Sending JSON jQuery Ajax to PHP and back

Question

I\'m having problems sending a JSON jQuery array via Ajax to a PHP script. What is the problem here:

var tee = $(\'#voting_image img\').attr(\'id\');
var vote =          


        

Answer 1

AFAIK, there is no $.toJSON method in jQuery, you are probably looking for $.parseJSON and by the way you are already creating JSON here:

var thing = {tee: tee, vote: vote};

Answer 2

I think the problem is that you send data as object, try to send as array var thing = {tee: tee, vote: vote}; to array

Answer 3

Thanks for your responces, I went with:

$.getJSON(
            '/vote_save.php?vote='+encoded,
            function(data) 
            {
                $('#voting_hint_name').html(data.bob);
                $('#voting_buttons').html('<div id="voting_buttons"><a href="#" id="vote_yes">PRINT IT</a><a href="#" id="vote_no">DON\'T PRINT IT</a></div>');
            }   
    );

instead of $.ajax and it worked.

Check out this question: Serializing to JSON in jQuery

The accepted answer links to a JSON serialization plug-in recommended by John Resig (the creator of jQuery). It doesn't really address your specific bug, but perhaps using that plug-in will help you arrive at a stable solution.

From looking at it briefly, if you use that plug-in, it appears you would then replace this line:

var encoded = $.toJSON(thing);

with this:

var encoded = JSON.stringify(thing); 

Hope that helps!
