When call php from jquery via ajax ,have any response .I changed the dataType
and put json
instead html
.I´m thinking the issue is that,for the ajax call never trigger the php code,it seems $_POST['retriveForm']
never carries a value.
PHP:
if(isset($_POST["retriveForm"])) {
$data_json =array();
$id = $_POST['retriveForm'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE Id = $id";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($db->consulta($sql)) {
$data_json = array('item1' => $row['item1'],'item2' => $row['item2']) ;
}
$data_json['item_array'] = call_a_function_return_array();//this works
echo json_encode($data_json);
}
and jQuery :
$(document.body).on('click', '.edit', function() {
var id = $(this).data('id');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "is_the_same_page.php",
data: {
retriveForm: id
},
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
$('#myForm').find('input').eq(1).val(response.item1);
}
});
});
Code is all in the same page if that may be important.
