Data from post request

Question

var pload = function(ctrl, func){
    var dataa;
    $.post(\"/index.php/\"+ctrl+\"/\"+func,{}, function(data){
    dataa = data;
    });
    return dataa;
};

var bind          


        

Answer 1

You're not getting any value back because $.post is asynchronous, and won't halt the program until it receives a value back.

You should move the data handling portion to the function which will be called when the async call returns its result.

var pload = function(ctrl, func){
    var dataa;
    $.post("/index.php/"+ctrl+"/"+func,
      {}, 
      //this function will be called when $.post receives its response
      function(data){
        alert(data);
        $(div).html(data);
      });
    return dataa;
};
