I am trying to find out what parameters I can pass to a jQuery ajax call.

What I am used to is writing something like:

$.ajax({
....
success: function(response) {
// put callback here
}
....
});

So here is my question:

Obviously the "response" variable I put in the success function just takes back whatever the server sends back from the ajax call. Is there any possible way to send multiple variables back? Something like:

...
success: function(response,httpStatus,whateverElse) {
}
...

Or, is there some other way to get the http response codes?

Thanks to whoever can answer this!

You can get the response's status code on the success' third parameter or plete's first parameter, something like this:

$.ajax({
  success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
    console.log(xhr.status);
  },
  plete: function(xhr, textStatus) {
    console.log(xhr.status);
  } 
});

Further to @Kokizzu you can check the jQuery API site to see what parameters are passed to the other functions http://api.jquery./jquery.ajax/.

Also another way that I find handy to work out what parameters are being passed when there are no docs available is:

success: function() {
 console.log(arguments);
}

That will log to the console all of the arguments that were passed to that function when it was called.

You can also have the server send back json json_encode in php:

Php:

$array['status'] = 0;
$array['foo'] = 'bar';

json_encode($array);

Ajax:

$.ajax({
    ...
    success: function (data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

Then obviously you could have your callback handle those variables.

$.ajax({
  success: function(data, status, xhttp) {
    console.log(status + ": " + data);
  },
  error: function(data, status, xhttp) {
    console.log(status + ": " + data);
  }
});
