[RESOLVED] form handler for ajax

[jrough]

I don't know how to debug a php form handler for an AJAX callback? You should be able to plug in test input for the form variables on this page so you I can insure the bug is in AJAX not here. Something isn't firing it could be either jquery or PHP. I want the $ary associative array of form variables to be the returned to the Jquery AJAX call. My question is how to echo the $ary associative array response (see asterisks) so Jquery gets the jqXHR response? I get a 500 Server error on this page.Thanks,

session_start();
$ary = array();
if($_POST['submit']) {
  		foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){ 
			$ary[$key] = $value };
   }
var_dump($ary)  ;        

$ary = json_encode($ary) ;   ********

  }

For one, what's the point of having $ary at all? Why not just use $POST? Even if you had some reason for duplicating the information (e.g. code you haven't shown us), you could still reduce this:

$ary = array(); 
if($_POST['submit']) { 
          foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){ 
            $ary[$key] = $value }; 
   } 

down to this:

 
if($_POST['submit']) { 
          $ary = $_POST;

Next, I'm not sure what your question is. You echo the JSON encoded string by... well, by [man]echo[/man]'ing (or [man]print[/man]'ing) it.
