Question

i have a jquery post like that

<script type = "text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#find').click(function() {
        var amount = $('#amount').val();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8",
            url: "questions.php",
            data: {
                'amount': amount
            },
            success: function(data) {
                $('#results').show();
                $('#results').html(data);
            }
        });
    });
});
</script>

Array ( [0] => mpla mpla [1] => mplum mplum ....

how can i get the items using jquery or javascript before presenting them on screen.

i want the text only like links

mpla mpla -->that is a link

mplum mplum -->that is a link too

Answer 1

In your php. Do a:

echo json_encode( YOUR ARRAY );

Set your jQuery $.ajax settings datatype to json.

In you success function you can now use

success : function(data){
    // data is now a javascript array
    var st = data.join(" ");
}
