I want to send data ing from a php function to my HTML page using AJAX, my function look like:

     function getFeed() {
        $url = '.xml?edition=int#';
        $content = file_get_contents($url);
        $data = simplexml_load_string($content);
        $articles= array();

        foreach( $data->channel->item as $item){

            $articles[]=array(
                'title'         =>  (string)$item->title,
                'description'   =>  (string)$item->description,
                'link'          =>  (string)$item->link,
                'Date'          =>  (string)$item->pubDate,
            );
        }

        foreach($articles as $article){
        echo json_encode($article['title']);
        }
    }

my javascript script look like:

$(function(){
    $.ajax({
        type:'GET',
        url: '/rss/core/inc/rssnews.inc.php',
        success: function (data){
        console.log('success',data);
        }
    });
});

Once I execute the code, I get a 'success' message in the console, but not the data. So, how can I get the JSON data in this case?

• javascript
• php
• jquery
• ajax

• are you sure that you are calling getFeed after defining it ? – hassan Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 12:49
• There's no need to encode every item. Just json_encode($articles) – u_mulder Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 12:49
• @HassanAhmed I don't call it, how should I do in my javascript script – Ha KiM's Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 12:51
• if you call "/rss/core/inc/rssnews.inc.php" in your browser, do you get the desired results ? – Dan Ionescu Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 12:52
• you can't , you have to call it from your -server side- , in another words from your php file – hassan Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 12:52

change script like this

$(function(){
    $.ajax({
        type:'GET',
        url: '/rss/core/inc/rssnews.inc.php?function=getFeed',
        success: function (data){
        console.log('success',data);
        }
    });
});

in your "rssnews.inc.php" file write this code

if(isset($_GET['function']) && $_GET['function'] !=''){
    $result = $_GET['function']();
    echo json_encode($result);
}
function getFeed() {
    $url = 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=int#';
    $content = file_get_contents($url);
    $data = simplexml_load_string($content);
    $articles= array();

    foreach( $data->channel->item as $item){

        $articles[]=array(
            'title'         =>  (string)$item->title,
            'description'   =>  (string)$item->description,
            'link'          =>  (string)$item->link,
            'Date'          =>  (string)$item->pubDate,
        );
    }

    $articalesArr = array();
    foreach($articles as $article){
        array_push($articalesArr, $article['title']);    
    }
    return $articalesArr;
}

If you want to see the all of JSON data from your method [getFeed], You can return the value instead of echoing it.

 function getFeed() {
    $url = 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=int#';
    $content = file_get_contents($url);
    $data = simplexml_load_string($content);
    $articles= array();

    foreach($data->channel->item as $item) {

        $articles[]=array(
            'title'         =>  (string)$item->title,
            'description'   =>  (string)$item->description,
            'link'          =>  (string)$item->link,
            'Date'          =>  (string)$item->pubDate,
        );
    }

    return json_encode($articles);
}

Then in your JS, You can use the $.parseJSON to see the results.

$.ajax({
    type:'GET',
    url: '/rss/core/inc/rssnews.inc.php',
    success: function (data) {
        var oJsonResponse = $.parseJSON(data);
        console.log(oJsonResponse);
    }
});

You would get the results like this:

Hope this helps for you

Your javascript function should be as below

$(function(){
    $.ajax({
        type:'GET',
        url: '/rss/core/inc/rssnews.inc.php',
        success: function (data){
            for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
                console.log(data[i].title);
             }
        }
    });
});
