Question

I am having problems setting the educationflag variable to 1. The problem I am solving is not to call enableEdit.php file if flag is 1.

I want to set the flag to 1 when the control comes in the if condition. Right now the control comes in the if condition but does not set the variable to 1. My code is printed below. I

var educationFlag=0;

function editEducation(class){

   //I send education in class variable. So class ='education';
   var condition=eval(class+'Flag');
   if ( condition == 0 ){
      $.ajax({
        url: "enableEdit.php",
        data: "class="+class,
        success: function(msg) {    
        }
    })
      eval(class+'Flag'=1);
   }
}

Thanks

Without trying to fix your underlying issues and stop the pollution of the global scope, this should work. Please note I have renamed the reserved word class to varPrefix

var educationFlag=0;

function editClass(varPrefix) {
   if (window[varPrefix+'Flag'] === 0 ){
      $.ajax({
        url: "enableEdit.php",
        data: "class="+varPrefix,
        success: function(msg) {    
          window[varPrefix+'Flag']=1;
        }
    })
  }
}

I send education in varPrefix variable. So varPrefix =’education’;

editClass("education") ...
