I need for html file/ ajax code to take the
JSON message and store the PATHS as a javaScript array. Then my buildImage function can display the first image in the array. I'm new to AJAX and believe my misunderstanding lies within the converting of the
JSON to Javascript. I'm confused also about if my code creates a
JSON array or object or either. I might need also to download a library to my app to understand JSON?
Below is a PHP file loading the paths of the images. I believe
json ecode is converting the PHP Array in a
Json message.
<?php
include("mysqlconnect.php");
$select_query = "SELECT `ImagesPath` FROM `offerstbl` ORDER by `ImagesId` DESC";
$sql = mysql_query($select_query) or die(mysql_error());
$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql,MYSQL_BOTH)){
$data[] = $row['ImagesPath'];
}
echo $images = json_encode($data);
?>
Below is the script in is going to be loaded on an Cordova app.
