SOLVED!!!

turned out that wordpress automatically prepends ‘wp_ajax_’ onto the supplied action in order to find the action hook. i didn’t realise that and was specifying that myself resulting in wordpress looking for a non-existant action named ‘wp_ajax_wp_ajax_aprmctest;.
because it wasn;t finding the hook, it went onto the next line which was a die(‘0’); command, hence the mysterious resulting number zero!

small update. i did some playing around. making the ajax variable global solves one issue: it now runs the onCompletion() function and displays a success result.

the bigger problem is still present though – retrieving something from the server!

i’ve enabled the execute option, and i’m now using the second line in aprmc_test() rather than the first, but nothing happens… no message box like there should be…

if i print out this.response/self.responce with an alert() it just prints the number zero…

why is it doing that? ??

i’m completely new to ajax and wordpress plugin development so i’d really appreciate help on this

ok, heres the code: https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/629228
