I’m do output with json_encode to sending to javascript, with this code.
<?php include "Connection.php"; $syntax_query = "select * from product"; $thisExecuter = mysqli_query($conn, $syntax_query); $result = array(); while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($thisExecuter)){ array_push( $result, array( "id" => $row["product_id"], "name" => $row["product_name"] ) ); } echo json_encode($result); ?>
so output show like this,
[{“id”:”121353568″,”name”:”Baju Casual – Black”},{“id”:”556903232″,”name”:”Tas LV – Red”},{“id”:”795953280″,”name”:”Sword – Wood”},{“id”:”834032960″,”name”:”Scooter – Iron Plate”}]
and code javascript like this
function showHint() { const xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.onload = function() { var obj = this.responseText; document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = obj.id; } xmlhttp.open("GET", "Download.php"); xmlhttp.send(); }
so obj.id its not working, output show undifined.

I use ajax calls when I want to call a Php file and get a response from the same as below to try once that as I have shown. Before moving with Ajax you must need jquery to be imported into the calling file.
If Jquery is imported then ignore the steps
Here are steps,
- Go to the link https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js copy whole content (use ctl+A to select whole content and ctl+C to copy)
- Open a new file in the current project folder and paste the copied content (use ctl+V to paste) save it as ‘jquery-3.6.0.min.js’
- Import the js file in the HTML file in script tag as shown ‘
Now, this is the ajax example to call the PHP file and to get a response
function showHint() { //since you have used GET method I have used here GET but You can use POST also here $.ajax({ url: 'Download.php', type: 'get', //if any value you want to pass then uncomment below line // data: {'name_to_pass':'value'}, //the variable can be accessed in the php file by 'name to pass' under $_GET['name_to_pass'] or $_POST['name_to_pass'] based on type success: function(res) { // open DevTool console to see results console.log(JSON.parse(res)); } }); }
