AJAX - How To Retrieve JSON Response from PHP script

Image
By
Hello Friends, This is my first tutorial post.

Today I'll explain you how to retrieve JSON response via Ajax call.

First we build a PHP script to send response in JSON format, then we will gather this response from an Ajax call through jQuery script.

Let’s first create a PHP script 

Create a PHP script, I’ll name it as “json_response.php”
And add following code in it

json_response.php

<?php

 //set header for JSON response
header("Content-Type: application/json");

 //render array in JSON format
echo json_encode(array('status' => 200, 'message' => 'Response from PHP script in JSON format.'));

This is a basic example to send JSON response.
PHP script will send response with status code and message.

Now create a HTML file to fetch JSON response and add it in header tag.

Create a HTML file, I’ll name it as “json_response.html”
And add following code.

 json_response.html

<html>                                                                                                            
    <head> 
                                                                                                                           <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>                  
        <script type="text/javascript">                                                                                
            $('document').ready(function() {                                                                          
      //create ajax call to fetch json response                                                            
                $.ajax({                                                                                                                          url: 'json_header.php',                                                                                
                    type: 'GET',                                                                                               
                    dataType: 'JSON', // it is necessary to get JSON response                                                                                                         
                    success: function(response) {                                                                      
                       // if reponse status is success                                                                  
                        if (response.status == 200) {                                                            
       // add message to header tag                                                    
                            $('#message').html(response.message);                                    
                        }                                                                                             
                    }                                                                                                 
                });                                                                                                   
            });                                                                                                       
        </script>                                                                                                   
    </head>                                                                                                        
    <body>                                                                                                         
        <h1 id="message"></h1>                                                                             
    </body>                                                                                                         
</html>  
                                                                                                       
Note: It is very important to add ajax request parameter  dataType: 'JSON' to fetch response in JSON format.

After running HTML file in browser you see the header tag has message as

“Response from PHP script in JSON format.”

Preload Image is technique which helps browser to render images with minimum delay. Today we will see example of image gallery. Gallery contain 5 images which load images one after another whenever user clicks next and back button. This is a basic image gallery scenario which is used in all possible website, then why we need preloaded images for this gallery? Now a day’s most of website becoming faster and user expectation is increasing. Suppose your website doesn’t use preload image technique for gallery and a user visits any image gallery from Google Plus or Facebook and visits your website gallery. Then that user always prefer those websites rather than yours. Why? Because your website load one image at a time. When user click on next button, then only gallery load image and user has wait till it get loaded. To avoid this situation gallery needs to download all images

Spring Boot RestTemplate Guide with Example

CSS: How To Create Custom Scrollbar For Webkit Supported Browsers

By
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a custom scroll bar using custom CSS styles. Custom scrollbars are becoming increasingly popular, and I'm excited to learn more about them. A scrollbar can be customised for a variety of reasons. The default scrollbar, for example, can make an app's UI look inconsistent across various versions of windows, thus we can benefit from having a single style here. This tutorial will help to create a custom scrollbar. Let's see how One of the most interesting aspects of these scrollbars is that they may be rendered in a variety of styles for different HTML elements on the same webpage. We will see the implementation of such a scrollbar for Webkit-supported browsers. First we will look at the basic CSS properties of the scrollbar. ::-webkit-scrollbar              ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb        ::-webkit-scrollbar-track        ::-webkit-scrollbar-button       ::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece  ::-webkit-scrollbar-cor
