using an array with json

[Aravona]

I've a bit of code which I'm having problems with.

I've built my function to run on a button click which works fine, posts my varaibles into a php file and the php file sends back the information to my javascript. However I want to send an array back to my javascript but it doesnt seem to quite work.

the php array:

$variable = array( newp => $newp, totalitem => $totalitem );
	echo json_encode($variable);

my success function:

success: function(hp) {
		
    	document.getElementById('hp').innerHTML = hp.totalitem;
		document.getElementById('points').innerHTML = hp.newp;

Any help would be great,

Thanks,

Aravona

php

$variable = array( newp => $newp, totalitem => $totalitem );
$mystring='';
foreach($variable as $val => $key){$mystring.=$key.';';}
echo json_encode($mystring); 

js

function(hp) {
hp=hp.split(';');		
document.getElementById('hp').innerHTML = hp[1];
document.getElementById('points').innerHTML = hp[0];

Thanks for such a swift reply, but my two spans (hp / points) are still not updating.

[Padonak]

hp=hp.split(';');
alert(hp);

and check what is there. it is hard to imagine what you are sending from php

[Aravona]

Absolutely nothing happens, so I'm guessing the problem goes further back than that. In fact nothing within my success seems to be working.

It should simply be two numbers being outputted.

[Padonak]

what kind of error have you got?

if there was no any alert() it would be good to check with alert() the hp variable which you're passing to the function - what is there?

[Aravona]

No error, nothing changes on my page at all.

I don't understand what you mean by the second sentance sorry.

[Padonak]

my english is not good sorry. i meant that it would be good to check what is the hp var:

function(hp) {
hp=hp.split(';');		
alert(hp);
document.getElementById('hp').innerHTML = hp[1];
document.getElementById('points').innerHTML = hp[0];

but if this alert() doesn't work i would check the same way the hp var which is passed to the function:

function(hp) {

thats just part of my ajax - its the variable in the .php file.

echo json_encode($mystring);

The code in my .php file works - everything that side works apart from where you gave me:

$variable = array( newp => $newp, totalitem => $totalitem );
$mystring='';
foreach($variable as $val => $key){$mystring.=$key.';';}
echo json_encode($mystring);

It should be sending the array back to here to be used in the function(hp) - Ive done this fine with a single variable just not an array.

$.ajax({
  		type: 'POST',
  		url: 'store.php',
  		data: { 
				'function': 'hp',
				'quantity': hpqty
			  },
  		dataType: 'json',
  		cache: false,
  		success: function(hp) {

  		// code to change my spans

}
