I have a javascript function inside which i have two $.post requests.Both the $.post requests should get executed.But sometimes,second $.post request doesn\'t get executed.W
$.post()
is an abbreviated form of the $.ajax() structure. I usually prefer to use the $.ajax()
structure because:
asynch: false,
In your case, you might find your problem easier to solve in a $.ajax()
structure, since it would be easier to see that a second ajax call (that depends on the outcome of a first ajax call) must happen in the success function of the first ajax call.
Here is a standalone example (too bad jsFiddle cannot handle ajax...):
TESTER.PHP
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#eml').focus();
$('#mybutt').click(function() {
var $a = $('#eml').val();
var $b = $('#pw').val();
//alert('Email: ' +$a+ ' Pass: ' +$b);
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: "yourphpfile.php",
data: 'email=' +$a+ '&pass=' +$b,
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
var aData = data.split('|');
var name = aData[0];
var code = aData[1];
alert('Name: ' +name+ ' Code: ' +code);
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: "yourphpfile.php",
data: 'name=' +name+ '&code=' +code,
success: function(newdata) {
alert(newdata);
} //END success_ajax2
}); //END ajax() #2
} //END success_ajax1
}); //END ajax() #1
}); //END mybutt.click()
}); //END $(document).ready()
</script>
</head>
<body>
Email: <br />
<input type="text" id="eml" /><br />
Password: <br />
<input type="password" id="pw" /><br />
<input type="button" id="mybutt" value="Submit">
</body>
</html>
yourphpfile.php
<?php
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
$e = $_POST['email'];
$p = $_POST['pass'];
$name = 'Bob';
$code = '1234';
$resp = $name .'|'. $code;
echo $resp;
}else if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
$n = '<h1>Here is something new</h1>';
echo $n;
}
