Question

jQuery.get("ChkNewRspLive.php?lastmsgID=" + n, function(newitems){
     //some code to separate values of 2d array.
     $('#div1').append(msgid);
     $('#div2').append(rspid);  
}); 

Let’s say the value of newitems is [["320","23"],["310","26"]]

I want to assign “320” and “310” to var msgid.

I want to assign “23” and “26” to var rspid.

How to do that?

I tried to display newitems and the output is “Array”. I tried to display newitems[0] and the output is blank.

If I redeclare var newitems = [[“320″,”23”],[“310″,”26”]]; it works. So I guess the variable newitems from jQuery.get is something wrong. Is it I cannot pass the array from other page to current page through jQuery directly?

Regarding the array on other page, if echo json_encode($Arraytest); the output is [["320","23"],["310","26"]] but if echo $Arraytest; the output is Array. How do I pass the array from other page to currently page by jQuery.get?

I don’t totally understand the question but I’m going to assume you want the values in an array, as two values can’t be stored in one (scalar) variable simultaneously.

jQuery.get("ChkNewRspLive.php?lastmsgID=" + n, function(newitems){
    //some code to separate values of 2d array.
    var msgid = [],
        rspid = [];
    for( i = 0 ; i < newitems.length ; i++){
        msgid[msgid.length] = newitems[i][0];
        rspid[rspid.length] = newitems[i][1];
    }
    //msgid now contains ["320","310"]
    //rspid now contains ["23","26"]
}); 

Bear in mind those are in the function scope. If you want to use them outside of that scope instantiate them outside. see: closure
