Sending retrieved data from database as an array to php file

Question

first file:

$data = array();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
     $data[] = $row["input"]; // make sure that db table column name is `input`
}
echo json_encode($data);

second file:

function retrieveData(){
    $.post('quick.php',{}, function(data){
        var new_data = $.parseJSON(data); // decode json data and covert it to jquery array

        $.each(new_data, function(index, element) { // iterate over array
            window.alert(element); // alert each element of the array
        });
    });
}

I am trying to send the data I get from the database to another PHP file as an array but it is not working. Can anyone please help me with that?

Answer 1

you make and ajax request but i don't see the success and the error section you should try this

    $.ajax({                
                url: 'quick.php',
                type: 'POST',
                data: {},
                success: function (data)
                        {                        
                          var new_data = $.parseJSON(data); // decode json data and covert it to jquery array

            $.each(new_data, function(index, element) { // iterate over array
               window.alert(element); // alert each element of the array
            });  
                        },
                        error: function(json){

                                //Manage the error here
                            }


});
