Convert a Ajax Json String to a JS Object for my Ajax Get Script

I ideally want the Ajax result to be converted from Jsonstring to OBJ Thank You in advance.
I know the AJAX GET script is working becuase when I alert the Ajax Post result I see the Contents in json string format as below.
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
[{"id":"1","username":"jiten","name":"Jitensingh\t","email":"jiten93mail”},{“id":"2","username":"kuldeep","name":"Kuldeep","email":"kuldeemail”}]
I want the AJAX GET result data converted to look like this in OBJ format like below.
{id:31,name:"Mary",username:"R8344",email:"wemail}];
PHP/SQL CODE with the Json encoded Array
<?php
include "../mytest/config.php";
$return_arr = array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY NAME";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
//Check database connection first
if ($conn->query($sql) === FALSE) {
echo 'database connection failed';
die();
} else {
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
$id = $row['id'];
$username = $row['username'];
$name = $row['name'];
$email = $row['email'];
$return_arr[] = array(
"id" => $id,
"username" => $username,
"name" => $name,
"email" => $email);
}
// Encoding array in JSON format
echo json_encode($return_arr);
}
?>
php echo _encode array above returns below Json string format
[{"id":"1","username":"jiten","name":"Jitensingh\t","email":"jiten93mail”},{“id":"2","username":"kuldeep","name":"Kuldeep","email":"kuldeemail”}]
I am looking for something like below.( top half of the script)
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
url: 'ajaxfile.php',
type: 'get',
dataType: 'JSON',
success: function(result){
var data =(JSONstring convert to OBJ(result);
//-----The top half of script -------------
$.each(data, function( i, person ) {
if(i == 0) {
$('.card').find('.person_id').text(person.id);
$('.card').find('.person_name').text(person.name);
$('.card').find('.person_username').text(person.username);
$('.card').find('.person_email').text(person.email);
} else {
var personDetailCloned = $('.card').first().clone();
personDetailCloned.find('.person_id').text(person.id);
personDetailCloned.find('.person_name').text(person.name);
personDetailCloned.find('.person_username').text(person.username);
personDetailCloned.find('.person_email').text(person.email);
$('.card-container').append(personDetailCloned);
}
});
});
</script>
I will need help with the closing tags as above is just an example

The solution is:
success: function(result){
data =(result);
There was no need o convert the data to OBJ or anything ( blush). Then the code on the 2nd half of the Ajax script will receive the data and populate. Thanks to all contributors.

Ajax not submitting $_Post

I have this section of code that is suppose to get the Values of the input fields and then add them to the database. The collection of the values works correctly and the insert into the database works correctly, I am having issue with the data posting. I have narrowed it down to the data: and $__POST area and im not sure what I have done wrong.
JS Script
$("#save_groups").click( function() {
var ids = [];
$.each($('input'), function() {
var id = $(this).attr('value');
//Put ID in array.
ids.push(id);
console.log('IDs'+ids);
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "inc/insert.php",
data: {grouparray: ids },
success: function() {
$("#saved").fadeOut('slow');
console.log('Success on ' + ids);
}
});
});
PHP Section
<?php
include ('connect.php');
$grouparray = $_POST['grouparray'];
$user_ID = '9';
$sql = "INSERT INTO wp_fb_manager (user_id, group_id) VALUES ($user_ID, $grouparray)";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if ($result === TRUE) {
echo "New records created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysql_error();
}
?>

You cannot send an array trough an ajax call.
First, use something like:
var idString = JSON.stringify(ids);
And use it: data: {grouparray: idString },
On the PHP side:
$array = json_decode($_POST['grouparray']);
print_r($array);

How to load numbers into MySQLi fetch_array() function

Using following MySQLi and PHP snippet I can export the result in a numeric array as:
["8","188.396496","7.876766","69885005.45"]
Now I need to have the output in exact numeric format like (removing " " from the items)
[8,188.396496,7.876766,69885005.45]
and here is the code I have in PHP part
$query = "SELECT project, powerline, road, cost FROM `charts_econo_new`" ;
$results = $con->query($query);
if($results) {
while($row = $results->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM)) {
$json=json_encode($row);
}
}
$con->close();
echo $json;
?>
How can I do that?
Update
var req2 = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
url: "assets/tempchart.php"
});
req2.done(function(data) {
var cars = [];
cars.push(data)
console.log(cars[0]);
in this case the out out is [8,188.396496,7.876766,69885005.45] but I need to get ONLY 8 as cars[0] is 8.

if ($results) {
$row = $results->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM);
$row = array_map('floatval', $row); // Convert strings to numbers
echo json_encode($row);
}
The Javascript should be:
req2.done(function(data) {
var cars = [];
cars.push(data[0]);
console.log(cars[0]);
});

You just have to cast your results to float before calling json_encode :
$query = "SELECT project, powerline, road, cost FROM `charts_econo_new`" ;
$results = $con->query($query);
if($results) {
while($row = $results->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM)) {
// Cast to float
foreach($row as &$item) {
$item = (float) $item;
}
$json=json_encode($row);
}
}
$con->close();
echo $json;
(And you are only getting the last row of your table, because you overwrite the content of $json each time but if you only have one row in your table that can be ok)

Please try to use floatval() function to convert string from DB in float values.

