I have this php script:

<?php
$arr = array(array("a","b"),array("c","d"));
qq($arr);
function qq($arr){
foreach($arr as $ar => $r){
//getting some work done
//sending the array $r (or values)to javascript
}
}
?>

Is it possible to get the value of 0 array using javascript before array 1.

what i get so far is this js from stackoverflow:

<script type="text/javascript">
function q(){

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://127.0.0.0.1/q.php");
xmlhttp.send(null);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = callbackFunction;

function callbackFunction(){
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4){
xml = xmlhttp.responseText;
document.getElementById("q").value = xml;
}}}
</script>

but it's not doing what i want(i think i'm missing something).

my html:

<input type="submit" onclick="q();" />
<div id="q"></div>
<div id="q1"></div>

Is it possible to put array 0 value in div(id=q) and when array 1 is ready put it's value in div(id=q1)

    what value you are getting in xml ? Commented May 10, 2014 at 14:36
  • I'm getting a string of numbers that i need to process but it's taking too much time, so i'm thinking of a way to print one set of array before 2nd array is created. (Oh that xml variable is not related to XML) Commented May 10, 2014 at 14:40
  • Is it not possible to send two requests? Either simultaneously or trigger the second on completion of the first? Commented May 10, 2014 at 22:04
  • That requires me to create lots of functions for similar tasks, but i think it can be done via long polling. Commented May 11, 2014 at 10:28

The "normal" HTTP Requests via XMLHttpRequest() do not allow such behaviour in a single request.

You have the following options instead:

Server Send Events

upside

  • They are incredibly easy to build. Nothing really special is needed on the server. Just google for server sent events and you'll find some examples on how they work.
  • They go through proxys and firewalls just as well as any other http request, because it is a normal http request.

downside

  • Does not run on Internet Explorer (?)
  • May fail to update in realtime if a proxy somewhere buffers too much. However in this case it still works, it just misses the realtime communication

Websockets

upside

Works in all recent browsers. Enables you to do full duplex communication and gets everything right that you need.

downside

  • May or may not work through proxies depending on their configuration.
  • Special extensions are needed on the server

(Long-) polling

upside

  • Best compatibility (works even in older browsers, no issues with proxies or firewalls)

downside

  • Creates lots of overhead because it does create for each message a new http connection
  • You need to store intermediate results somewhere because the poll requests come in different threads to your application than your code generation mechanism.

can you try with

if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4){
  xml = xmlhttp.responseText;
  document.getElementById('q').innerHTML=xml;
}}}
