Question

I’m a newbie so be kind 🙂
In Javascript, how do I add to a variable the current entry from an array? See my code below.

    <?php
        $array = mysql_query(SELECT column1 FROM table1 WHERE column2='$entry'); 
                                           //this returns several entries

        <script>
            var array=<?=json_encode($array)?>;   // the      
            var data={mouse:mickey, rabbit:roger};
                $.each(array, function(){
                        $.post('dostuff.php',data+','+{array[this]}); // <-- not sure
                        });
        </script>
    ?>

My question is about the data sent in the “post” jquery command. how do I add the current database entry and send it as part of the data sent in the ajax request. I wrote it roughly, but I’m confident it isn’t right the way I wrote it here.

Thanks!

You can add properties directly to your data object. Also note that the supplied function for each can take an index, and a value parameter.

var array=<?=json_encode($array)?>;   // the      
var data={mouse:mickey, rabbit:roger};
 $.each(array, function(index, value){
      data.whatEverYouWantToNameThis = value;
      $.post('dostuff.php', data); 
 });
