I am attempting to update a database using ajax and PHP. Right now, i am just testing to see if my receiving PHP file is getting the POST data by echoing it, but all I get back is an 'undefined index' error.
Here's my sending code:
var content = $(".homeContent").html();
var dataString = "homepage|content|"+content;
//var
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: "Update.php",
data: "dataString="+dataString,
success: function (result) {
console.log(dataString);
}
});
and here is my receiving file (Update.php):
<?php
echo $_REQUEST['dataString'];
?>
Try this:
Ajax (JavaScript):
$.post( "Update.php", { dataString: "some String" } );
PHP:
<?php
echo $_POST['dataString'];
?>
