"get\_ing\_id" gets a string, looks to the database and retrieve relevant id data according to the string. At this example, it needs to retrieve '65' and '66' which it does successfully when the code is executed. 

```
var ings = [];
var ingsSearch = [];
var i = 2;
var k = 0;
ings[0] = 'apple';
ings[1] = 'banana';

    function next(){
        for(j=0;j<i;j++){
            if(ings[j] != 0){           
                $.ajax({
                    url: burl+'index.php/ajax/get_ing_id',
                    type: 'POST',   
                    data: 'name='+ings[j],
                    success: function(data){    
                        ingsSearch[k] = data;
                        alert(ingsSearch[k]);
                        k++;
                        alert(k);
                    }
                });                     
            }

        }   
    alert(ingsSearch[0]);
    alert(ingsSearch[1]);

    }

```

When the code is executed, I get alert boxes in order:

* 66
* 1
* 65
* 2
* undefined
* undefined

It supposed to be like this

* 66
* 1
* 65
* 2
* 66
* 65

So where am I doing wrong? I'm not very experienced with javascript, I'll be grateful if I get any help. Thanks for your time!
