When i inspect the response from my AJAX request to index.php, I get back some data that i want (some json, a return value i need the value of) but also a load of HTML as the index.php class is used to call a view which is responsible for loading up some HTML.
Here is the first two lines of the response:
{"returnVal":"registered"}<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
Due to my code being MVC, i cannot just create a separate file to handle the AJAX request, so i need a way for my login.js class (where the AJAX request is generated) to go through the whole response and find the value of "returnVal" that I need. Do you know of a way I can do this?
Login.js
var loginData, urlPath;
// Allow users to log in or register
function Login() {
if(!document.getElementById("usernameField")) { // If we have no username field on this page, we are just logging in
loginData = "email=" + $("#emailField").val() + "&password=" + $("#passwordField").val() + "&action=" + "loggingIn";
urlPath = "index.php";
} else { // we are registering
loginData = "username=" + $("#usernameField").val() + "&email=" + $("#emailField").val() + "&password=" + $("#passwordField").val() + "&action=" + "register";
urlPath = "../index.php";
}
// Send the login/registration data to database
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: urlPath,
data: loginData,
success: function (result) {
alert(result); // i need to get the value of 'returnVal' from the response
if(result.returnVal=="registered") {
document.getElementById('notification').innerHTML = "You have been registered";
} else if (result.returnVal=="username") {
document.getElementById('notification').innerHTML = "Username already taken";
} else if (result.returnVal=="email") {
document.getElementById('notification').innerHTML = "Email already taken";
} else if (result.returnVal=="notRegistered") {
document.getElementById('notification').innerHTML = "Please enter registered email";
} else if (result.returnVal=="loginFail") {
document.getElementById('notification').innerHTML = "Please enter correct password";
} else if (result.returnVal=="loggedIn") {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
document.getElementById('loginButton').innerHTML = "Account Settings";
} else { // Something wrong, tell us
//alert(result);
}
},
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
})
})
}
index.php
<?php
ini_set("log_errors", 1);
require_once("Model/model.php");
require_once("Controller/controller.php");
require_once("View/view.php");
$model = new Model();
$view = new View();
$controller = new Controller($model, $view);
if(isset($_POST['action'])) {
if($_POST['action'] == "register") {
$controller->Register($_POST['username'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['password']);
echo json_encode($controller->GetReturned());
}
}
$view->Begin();
?>
