Question

how do i convert my value from json_decode to string so i can pass in a the string value to check if an email exists here is my code.

my json is in this format:

{email:'[e-mail]' }

PHP:

$var = json_decode($_REQUEST["email"], true);
$result = $membership->CheckEmailAddress($var); // get $var to become a string

It looks pretty ugly im just starting php and Im not getting very far aye lol.

jquery:

$('#checkemail').click(function () {
    var json = {
        email: $('#email').val()
    };
    $.post('http://' + location.host + '/buyme/include/getemailaddress.php', {
        'email': '[e-mail]'
    }, function (res) {
        var obj = JSON.parse(res);
        alert(obj.message)
    });
});

also how do I put my json variable in my $.post function cose thats the value I want to put there

Answer 1

what value in $_REQUEST[“email”] if it’s a json value you are showing above then try

your $var is a json object you can fetch email value like not use $var it’s an array

tried this :-

$val = json_encode(array('email' =>'[e-mail]'));
echo $val; //output {"email":"[e-mail]"}
$var = json_decode($val, true);
print_r($var); // output Array ( [email] => [e-mail] ) 
echo $var['email']; //output [e-mail]
