Show results from a php app using ajax

Show results from a php app using ajax

Is there a way to display the results from a php app using an ajax call.
 PHP
  1. <?php require_once('related.php') ?>

    <?php

    $resp = simplexml_load_file($apicall);
     
    if ($resp->ack == "Success") {
        $results = '';
          
    foreach($resp->searchResult->item as $item) {

            $pic   = $item->pictureURLLarge;
            $link  = $item->viewItemURL;
            $title = $item->title;
            $price = $item->sellingStatus->convertedCurrentPrice;
     
           
            $results .= "<figure class='relative r_image_container c_image_container qv_container'><div class='relative m_bottom_15'><div><img class='c_image_1 tr_all' alt='' src=\"$pic\"'></div></div>
                        <figcaption class='t_align_c'><ul><li><a href='$link' class='second_font   sc_hover'>$title</a></li><li class='m_bottom_7'><b class='color_light sc_hover fw_light d_inline'>$price</b></li></ul></figcaption></figure>";
           
          
        }
    }

    else {
        $results  = "<h3>Oops! The request was not successful.";
    }
    ?>
    <?php echo $results?>

Here is my attempt but im stuck as to what to put in the data field.

  1. <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>ajax php test</title>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

         
           $(document).ready(function() {
                $.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: 'getitemsineBaystores.php',
                    data: data,
                    dataType : 'json',
                    success: function (data){
                          $('#myresults').html(data);
                          alert("Successful");
                    }
                });
            });
           
    </script>
    </head>


    <body>
    <div id="myresults"></div>
    </body>
    </html>

Can anyone help me with this.
