  • 0

I’ve got a JSON value that has been converted from a JavaScript object using JSON.stringify. I’m trying to parse the contents of the JSON using PHP, but I haven’t had any luck. I’m sure I’m doing something really basic wrong.

In file1.php, I’ve got something like:

<html>
<head>
    <script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
    <script src='/json2.js'></script>
    <script>
        var irxmlnewsreleases = new Array();
        irxmlnewsreleases[0]={
            "attachmentfileid":12039
         };
         var news_release = JSON.stringify(irxmlnewsreleases);
         $(document).ready(function () {
             $("#response").text(news_release);  
         });
    </script>
 </head>
 <body>
    <div id="response"></div>
 </body>
 </html>

I’m then trying to read this data from file1.php using json_decode in file2.php.

I tried first (wrongly) using file_get_contents and have been bashing at this for a while without success. I guess the issue is obviously that the JSON value doesn’t exist until the JavaScript is run, so PHP is of course never able to read the value of the jQuery-generated div content. What I don’t know is how to get that value.

The JSON is being generated successfully in file1.php and is valid JSON (I’ve run it through jsonlint).

What’s a better way of getting the value of that dynamically-generated JSON into PHP?

         $(document).ready(function () {
         $("#response").text(news_release);  
         $.post('file2.php', { php_post_var1: news_release }, function (data) { 
           //do something with the PHP script output here if you want
         });
     });

    Then in your PHP script file2.php do something like

    <?php
$news_release = $_POST['php_post_var1'];
echo 'PHP received ' . $news_release;
?>
