in my js script tag I hv a var that store data of my ajax success callback. let say it's $result. How can I use it in php? I don't want to directly use for example $('#element').html($result) to manipulate the DOM.
You don't need to send the response to browser instead of that you can use the request and manipulate as you want it in server side that is in php. It is not necessary to send the response back to client.
You should manipulate/Filter the result before getting it from ajax and then use it to manipulate DOM/or for whatever purpose you like.. I guess this is the best option.... Else it'll raise the iteration time and page load time.
So just manipulate it before returning from the ajax file
and if you wish to use it in php which will load it again then why to use ajax.

I want store clickede_id value into $id2[] give me some suggestions and also suggest some advance details
function yes(clicked_id)
{
var it1=clicked_id;
alert(it1);
var tt1=1;
var tt2= "<?php echo($id2[var it1]); ?>";
//var tt2=document.getElementById("idcheck").value;
alert(tt2);
var tt3=document.getElementById("idcheck1").value;
//alert(tt3);
}
When you develop a web application, you are creating tools to let client and server communicates (over the HTTP protocol). This communication is based on Requests and Responses.
The client send request to server and the server responds with a reponse. In your case, you choosed PHP as the server-side language that will create your responses as answers to client request. Thes responses are HTML (+ javascript). Anyways, the reponses are static stuff to be interpredted by the client.
So the code you have sent is seen by the browser as:
function yes(clicked_id)
{
var it1=clicked_id;
alert(it1);
var tt1=1;
var tt2= 3; // or whatever value returned by php
var tt2=document.getElementById("idcheck").value;
var tt3=document.getElementById("idcheck1").value;
// ajax call here
}
When you say : store data from javascript to php (even if it doesnt look as a correct senetence), you mean sending data from client to server. It can be done via a classical Post request (via form submit with page refresh) or via ajax without page refresh.
For ajax, please to check jQuery documentation for $.ajax function (if you want to have a cross browser compatible solution), or XMLHTTPRequest object if you want raw javascript and do the cross-browser compatibility yourself.
PHP executes in the server and send the result to your browser to display. Your JS executes at this browser stage. What you need to understand is that PHP has already been finished it's execution when your JS gets a chance to execute. Trying to change something in PHP through the JS is trying to access the past.
But, the good news is, that you can adopt a model where you feed your JS through the PHP script (look at this echo "<script>var s = 'from php'</script>") and JS feeds your NEXT php execution. You can use ajax or direct page calling for this.
Probably you should read this question: How to pass data from Javascript to PHP and vice versa?
I have an AJAX call that is running a long PHP script where it has 20 different results, I would like to show when each step in the script is done.
Like so 1/20 done, 2/20 done, 3/20 done.
Latest 29-12-2015 03:17.
I tried to create the JSON file as so (jsonFileName_uniqueTimeStampHere.json) by PHP, but the time taken to create the file with PHP, result in a 404 file not found error!
Because when the AJAX call is running it comes to the progress call before the file has been created, I know I can't create the file with JavaScript but is there anyway to create.
The file before the success callback from jQuery AJAX?
What would be the best way to show progress information while AJAX call is running.
The way I have it now, I have a JSON file saved on the server that gets updated with the latest state that has completed, but if multiple users is running the same script the JSON file with the state gets overwritten.
Should I save the state of each progress in DB and then receive it with multiple calls to a PHP method that get state that has been completed?
Should I keep using the current method I use and add a userID to the JSON file so it is unique on each call to the file?
How should I go about doing it the same way as Seositecheckup?
What is the best way to make a progress with AJAX and PHP?
Please tell me if you need any more information.
I have looked around and don't feel like the info or half of info, there is to find online has been enough to do this myself.
I would like to use jQuery AJAX and not XMLHttpRequest, I'm looking for something similar to seositecheckup.com, when you scan a page you can see the state update on each completed function in the console and is done with different AJAX calls. How is that possible?
Should I forget about using jQuery and keep focus on plain JavaScript instead?
Right now I have a setup with jQuery that works the problem is, that I use a JSON file to get the result from and it gets overwritten when multiple users request the same script, is it possible to store the state in db instead and receive it from there with some unique identifier?
In the future I would like to make it possible to put the script into a queue that could be run and when the script ends it should send an e-mail to the user.
The HTTP way of handling requests that may take a long time is for requests to return a 202 and the body of the response should contain the URL where the user can query for the result.
#Request
POST /some/entitities
...
#Response
HTTP/1.0 202 Accepted
/jobs/{jobId}
The user can then poll /jobs/{jobId} which can return a number to represent progress. Do you have to use this? No, but if you do, others developers can immediately recognize what is going on.
Even if you don't use the approach I recommend, you will also have to keep track of job progress in your database and have a separate AJAX call to find out the current progress.
I am new to JQuery so i have to ask this question. I have to get the value of undermentioned code into a php file.

I want to get the text written by this code to the next php page. how can i do that. please help
Sending data from client to server using jQuery (Javascript) usually used to send without refreshing the whole page.
This called AJAX
There are several sending methods to do it, the most popular are: POST & GET
A few examples:
GET request with jQuery
POST request with jQuery
Sending form data using AJAX
POST vs GET in AJAX

I have a page where people can login and their login request is sent with jQuery's $.ajax to a processing page. On that page all of the errors collected during the login attempt are stored in $_SESSION['error'].
How can I access this variable to alert users of the errors after the attempt is made. I know how to access a session variale, I mean how do I access a php variable without reloading the page. The only way I currently am aware of is to inject them on page load, but there must be some way to access them with JavaScript after they have changed due to an Ajax request.
Unfortunately you cannot directly access the PHP $_SESSION[] array from JavaScript. This is by design, because one of the major points of using a Session, is that the data is saved on the server side, unmodifiable by the end user, and therefore your Javascript.
What you could do however, is include the error list in your ajax response. Chances are you are doing an ajax request that returns a 'json' type format. Just include your error list in your json returned, and use the JavaScript to display them. I recommend not sharing the entire $_SESSION array, since it could give away some key information about the interworkings of your PHP.
Also, if you are not currently doing an ajax request that expects json, back, then consider switching it up so that you are expecting and returning json. You can provide much more hidden data this way, instead of just some HTML or text.
Hope this helps
I've got a general question about AJAX. Is it okay to send JavaScript in an AJAX response and execute it? Or is the only elegant way to respond either with JSON or plain HTML?
My problem is that I am searching for the best way to handle AJAX requests which are leading to the insertion of HTML OR the execution of JavaScript, depending on user data.
Thanks a lot.
I would think that the JavaScript function that would be executed after the AJAX response would be standard for everyone aside from some variable. If that is the case, you should include the JavaScript function in your scripts file that gets loaded normally in the . Then have the AJAX response come back with the variable that you need, like the user ID. Then use that variable to call the JavaScript function normally instead of injecting a new function each time.
If HTML is returned you can insert it directly into the DOM on a successful AJAX request.
I think the way to go would be to always return JSON even if it's an HTML response. The JSON response could be something like:
{"responseType":"HTML", "varID":null, "payload":"<div>some html</div>"}
If the response were type JS then the varID could have that variable and the payload could be null. That's just an example but you could do something similar to standardize the response but handle both scenarios.
No it's ok to do so, in jQuery $.getScript do just that, it get the file via ajax and then evaluate it. Which is why no script tags are ever added when using getScript
Executing javascript received by an ajax call is a bad idea as this can lead to XSS style attacks (eval is evil and all that jazz).
An AJAX response is best served up in JSON format and then the client side scripting can act in accordance with the JSON it receives.
