Notice Array to string conversion in

Ran into an issue with simply querying and returning the suggestID value.
I keep getting Array to string conversion, so i'm a bit lost. I'm
Javascript
$('#autocomplete').on('typeahead:selected', function (e, data) {
console.log(data);
var dataID = data;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "get.php",
data: $.param({itemID: dataID }),
success: function(data) {
console.log(data)
}
});
})
Get PHP FILE
<?php
require 'db.php';
if(isset($_POST['itemID'])) {
$db = new DbConnect;
$conn = $db->connect();
$str = $_POST['itemID'];
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = '$str'");
$stmt->execute();
$result= $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo json_encode($result);
}
?>

The itemID parameter is being treated as an array by PHP:
$str = $_POST['itemID'];
If you were to var_dump that you might see that $str is an array.
When the data passed to ajax is an object and one of the property values is an array, param will serialize it using the array bracket syntax, which PHP automatically treats as an array. For example:
$.param({key: [1, 2, 3]}); // "key[]=1&key[]=2&key[]=3"

how to send this data from local storage to php online using jquery

This is my php codes to received and insert the data into the online database. I am very sure i these fabricated codes will not work but with you education and help i will get. thank you. insertdata.php
<?php
include 'connect.php';
include 'function.php';
//Create Object for DB_Functions clas
$db = new DB_Functions();
//Get JSON posted by Android Application
$json = $_POST["usersJSON"];
//Remove Slashes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
$json = stripslashes($json);
}
//Decode JSON into an Array
$data = json_decode($json);
//Util arrays to create response JSON
$a=array();
$b=array();
//Loop through an Array and insert data read from JSON into MySQL DB
for($i=0; $i<count($data) ; $i++)
{
//Store User into MySQL DB
$res = $db->storedata($data[$i]->callid,$data[$i]->pid,$data[$i]->pname,$data[$i]->medstay_amt,$data[$i]->med_amt,$data[$i]->imv_amt,$data[$i]->othermc_amt,$data[$i]->emtrans_amt,$data[$i]->outpden_am,$data[$i]->otherps_amt,$data[$i]->herb_amt,$data[$i]->medban_amt,$data[$i]->othermp_amt,$data[$i]->assist_amt,$data[$i]->code,$data[$i]->date);
//Based on inserttion, create JSON response
if($res){
$b["id"] = $data[$i]->pid;
$b["status"] = 'yes';
array_push($a,$b);
}else{
$b["id"] = $data[$i]->pid;
$b["status"] = 'no';
array_push($a,$b);
}
}
//Post JSON response back to Android Application
echo json_encode($a);
?>

You can do something like this:
$(document).on("click", ".BTN_Submit_Task", function () {
var AllTasks = ls.GetAllArr(LocalstorageName);
var id = $(this).attr("rec_id");
var result = $.grep(AllTasks, function(e){ return e.rec_id === id; });
$.ajax({
url: "url/of/php/file.php",
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
data: {usersJSON: [result]},
done: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
And BTW you probably want to make AllTasks variable global and assign it once, then you can call it from both functions.

pass php array to javascript using ajax

I try to get array from sql server using php , and parsing these array to javascript using ajax.
However , I have tried many solution by google , I can't get the array.
This is my php code:
<?php
include 'Connect.php';
$Store_int = $_GET['num'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `store` WHERE `Place_int` = " . $Store_int;
mysqli_select_db($link, "web");
$link->set_charset("utf8");
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
$arr = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_object($result)) {
$p = (string)$row->Name;
$arr[] = $p;
}
//print_r($arr);
$jsonArr = json_encode($arr, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
echo $jsonArr;
mysqli_free_result($result);
mysqli_close($link);
?>
Array in php will encode and display:
["pen","pencil","apple","cat","dog"]
and the .js file
function getArr(store_int) {
var jsArray = new Array();
$.ajax({
url: "fromSQL_store.php",
data: {
num: $("#store_int").val()
},
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert(num);
jsArray = JSON.parse(data.jsonArr);
}, error: function (data) {
alert("123");
}
});
//alert(jsArray.length);
return jsArray;
}
In .js , I will always get empty response(undefined) from php.
Because the ajax will answer "error" function..., and the error status is 200.

Your array will always return undfined as the AJAX call is async, your function returns jsArray before it is set. and You don't need JSON.parse() as you have defined dataType as json in your ajax call. Pass a function to your getArr() function and use your data in that function.
function getArr(store_int, outputFn){ // what do you use store_int for?
$.ajax({
url: "fromSQL_store.php",
data: {
num: $("#store_int").val()
},
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
outputFn(data)
},error: function(data){
alert("123");
}
});
}
Then use it like
getArr('5', function (data) {
console.log(data)
})
Console output

Your problem lies here. You are attempting to access data.jsonArr which is always undefined. The JSON data sent is actually embodied by data variable.
success: function(data) {
alert(num);
jsArray = JSON.parse(data.jsonArr); // Replace by jsArray = data;
}
NOTE, You might also need to specify that the MIME media type that is being outputted is JSON. Putting this at the top of your PHP script should solve your problem.
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');

How to access AJAX returned data with PHP?

