How to redirect a json response from one php page to another?

The scenario is as follows: There are two php pages named page1.php and page2.php.onClick of a button in page3.php a ajax request is sent to page1.php. I have to redirect this request to page2.php where the processing takes places. Now I need to get the processed data in page1.php and convert it to json and send the json response to pa开发者_运维知识库ge3.php. So page1.php acts like an intermediate page for the communication between page3.php and page2.php.

If I use header("Location:page2.php") in page1.php then I cannot get the processed data from page2.php.(As I need the processed data in page1.php) Please suggest how this can be done?

Can you not just require page2.php?

What I mean is:

page3.php  ->  AJAX request to page1.php
page1.php  ->  $request = json_decode(AJAX request from page3.php)
               require page2.php
page2.php  ->  process $request
               populate $response
page1.php  ->  echo json_encode($response)
page3.php  ->  AJAX response from page1.php

on page2.php write echo json_enode($return_data)

and retrieve on page3.php by json_decode($output,true); and store into $_SESSION variable and

on page3.php retrieve data by $_SESSION['']

Reference:

json_encode

json_decode

I am not sure that you can redirect an ajax request like that. Please show me otherwise if someone knows though. From what I know about these things, it sounds to me like you are using a bad way to do this.

I would suggest this as an example:

• Create a class to handle your processing. The reason why, is because you may use the same thing more than once and you do not have to duplicate the code then.

• You can then on page 1, require this class file like this require_once('path/to.file');

• So next, the function or piece of script that handles your ajax request on page 1 you can create a new instance of your processing class and pass the data to it. Do the processing and return the data.

Get where I am going with this? No need to redirect, just contain your processing in an object.

Here is an example

$processing = new Processing($_POST);
$return_data = $processing->run();

return json_encode($return_data);
