发送数据ajax php

Question

Trying to send a variable with ajax to php.

The js:

var test1 = "test"
$.ajax({
    type : "POST",
    url : "getid.php",
    data:  {test1 : test1},
    success: function() {
         console.log("message sent!");
    }
}); 

"message sent!" comes up in the console

The php:

<?php 
$test1 = $_POST['test1'];
echo $test1; 
?> 

Error message:

Notice: Undefined index: test1...

I don't really see what i have done wrong here... Any ideas?

UPDATE* when doing `

$.ajax({    
        type : "POST",
        url : "getid.php",
        data:  {"test1" : test1},
        success: function(msg) {
            console.log("message sent!");
            console.log(msg);
        }
}); 

This logs "test"

Still getting the same error in the php though..

Alter you jQuery code:

var test1 = "test"
$.ajax({
    type : "post",
    url : "getid.php",
    data:  {"test1" : test1}, // this is the row that was causing the problem
    success: function(msg) {
         console.log(msg);
    }
}); 

You had to put test1 in quotes because it was a defined variable containing "test" which resulted in data being {"test":"test"}
