I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to make anything work. I'm trying to pass the variable $thedate
from PHP file mainclass.php
to the variable datestr
in a JS function from the file footer_script.php
JS:
function getsched(str)
{
//some code
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'mainclass.php',
data: 'date=' + str + '&form=getsched',
success: function(data) {
var datestr = <?php echo json_encode($thedate); ?>;
$("#" + str).html(data);
}
}).error(function() {
alert(data);
});
}
PHP:
case "getsched":
//some code
//some query
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
//more code
$thedate = $_POST['date'];
}
//other code here
break;
When I alert datestr
, I get undefined
. How to fix this?
You can't use PHP like this. You should obtain the response from PHP and use it. In your PHP, you should output a response similar to this (just an example of JSON response):
echo json_encode(array('thedate', '2018-4-3'));
and you can obtain the value of 2018-4-3
in your JS with:
function getsched(str)
{
//some code
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'mainclass.php',
data: 'date=' + str + '&form=getsched',
success: function(data) {
var datestr = data.thedate;
$("#" + str).html(datastr);
}
}).error(function() {
alert(data);
});
}
You need to replace the line:
var datestr = <?php echo json_encode($thedate); ?>;
with
var datestr = JSON.stringify(date);
alert(datestr);
It will convert the server response to a JSON encoded string. The encoded string is then displayed in the alert. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify
Assign a global variable in HTML/PHP file before includeing JS file.
var datestr = <?php echo $thedate; ?>;
Then you can access the datestr variable from your JS file.
