AJAX database issue

[sarris]

Hi there...I was checking the example explained at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_database.aspI was just wondering if there is a way to make the php script return an array of values, to the calling javascript function so that the javascript function can make further processing with that data...Thanks

You can't return an array object, you would need to return it as a string and use Javascript to split up the string into an array. So in PHP you would use implode to join an array into a string, like this:

$array_str = implode("**||**", $array);

That will convert the array into a string with "**||**" separating each array element. Then you get the string in Javascript and use split to change it back to an array:

var str = new String(return_data);var arr = str.split("**||**");
