Question

            $.ajax({ url: 'buildquery.php',
            data: {action: 'test'},
            type: 'post',
            success: function(output) {
                alert(output);
            }
        });

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
die();
?>

In this particular case I would like the PHP script to halt so I can see the output in my browser window and not return into the .ajax function. This would be for debugging purposes so I can output some data so my user can see the output while the application is under construction. Can this be done? Alternatives? I though about using the submit function of the form but this is going to cause some code changes between debug and release builds. Thanks for any commentary!

Answer 1

I would suggest just writing it to a file in the php script. Or use firebug. Or chrome developer tools. (Click network and select XHR)
