I am passing some datas to a file where i want to be stored to an array, but the array starts from empty each time i am passing datas, any advice?

Question

So i got 3 files: 1) test.php is the main page that is passing the datas to anotherTest.php;

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#button").click(function(){

  var server = $("#server").val();
  var username = $("#username").val();
  var password = $("#password").val();

  var dataString= 'server=' + server + '&username=' + username + '&password=' + password;
   if(server == '' || username == '')
   {
     alert("Please Complete All Fields Correctly");
   }else {
     $.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: "anotherTest.php",
     data: dataString,
     cache: false,
     success: function(result){
       if(result==1)
       {
         alert("we couldn't form a connection");
       }else if(result==2){
         alert("The connection is already up");
       }else {
         $("#prepend").prepend(result);
       }

     }
     });

   }

   return false;
});
});
</script>

2)Class.php where i got my clases and function and the array declared;

$arr=array();

3)anotherTest.php where i want to test if i can make a connection, the connection is not already stored, and if so, to store the new connection in array;

$server = $_POST['server'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if (@mysqli_connect($server, $username, $password, "")==FALSE)
{
  echo "1";
}else if(array_key_exists($server.$username, $arr)){
  echo "2";
}else {
  $arr[$server.$username] = new Conn($server, $username, $password, "");
  echo "<button class=button>" . $arr[$server.$username]->toString() . "</button>";
}

Again my problem is that every time i am pressing the button that triggers all of that, the array from class.php start from empty. Any advice?

" the array from class.php start from empty" - *this is how PHP works*. There is not a single reason to hoard mysql connections into array. Just create a new connection, run your query and send the result back to the browser — Your Common Sense, May 03 '20 at 10:54
i know it starts from empty the idea is that it shoudn't start empty after i stored the first connection — GeorgeBusu, May 03 '20 at 11:23
@AnikAnwar i use toString() method because i created the class Conn and the method prints what i writed. — GeorgeBusu, May 03 '20 at 11:26
"it shoudn't start empty after i stored the first connection" - it SHOULD — Your Common Sense, May 03 '20 at 11:30

It's not easy to see how Class.php is being used here? It starts empty as that's how you define it. Are you trying to populate it with your data?

I'd massively recommend xdebug if you're just starting out, as you can step through each line of code and see what is happening :) took me about 13 years to do so, I've never looked back...

Thanks for offering a suggestion, but this may have been more appropriate as a comment because it does not fully answer the question. – Run_Script May 03 '20 at 14:10
