$("select#product-id").change(function(){
    $("input#product-name").val("Loading...");
    var value = $(this).val();
    $.ajax({
        url: "http://localhost/api/purchase-entry-data.php",
        data: {
            product_id : value
        },
        type: "POST",
        success: function(data){
            $("input#product-name").val(data);
        },
        error: function (){
            $("input#product-name").val("No Data Available");
        }
    });
});

I am tring to use ajax result in two places (there is two value in the ajax result 1. Product Name, 2. Product Size).
So how to split up that that result in two different values in php.

• What do you mean by 2 values in ajax result? – void Commented Feb 9, 2017 at 19:52
• What does the data look like when it is returned from your AJAX? – WillardSolutions Commented Feb 9, 2017 at 19:52
• It is something like this var product = {desc:"Android ", size:"5.5"} Thanks – Hello World Commented Feb 10, 2017 at 18:31

This depends how you are returning the data back to ajax. There are several ways you can do this.

Using split

In your purchase-entry-data.php file you could return data with a separator then use split to get both values. Just make sure you use a separator that will not be contained in the data returned. Here I used a pipe

echo "productDesc|productSize";

Then in jquery you can split it up and access each element in the array

var result= $(data).text().split('|');
var productDesc = result[0];
var productSize = result[1];

Using JSON

In your php file return the data in an array and JSON

<?php
$arr = array('productDesc' => 'Description', 'productSize' => 'Size');
echo json_encode($arr);
?>

Then in jquery access it like

data = $.parseJSON(data);
