I am attempting to implement ajax with php. Here is the PHP script I have:
<?php
// This file retrieves the POST information sent by an AJAX request and returns the values if successful.
$price['name'] = "Called";
$price['Wheel'] = 75.25;
$price['Tire'] = 50.00;
echo json_encode($price);
?>
and I am calling this code from my main page like this :
$.post("ajax/profileMod.php", {
'lname':lname,
'fname':fname,
'mname':mname,
'language':language,
'title':title,
'ptype':ptype,
'vip':vip,
'vreason':vreason
})
// Retrieve the data from the php script
.done(function(data) {
// php code : echo json_encode(array("name"=>"Called!"));
alert(data);
}, "json");
// Prevent default behavior
return false;
});
The returned result from the alert looks like this: {"name":"Called","Wheel":75.25,"Tire":50}
Is there a way to format this result so it can be used in javascript like this EX:
alert(myresult['Name']) ; Would give me "Called".
I would like to use an associative array in JavaScript, but I read somewhere that you can only have objects in JavaScript, not associative arrays...
Please provide help!
