How do I get the userid using AJAX

Hi,

I have read all the tutorial about AJAX in this site but I still can't figure this out.

I need to get the userid variable from a PHP page.

Here is what I am doing:

HERE is what I am getting

How can I only get the variable and not the whole page?

thanks,

You should show the PHP script because this is the place where you return data.

Basically you should have something like:

<?php 
$userId = "whatever value you want";
die($userId); 
?>
[/code:2kz1tacd]

Also you are sending an empty GET variable in your url "[b]?userid[/b]" part which is not needed. So cut your URL at the end and echo variable in PHP script and that's it.

Your solution works but the problem is that I don't have access to the PHP file. This is kind of an API, I just trying to get the userid from a PHP page using Construct2.

Is there another way to do that?

I'm guessing that you'll need to cut out unwanted parts..with tokenat,left,right or regex

e.g

set Text to.........tokenat(AJAX.LastData,0,"<")

will return only usersad64gfa6df4asd6f5454

Yes. It is a good idea but I need to single out the userid only. I am not sure where it is in the code. So I can't index it using the tokenat.

I guess there is no solution for that.

What if I use another PHP file to retrieve the userid and then pass it to Construct2?
