Ajax and custom parameters - passing an array
Ajax and custom parameters - passing an array
Hi, I'm a noob with php, java, and so on.
I am trying to get data from several tables in my mysql server. Also, I want not to change or prepare several "server_processing.php" files, so I'm trying to use Custom HTTP variables.
As an example:
ajax: {
url: "server_processing.php",
data: {
"tabla": "sms",
"key": "id",
"columnas": "{'col1','col2','col3'}"
}
}
But my question is about: how could I pass an array to server_processing.php ?
I want to pass the table name, primary Key and columns to show. The number of columns to show is not fixed between tables, so I have to pass an array, haven't I ?
Best regards,

does not work ?
Hi mauriciosouza,
Thanks a lot for your comment. In my humble opinion I think that the first one is not what I am asking for, the second one is like a struct, isn't it ?
I need to pass a variable length array. I mean, one time I will request two columns from a table, and in another part of my web page, I will request four columns from another table.
I can pass the table name as a parameter, but I DON'T KNOW how to pass the names of the columns.
I could use the table name with a switch case to know what columns I need, but sometimes I also need to retrieve diferents columns from same table. I also think that will be better to pass columns as a parameter rather than use a switch case.
I don't know if you understand me. My english an knowledge of php and javascript is very poor.
I hope your answer,
best regards,
Anybody ?
