Ajax Post to PHP File XMLHttpRequest Object Return Data Tutorial

]

If I calculate something in PHP...and create array in PHP , how can I pass the value in this JS function/ajax_post()/ what is in the example?

What I have tried:

PHP
my_parse_file.php
<?php 
echo 'Thank you '. $_POST['firstname'] . ' ' . $_POST['lastname'] . ', says the PHP file';
?>


example.html
<html>
<head>
<script>
function ajax_post(){
    // Create our XMLHttpRequest object
    var hr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    // Create some variables we need to send to our PHP file
    var url = "my_parse_file.php";
    var fn = document.getElementById("first_name").value;
    var ln = document.getElementById("last_name").value;
    var vars = "firstname="+fn+"&lastname="+ln;
    hr.open("POST", url, true);
    // Set content type header information for sending url encoded variables in the request
    hr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    // Access the onreadystatechange event for the XMLHttpRequest object
    hr.onreadystatechange = function() {
	    if(hr.readyState == 4 && hr.status == 200) {
		    var return_data = hr.responseText;
			document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = return_data;
	    }
    }
    // Send the data to PHP now... and wait for response to update the status div
    hr.send(vars); // Actually execute the request
    document.getElementById("status").innerHTML = "processing...";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

Where is the issue? Did you debug?

You can do like
PHP
var data = <?php echo json_encode("42", JSON_HEX_TAG); ?>;

It's hard to understand from your code, where exactly you are trying to access the value from your php code.

There are few other ways available to do this. I would strongly recommend to read following thread in StackOverflow before you go ahead to do the changes in your code.
How to pass variables and data from PHP to JavaScript? - Stack Overflow[^]

Please let me know if your requirement is something else than this.
Hope, it helps :)
