Question

I have this bit of code:

function addEmail() {
            email = $("#email").val();
            atime = $("select#time").val();
            tid = <?= $tid; ?>;
            $.post("remindme.php", { email: email, time: atime, tid: tid },
                function(data) {
                    if (data == "x") {
                        alert(data);
                        $('#remindme').modal('hide');
                        $('#quota').show();
                    }
                    else {
                        alert(data);
                        $('#remindme').modal('hide');
                        $('#remindersuccess').show();
                    }
                });
            }

remindme.php echo’s “x” if something is wrong.

I’m trying to compare the output from remindme.php but even though it echo’s the x, the condition data == "x" does not work.

I added alert(data) and I can see it properly displaying the x when needed..

Answer 1

If the server echoes the x string then the if (data == 'x') test inside the success callback should work. Your problem is somewhere else.
