How do I encode JSON in PHP via jQuery Ajax post data?

Question

I have an HTML form and send data to php file when hitting submit button.

$.ajax({
    url: \"text.php\",
    type: \"POST\",
    data: {
        amount: amount,         


        

Answer 1

You're converting resulting object to string instead of displaying it.

Instead of result, if you want print object inside some wrapper, you can do something like this:

var text = '{';

for(var i in data) {
  var value = data[i];

  text += '"'+i+'":"'+value+'", ';
}

text += '}';

$('#result').text(text);

But you may consider that console.log is much easier and faster way to see the response in json format.
