Answer 1

You can't use json_encode() on a table row. Notice up near the top of your html/php, you're doing $row_students=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result_students) followed by $response=$row_students; and then at the bottom you're doing $response=json_encode($response);. See the documentation for json_encode(), which says that the argument value that you pass to json_endcode() can be any type except a resource.

It then links you to the appendix, where you can find out what counts as a resource. The response from mysqli_fetch_assoc() is indeed a resource. It can't be passed to json_encode().

Answer 2

You are outputting the data as html table before echoing your json response.

Your jquery is expecting json only.

To test the output of your script, simply visit the php script in a browser and add the id parameter
http://host/.../view.php?id=1

Overall I think you need to split your code into two files.

• One that delivers the javascript and interface.
• One that delivers the data (json)

lets call the html output file view.php and the data output file data.php

view.php will contain the javascript which will use data.php in the ajax call to get its json data.

data.php will contain the code to retrieve records from the database and output them as json.
