usage_id":null,"3":null},{"firstname":" Mr","0":" Mr","lastname":" Three","1":" Three","id":"5","2":"5","st_usage_id":null,"3":null}] [ undefined
The parse of the JSON returns all results as object.
I have also tried returning the results in php using:
print_r(json_encode($results));
It displays the same string above. Lastly I used
$var_dump(results);
This returned the following:
array(3) {
[0]=>
array(8) {
["firstname"]=>
string(7) " DrTest"
[0]=>
string(7) " DrTest"
["lastname"]=>
string(4) " One"
[1]=>
string(4) " One"
["user_public_info_id"]=>
string(1) "2"
[2]=>
string(1) "2"
["st_usage_id"]=>
NULL
[3]=>
NULL
}
[1]=>
array(8) {
["firstname"]=>
string(3) " Dr"
[0]=>
string(3) " Dr"
["lastname"]=>
string(4) " Two"
[1]=>
string(4) " Two"
["user_public_info_id"]=>
string(1) "3"
[2]=>
string(1) "3"
["st_usage_id"]=>
NULL
[3]=>
NULL
}
[2]=>
array(8) {
["firstname"]=>
string(3) " Dr"
[0]=>
string(3) " Dr"
["lastname"]=>
string(6) " Three"
[1]=>
string(6) " Three"
["user_public_info_id"]=>
string(1) "5"
[2]=>
string(1) "5"
["st_usage_id"]=>
NULL
[3]=>
NULL
}
}
a undefined
I am not sure what it is I am missing, and I'm sure it is something simple. I feel like I have tried everything. Please could someone tell me where I went wrong?
