How to use PHP in Javascript

Question

This is the jquery that i'm using.

I need to use the returned data and store it in a db usin php.

'onComplete' : function(event, ID, fileObj, response, data) {
 alert('Your video has been uploaded. Thanks.');

Now inside this, i want to use the retuned fileOBJ and store it. How do i do that?

• Pekka: Please provide more context. Where is this callback being called from and after what kind of action?
• gen_Eric: You need to send the data via AJAX to a PHP script.

Answer 1

You could place an AJAX call inside of the function that submits the data to the php page.

'onComplete' : function(event, ID, fileObj, response, data) {
 alert('Your video has been uploaded. Thanks.');
 $.ajax({
 type: 'POST',
 url: 'your_php_page.php',
 data: fileOBJ,
 success: function(msg) {
 //do something
 },
 error: function(msg) {
 //handle error
 }
 });
}

Then you'd simply create a php page that would submit the posted data to your database.

This technique is usually referred to as "Ajax" these days. The scope of your question is too broad to answer here, I recommend you do some reading on it.
