在Jquery AJAX中显示PHP数据

Question

I have a php page where I display few images with radio buttons. On start two images are pre selected and I merge those and show the combinations. But user can choose a different image and click on MergeImages button, which should display the combination of two images selected.

I am doing this in one php file, where I pass the selected contents via POST to the same file through AJAX.

$.ajax({
          url: 'CreateImage.php',
          type: 'POST',
          data: {imagename : newImageName},
          success: function(data) {
          },
          error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            console.log(textStatus, errorThrown);
          }
    });

I am getting a success and now I would like to display the data so that I can see the newly created images. How do I do this?

You'll want to send with the ajax call the "dataType: 'image'," so the ajax call knows what to do with the returning data -- other options that I've used are dataType:'json' or 'text' or 'html', etc. http://docs.jquery.com/Specifying_the_Data_Type_for_AJAX_Requests

actually it won't take anything but a string, so send back the image src to display. (I was thinking you wanted to return the actual image itself).
