Hey iGhost, yup, your code looks good to me – definitely the right strategy. I think jQuery is the easiest way to go as well – it greatly simplifies the AJAX process. I’d make 2 minor suggestions:

if(respons.success = 1) {

if(response.success == 1) {

2. After echoing in the PHP , you should probably include die() so that the PHP doesn’t write any additional lines (like whitespace after the closing PHP tag) back to the browser, which can create json or headers errors.

Of course, you’ll also need to attach the AJAX function to a submit event, something like:

$('form').submit(function(){
  //do your ajax here
  return false;
});

It would also be good to include fallback functionality for graceful degradation when JS is disabled. The form could submit hidden elements for action and id. The jQuery could submit an extra data value that indicates that AJAX is being used. This value could be checked server-side to determine whether the server should respond with JSON or not. Obviously the details are specific to the implementation here, but that’s something else to keep in mind.

Also, you can use $.getJSON in many cases, which simplified the ajax call. See http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/

Hope that helps

Ya i tried to edit my posts to fix those typing errors but it wouldn’t work i also forgot that return false

Thanks for the heads up

Hey Ruben you might wanna do something like this:

PHP code

<?php if(isset($_POST['go']){ // button name
do_stuff();
}else{
do_other_stuff();
}

?>

Hope that’s what you want

How could that work? The second bracket of the if() statement isn’t there, so it would throw an error.

jQuery.get('add_xml.php?id='+xml_count, function(data){

//stuff here

});