I hava data structure like this which is then returned to another file with AJAX:
$data = array();
$data['message'] = "You are searching: $domain!";
$data['domain:name'] = "domain.tld";
$data['domain:registrar'] = "Registrar Ltd.";
$data['domain:creation'] = "2015-26-05";
$data['domain:expiry'] = "2016-26-05";
$data['ns'] = "ns1.somedns.tld";
$data['owner']['name'] = "Owner Name";
$data['owner']['type'] = "Org";
echo json_encode($data);
That data is then append to html with AJAX like this:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'carnetEpp.php',
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (data) {
dataType: 'json',
//console.log(data);
$('#response').html(data);
$("#myModal").modal();
}
});
Now I want to pass that returned JSON object to PHP variable, so I can easy manipulate date with PHP. How do I do that? Or is best practice to do it with JS? Basically I want to print every key:pair value, so maybe for in is good choice.
And, I am not sure, should, or must I echo data in my script so AJAX can pick it up, or can I just pass data to variable and then fetch it in AJAX?

You need to add this code in success.
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
alert(obj.message);
OR
var obj = $.parseJSON(data);
alert(obj.message);
You will get the message sent from PHP.

before sending data in php, setup header for response:
$data = [
'key' => 'value',
'key2' => 'vlue2'
];
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);
then if u use jquery, $.getJson() it really cool solution for handle input json data.

Loop Through json_encoded PHP Array in JavaScript

I am having an issue with looping through an array that was passed from PHP through an Ajax request.
For some reason my javascript thinks that either every character is a part of the array or my response variable is just being passed as a string.
Here is my javascript:
<script>
$(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "/dev/editButton/get_names.php",
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
</script>
And here is my PHP:
<?php
include '../portfolio/libraries/settings.php';
$connect = mysqli_connect($HOST, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS, $DATABASE);
$query = "SELECT * FROM AUTH_User";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
$names = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
array_push($names, $row['FirstName']." ".$row['LastName']);
}
echo json_encode($names);
?>
The response that I get looks like this:
["Test Person","Test2 Person"]
However, if I loop through this using javascript or just print out response[0] I get each character as part of the array. The first element would be [, next would be ", etc.
I would like Test Person to be one element and Test2 Person to be another.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

You need to use JSON.parse on the response. Wihtout calling that function you are just getting the index of characters in the JavaScript string.
var resultArray = JSON.parse(response);
resultArray[0]; //Should Be "test Person"

The result of the .ajax method is interpreted according to the Content-Type header of the response. If it is incorrect or not specified, the response variable will contain the raw json code as a string.
So one solution is change the PHP code by adding this line:
header("Content-Type: text/json");
Docs:
The type of pre-processing depends by default upon the Content-Type of
the response, but can be set explicitly using the dataType option. If
the dataType option is provided, the Content-Type header of the
response will be disregarded.
You can parse that text to an object, or you can let JQuery do that for you by specifying a datatype in the call. The response parameter will then hold the object instead of the raw json string.
Docs:
If json is specified, the response is parsed using jQuery.parseJSON
before being passed, as an object, to the success handler. The parsed
JSON object is made available through the responseJSON property of the
jqXHR object.
$(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "/dev/editButton/get_names.php",
datatype: "json",
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});

In this particular situation, you can use
success: function(response) {
response = eval(response);
console.log(response);
}
But this is bad practice.
Really the best solution here is to modify your ajax call as follow:
$(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "/dev/editButton/get_names.php",
datatype: 'json',
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
The specified datatype, will request the returned data to be json, and the jquery will automatically parse it to a javascript object.

You must parse JSON to array. You can do this using the following code:
var arr = $.parseJSON(response);
Now arr[0] should be "Test Person".

You can do it the hard way, or this way:
First, you need to specify the return type for AJAX.
$(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "/dev/editButton/get_names.php",
dataType: "json",
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
});
Alternatively, you could do it this way:
$(function() {
$.getJSON("/dev/editButton/get_names.php", function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
});
For this to work, you will need to specify the HTML headers accordingly in PHP:
<?php
include '../portfolio/libraries/settings.php';
$connect = mysqli_connect($HOST, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS, $DATABASE);
$query = "SELECT * FROM AUTH_User";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
$names = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
array_push($names, $row['FirstName']." ".$row['LastName']);
}
header("Content-Type: application/json");
echo json_encode($names);
exit();
?>
The exit(); is just for safety so you wouldn't ruin the valid JSON format.
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, so you should not have to do anything complicated there. Here is a simple loop you could use for example:
for(var i in response) {
console.log(response[i]);
}
Alternatively, if the response is not an array but an object with properties, you could loop through the object properties by getting the right keys first:
var objKeys = Object.keys(response);
for(var i in objKeys) {
var key = objKeys[i];
console.log(response[key]);
}
I hope this helps!
