Question

Greeting, fellow programmers,
I have a problem…. keep in mind that I’m completely self-taught, so this may be a stupid question, but I’ve done hours of research and no one seems to have had the same problem..
I’m working on a php project and I need to be able to perform and ajax GET request, but then store the response as a string variable and perform some string methods on it. Is this possible? And if so, how do I do it.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I’ve been using JQuery’s .load() method to perform GET’s and POST’s.

The following could be a better approach than using the .load function if you have to use it for other things than just interacting with the DOM.

$.get("from-page.php", function(data) {
    var manipulated = data.substring(data.length, Math.ceil(data.length / 2));
    //any kind of manipulations you want

    $("#div").html(manipulated);
});
