Edit As @MilanJaric showed, you do need to operate on the click
of the submit button. In addition, however, you should prevent the default action of the click as well. End Edit
You need to echo the data json_encoded and wrapped in quotes:
<div id="content">
<input class="edit" type="submit" value="Edit" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function()
{
$( '.edit' ).click( function( e )
{
$.ajax( {
url: 'edit.php;,
type: 'post',
dataType: 'html',
data: '<?php echo json_encode( $arr ); ?>',
/* It's hard to tell based on your code, but if you wanted a var at the server named "all" use this instead of the above line:
data: {
all: '<?php echo json_encode( $arr ); ?>'
},
*/
success: function( data )
{
$( '#ad' ).html( data );
}
} );
e.preventDefault();
} );
} );
</script>
IMO, however, it gets real ugly to echo PHP inside your JS especially if you have to do a lot of it, so when the need arises, I use an IIFE to inject PHP data into the code as a JS var. This allows me to isolate all PHP echoing within the parens of the invocation of the IIFE:
<?php
$arr = array("one", "two", "three")
?>
<div id="content">
<input class="edit" type="submit" value="Edit" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
( function( arr )
{
$( function()
{
$( '.edit' ).click( function( e )
{
$.ajax( {
url: 'edit.php;,
type: 'post',
dataType: 'html',
data: arr,
/* It's hard to tell based on your code, but if you wanted a var at the server named "all" use this instead of the above line:
data: {
all: arr
},
*/
success: function( data )
{
$( '#ad' ).html( data );
}
} );
e.preventDefault();
} );
} );
}(
'<?php echo json_encode( $arr ); ?>'
) );
</script>
