[jQuery] Getting PHP values remotley
Hello, I was wondering how to get a value from a php file after I send
data to it using the $.ajax() method. Here's my code.
jQuery:
var path = $(this);
var addtask = $('.inputtask').val();
$.ajax({
url: 'todolistadd.php',
data: 'addtask= ' + addtask,
success: function() {
// Stuff
}
});
PHP:
$addtask = $_POST['addtask'];
$q = "INSERT INTO task (tasks) VALUES ('$addtask')";
$ans = mysql_query($q);
$q = "SELECT task_id FROM task WHERE tasks = '$addtask' LIMIT 1";
$newid = mysql_query($q);
What I want from the php file is the $newid value to use in the
previous script, any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
