I’m trying to send variables to the same page that makes the AJAX call.
I receive successful result only if I separate the PHP script (e.g. process.php and change the AJAX url accordingly).
index.php
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$('form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'index.php',
data : $(this).serialize(),
dataType : 'json',
encode : true
})
.done(function(data) {
$('#result').html(data);
})
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$data = array();
if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
$data = 'You entered: ' . $_POST['name'];
echo json_encode($data);
}
?>
<form>
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<div id="result"></div>
</body>
Is it possible for the same page to capture and process variables we pass using AJAX?

You set dataType : json in AJAX settings, so that you should echo a json object instead of a String (HTML).
Use exit() instead of echo, and put your PHP at the very top of the page. So that no HTML is echoed before you check if $_POST['name'] exists.
Another thing is that your $data = array() is converted to string on that line:
$data = 'You entered:' . $_POST['name'];
it should be $data[] = ...
<?php
$data = array();
if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
$data[] = 'You entered:' . $_POST['name'];
exit(json_encode($data));
}
?>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$('form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'index.php',
data : $(this).serialize(),
dataType : 'json',
encode : true
})
.done(function(data) {
$('#result').html(data);
})
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<div id="result"></div>
</body>
