Question

heres my code so you see what i’m trying to do, which obviously isn’t working:

        $('#selector').change(function() {  
        if ($(this).val().length > 0)
        {           
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "ajax.php",
                data: "id="+$(this).val(),
                success: function(data){
                    if (data != 'error')
                    {
                        $('#main_url').val(data[2]);
                        $('#main_url_title').val(data[3]);
                    }
                }
            });
        }
    });

i set up an alert(data); and all it pops up with is “Array”. so now my 2 fields are being populated with “r” and “a”…what is the correct way of doing this?

I think you may encode php array in json data, and then use json with jquery

Add in ajax.php something like echo json_encode($your_php_array)
