Question

How can I display data from a php file using sencha touch2 ?

Answer 1

You have several ways to achieve it but for me I will make use of json and Ext.ajax.request

For example my example.php look simple like this:

$array = array(
    "go" => true,
    "message" => "Thank you for your message",
);

As I have said, I’m using json so I will need to encode the $array to retrieve it in view later

echo json_encode($array);

Then in your view you can get the data from php file using Ext.util.JSONP.request() but here I will handle it by Ext.Ajax.request() so:

Ext.Ajax.request({
  values : paramValues // values that you want to pass to example.php
  url: 'example.php',

  success: function(response) {
      //Here you need to decode the json data
      var data    = Ext.decode(response.responseText)
          go      = data.go,
          message = data.message;
      console.log(message); //Thank you for your message
  }

  failure: function(response) {
      console.log(response.responseText);
  }
});

This maybe not the best way and possible have mistakes but at least I hope that it will be useful 🙂
