Question

I have a script to send friend request by Request Dialog

function requestCallback(response)
{
    if(response && response.request)
    {
        console.log(response);
        location.href='step2.php';
    }
    else
    {   
        location.href='step1.php';
    }
}

The console.log(response) outputs in Firefox’s console :

({request:THIS_IS_REQUEST_ID, to:[REQUESTED_USER_ID_1, REQUESTED_USER_ID_2, REQUESTED_USER_ID_ETC...]})

How I can convert the variable console.log(response); to PHP variable?

Because I need the values like REQUESTED_USER_ID_1, REQUESTED_USER_ID_2 JSON output from the console.log(response); to be parsed by PHP’s json_decode, like this.

Thanks!

You cannot actually convert them into PHP variable, but what you can do is that you can send the REQUESTED_USER_ID1…IDn to the php file that you are setting as location.href as a HTTP GET parameter in this way.

function requestCallback(response)
{
    if(response && response.request)
    {
        console.log(response);
        location.href='step2.php?ids='+response.to.join(",");
    }
    else
    {   
        location.href='step1.php';
    }
}

And then in your php file step2.php, you can get those user ids in this way

<?php
$userids = explode(",",$_GET['ids']);
?>

Hope it helps.