Php echo json_encode array into javascript array

I am trying to send a post to a php script which will collect all the account information from the database using this...
var e = document.getElementById("lstAccounts");
var accountID = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
alert("Account ID:"+accountID);
$.post("php/getAccount.php", {ID: accountID}, function(data)
{
var accountInfo = data;
});
This posts into this...
<?php
$id = $_POST['ID'];
include('database_api.php');
$db = new DatabaseControl;
$db->open_connection();
$result = $db->db_query("SELECT * FROM tblAccount WHERE ID=$id");
$account_info = array();
//Get Basic Information
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$account_info['Name'] = $row['Name'];
$account_info['CRN'] = $row['CRN'];
$account_info['ID'] = $row['ID'];
$account_info['Type'] = $row['Type'];
$account_info['Revenue'] = $row['Revenue'];
$account_info['Industry'] = $row['Industry'];
$account_info['Description'] = $row['Description'];
$account_info['Employees'] = $row['NoOfEmployees'];
$account_info['Billing'] = $row['BillingAddress'];
$account_info['Shipping'] = $row['ShippingAddress'];
}
//Get Details
$result = $db->db_query("SELECT tblDetails.ID, tblDetails.Label, tblDetails.Value FROM tblAccountDetails
INNER JOIN tblDetails ON tblDetails.ID = tblAccountDetails.DetailID
WHERE AccountID=$id");
//Get Basic Information
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$account_info['Detail'.$row['ID']]['Label'] = $row['Label'];
$account_info['Detail'.$row['ID']]['Value'] = $row['Value'];
}
//Get Contact Information
//Get Invoices
//Get Payments
//Get Notes
//Get To-Do
//Events
//Send back to javascript
echo json_encode($account_info);
?>
I need the echoed json_encode to enter a javascript on the return data. How do I get that data into an array?
$.post("php/getAccount.php", {ID: accountID}, function(data)
{
//In here how do I decode data into a javascript array
});
The data is set at "{"Name":"A business name","CRN":null,"ID":"17","Type":"User","Revenue":null,"Industry":"Software & Internet","Description":null,"Employees":null,"Billing":"An Address","Shipping":"An Address","Detail75":{"Label":"Phone","Value":"a phone number"},"Detail76":{"Label":"Email","Value":"an email address"}}" on return

pass in json_encode()'ed data from your php, like:
...
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$account_info['Detail'.$row['ID']]['Label'] = $row['Label'];
$account_info['Detail'.$row['ID']]['Value'] = $row['Value'];
}
echo json_encode($account_info);
in js part:
$.post("php/getAccount.php", {ID: accountID}, function(data) {
//parse the json response
var response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
console.log(response); //you can use $.each to iterate the data
});

First Set the datatype as JSON
$.post("php/getAccount.php", {ID: accountID}, function(data)
{
// Confirm Response
console.log(data);
$.each(data, function(i, e){
console.log(e);
});
}, 'json');

best option to get php array variable in Javascript produced by php script that requested through an ajax call

Currently I am trying to create a live search bar that only produce 5 results max and more option if there is over 5 results. So what I have done so far is a jquery ajax script to call a php script that runs asynchronously on key up in textbox I have.
I want to get the php array then I will code it further using javascript.
This is my code now:
Javascript code
<script type="text/javascript">
function find(value)
{
$( "#test" ).empty();
$.ajax({
url: 'searchDb.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {"asyn": value},
success: function(data) {
return $lala;
var lala = $lala;
$( "#test" ).html($lala);
}
});
}
</script>
SearchDb PHP code:
<?php
function searchDb($abc, $limit = null){
if (isset($abc) && $abc) {
$sql = "SELECT testa FROM test WHERE testa LIKE '%$abc%'";
if($limit !== null){
$sql .= "LIMIT ". $limit;
}
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die('Error, insert query failed') ;
$lists = array();
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$var = "<div>".$row["testa"]."</div>";
array_push($lists, $var);
}
}
return $lists;
}
$abc = $_POST['asyn'];
$limit = 6;
$lala = searchDb($abc);
print_r($lala);
?>
How can I get $lala

Have you considered encoding the PHP array into JSON? So instead of just echoing the array $lala, do:
echo json_encode($lala);
Then, on the Javascript side, you'll use jQuery to parse the json.
var jsonResponse = $.parseJSON(data);
Then you'll be able to use this jsonResponse variable to access the data returned.

You need to read jQuery .ajax and also you must view this answer it's very important for you
$.ajax({
url: 'searchDb.php',
cache: false,
type: 'post'
})
.done(function(html) {
$("#yourClass").append(html);
});
In your searchDb.php use echo and try this code:
function searchDb($str, $limit = null){
$lists = array();
if (isset($str) && !empty($data)) {
$sql = "SELECT testa FROM test WHERE testa LIKE '%$data%'";
if(0 < $limit){
$sql .= "LIMIT ". $limit;
}
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die('Error, insert query failed') ;
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$lists[] = "<div>".$row["testa"]."</div>";
}
}
return implode('', $lists);
}
$limit = 6;
$data = searchDb($_POST['asyn'], $limit);
echo $data;
?>

If you dont have or your page searchDb.php dont throw any error, then you just need to echo $lala; and you will get result in success part of your ajax function
ALso in your ajax funciton you have
//you are using data here
success: function(data) {
return $lala;
var lala = $lala;
$( "#test" ).html($lala);
}
you must try some thing like this
success: function(data) {
var lala = data;
$( "#test" ).html($lala);
}
