Allow me to preface this by saying that I looked at multiple SO posts on this and I am still lost.
So in my php code I am fetching data from my database and then I am trying to insert it into an array as follows:
$arrayResult = array();
foreach ($result as $item) {
array_push($arrayResult, array("type" => $item['type'],
"count" => $item['count'])
);
}
echo json_encode($arrayResult);
My problem is as follows, the only time my JS shows any data is when I just print out the data on a successful AJAX call, any attempts at manipulating it fail totally. As in, no data shown at all.
var arrayResult = null;
$.get("../php/displayGraph.php",
function (data) {
arrayResult = (data);
var result = JSON.parse(arrayResult);
$("#results").html(arrayResult);
//$("#results").html(JSON.parse(arrayResult));
}
);
The result of this is:
[{"type":"Entertainment","count":"4"},{"type":"Other","count":"31"},{"type":"Politics","count":"50"},{"type":"Sports","count":"3"},{"type":"Technology","count":"9"}]
I am honestly at a loss in terms of what I even need to do to make it work. And here I thought java was bad with json.
