I'm having the PHP file return an array, and have it come out client-side as a Javascript array. Here is what I have been doing this:
PHP File (Example.php):
<?php
$id_numbers = array('NES-ZL','NES-AL','SNS-ZL');
for ($i=0; $i<count($the_array); $i++){
echo $id_numbers[$i];
echo '|';
}
?>
JS File:
id_numbers = new Array();
$.ajax({
url:"Example.php",
type:"POST",
success:function(msg){
id_numbers = msg.split('|');
}
});
My current method is just a little too convoluted for my taste.
What I'd like to do is to be able to just
return $id_numbers;
on the PHP side and directly translate it to a Javascript array after the AJAX call.
