Passing object values from php to jQuery

Question

I am using jQuery .ajax() to submit some values to db.php page where I retrieve additional records from my db. I use a class that returns the query results in a form of an object. I need to return that object back to original page in response and output it.

$.ajax({
   type: 'POST',
   url:  '/db.php',
   data: {
     'item': myItem
   },
   dataType : 'json',
   async: true,
   success: function (response) {

       // need returned values here

   }
});

db.php

$results = $db->get_results("
    SELECT *
    FROM t1
    WHERE id = " . $id );

// if I were to output my results here I'd do
// foreach ($results AS $res) {
//     $item = $res->item;
// }

echo '{ "res": '.$results.' }';

Now sure if I need to encode anything before passing it back to my JS...

PHP's json_encode is your friend.

how about json_encode()

echo json_encode($result);

js:

success: function (response) {

   console.log(response)

   for(var i=0; i <response.length; i++){...}

}

edit: make sure you add application/json; charset=utf-8 header, if not you'll need to parse the response JSON.parse(response)

you can do something like this with the result:

echo json_encode(array(
 'result' => $result,
));

and in your success: function(response)

success: function(response){
 response = JSON.parse(response);
 console.log(response);
}
