I want to send data from php to a browser using JSON. I think I understand the process - see my example code below. But someone told me this is not the right way to do it. I have been researching for three days but because my English is poor I am not confident that I have found an answer.
What I am hoping for is a sample of code that will receive the JSON and pour it into html elements such as a div, and give it style via CSS, etc.
I really just want an example of how to do this so that I can learn from it and expand it myself for my own needs, but I am unconfident that this approach is correct and do not want to write more bad code.
Thanks
Javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'server.php',
dataType:"json",
success : function (data) {
$("#orders").html(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
});
PHP
<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=Contact', 'root', '');
$statement=$db->prepare("SELECT * FROM myfeilds");
$statement->execute();
$results=$statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$json=json_encode($results);
echo $json;
?>
