On successful file transfer to server in jquery (Cordova file transfer), I get object as response.
Now object has array in it, something like:
Array
(
[file] => Array
(
[name] => [email protected]
[type] => image/jpeg
[tmp_name] => /tmp/php4TR9pw
[error] => 0
[size] => 348392
)
)
How can I get value of name?
Code shown looks like the print of a php array. That is not a valid response to be read in an ajax request. Use json_encode() to echo json representation of the array
echo json_encode($data);
I have no familiarity with cordova file transfer so you may or may not need to parse the response using JSON.parse(results) to convert to javascript object.
If this transfer is doing this using $.ajax setting the dataType to 'json' will do the parsing internally
json_encode(array('status' => 'success','message'=> 'success','shorturl'=>$short)); in php and in jquery If I did json_stringyfy(r.response) I get result as {"status":"success", "message":"success", "shorturl": "abcde"}
print_r($data) which is useless in ajax responseLike charlietfl already said, a normal way of handling data between the device and a server is ajax which is provided by jQuery. An Ajax function for retrieving data from a server would look like this:
function getDataFromServer() {
var term=null;
$.ajax({
url:'http://yourUrlGoesHere.tld',
type:'GET',
data:term,
dataType:'json', //defines what you get back from the server
error:function(jqXHR,text_status,strError){},
success:function(data) //{
for (i=0; i < data.items.length; i++){
//This is the part, where you can do what you want with anything inside the array.
console.log(data); //i would simply do this to first see the result inside the console
}
}
})
}
So, belonging to your comment, you should save your array inside sth. for example called myArray. Now shorturl would be accessable via myArray.shorturl.
Try something like console.log(myArray.shorturl);
array[1][1]this way with js.array['file']['name']would give you that. if you could post js array, that would be nice to answer.
