How to Pass Back Input Values from PHP Echo with Ajax
When developing web applications, passing data between the client-side code (like JavaScript) and server-side (like PHP) can often become a challenge. One common scenario you might encounter is using AJAX calls to submit form data and retrieve results without refreshing the page. If you're struggling with how to pass back input values from PHP Echo using AJAX, you're not alone. In this guide, we'll walk you through a clear solution to this problem.
Understanding the Problem
In your JavaScript code, you are attempting to retrieve product information and pass it back to the server using AJAX. However, you're encountering issues with successfully returning input values after using PHP's Echo function. It’s important to ensure that the data serialized and sent through your AJAX call properly matches the expected format on the server side.
Steps to Solve the Problem
Here are some clear steps you can follow to ensure your AJAX calls work as intended, and that input values are passed back correctly from PHP:
1. Assign an ID to Your Form
Start by giving an ID to your HTML form. This makes it easier to target and serialize its data with jQuery.

4. Ensure Proper Echo Statements in PHP
In your PHP script, after retrieving the data and processing it, make sure you are echoing back exactly what you need to update on the client-side. Here's a minimal excerpt for your reference:

5. Note the Response Target
Make sure the response from your PHP is being inserted into the correct container on the HTML page. In the AJAX call, you have $("# cart-item").html(data);. Ensure this selector exists in your HTML to display the returned content.
Conclusion
Ensuring that data flows correctly between the client and server is crucial for a smooth user experience in your web applications. By following these organized steps, you should now be able to effectively pass back input values from PHP Echo using AJAX.
