div value to jquery or php variable

[spy100]

In my js file i have this:

var updateInterval = setInterval(function() {
 $('#thealert').load('alertprice.php');
},1*1000);

In my php file i SELECT the latest price from MYSQL database for example 453.33

In html it shows at time 14:00:01 :

<div id="thealert">453.33</div>

Then at time 14:00:02 :

<div id="thealert">463.33</div>

How do i get the updated value in a jquery or php variable so i can use it for an alert script ?

I want always to have in variable:

$latestprice = "463.33";

Or what ever latest price is at current time.

I want to store the updated value inside the div in a php variable or jquery or javascript variable to be used by other scripts ,if div value changes then $latestprice should change also.

Update:$latestprice needs to go in here:

   <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){



    $( "#myHigh" ).keyup(function(e) {

    var key = e.which || e.keyCode;

    if ( key == {}else{


    nHigh = $( "#myHigh" ).val();
    $('#myHigh').append(nHigh);

    if (nHigh <= <?php echo $latestprice; ?> ) {
    document.getElementById('play').play();
    }else
    {
    document.getElementById('play').pause();
                return false;
    }}
    });


    $( "#myLow" ).keyup(function() {
    nLow = $( "#myLow" ).val();
    if (nLow >= <?php echo $latestprice; ?>

) {
    document.getElementById('play').play();
    }else
    {
    document.getElementById('play').pause();
    }
    })


    $( '#cleara' ).click(function() {
            $('input:text').val('');
        });






    });
    </script>

Not quite sure I follow...

If you have the number in php, you can send it to javascript like this:

Code:

<script>
var latestPrice = <?php echo $latestPrice; ?>;
</script>

But, this would only run when the page first loads... if you are updating via $.ajax() or curl(), I would send a callback function to update the variable with the response data



If you are trying to update a div using jquery, I use something like:

Code:

$('#latestPrice').change(function() {
  $("#latestPriceDisplay").html($(this).val());
});

Problem is that my div or variable is updating when price changes  and when you do this

var latestPrice = <?php echo $latestPrice; ?>;

you will not get updated price until page refresh.I want the variable to update with price change without refresh

Not sure if this will help but this is how I get a changing php value into javascript.

Code:

<script>
function latestprice() {
	var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
		if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {						
			document.getElementById("thealert").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
		}
	}; 
xhttp.open("GET", "alertprice.php?random=" + Math.random(), true); // random for IE
xhttp.send();

setTimeout(latestprice, 2500);
  
}
latestprice();
</script>
	
		
<div id="thealert">453.33</div>

	
<?php // alertprice.php

	$result= mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT price FROM latestprice");
		while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){ 
			$latest_price = $row['price'];
		}

echo $latest_price;



?>	

And to get the div back into javascript

Code:

latestPrice = document.getElementById("thealert").innerHTML;

or

latestPrice = xhttp.responseText;

It looks like you've got pretty much what you need already however you are directly placing you're update into the div with jQuery instead of saving it.

Change

Code:

var updateInterval = setInterval(function() {
 $('#thealert').load('alertprice.php');
},1*1000);

To something like

Code:

var alertPriceVariable;
var updateInterval = setInterval(function() {
$.get( "alertprice.php")
  .done(function( data ) {
    alertPriceVariable = data;
   $('#thealert').text(alertPriceVariable);
  });
},1*1000);
