AJAX POST请求接受数字，但不接受字符串

Question

Alright, I have looked around for this problem, but I can only find references to JSON, which I am currently not using. The array value that has a number in it passes, and the DIV updates. However, when ever I try to pass in a string, nothing happens. Here is the code:

<php> 
$cont = array();
$cont[] = 'yo';
$cont[] = '2';
foreach($cont as $c){
  $statement .= '<button type=\"button\" onclick=\"nFunc('.$c.')\">'.$c.'</button>';
}
</php>
<script>

function nFunc(str)
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
}
xmlhttp.open("POST","test.php",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send("p="+str);
}
</script>
<div id="myDiv">Default</div>
{$statement}

Please note I am doing testing with AJAX via IP.Board/IP.Content, so the tags and variables in {} are parsed by the IP.C engine.

This code outputs two buttons labeled "yo" and "2". When "2" is clicked, the DIV updates correctly. When "yo" is clicked, nothing occurs.

The test.php file is very simple:

<?php
$hello = $_POST['p'];
echo $hello;
?>

Thanks for any help beforehand.

Answer 1

This output HTML from your PHP Statement is invalid:

<button type=\"button\" onclick=\"nFunc(yo)\">yo</button><button type=\"button\" onclick=\"nFunc(2)\">2</button>

Notice onclick=\\"nFunc(yo)\\">

See your string parameter is not enclosed in quotes and also those backslashes are not needed there. That is why you see that error, which of course doesn't happen in case of a number.

$statement .= '<button type=\"button\" onclick=\"nFunc('.$c.')\">'.$c.'</button>';

should be

$statement .= '<button type="button" onclick="nFunc(\''.$c.'\')">'.$c.'</button>';

It works like a charm after that fix, I just tested.
