指定为POST的jQuery AJAX调用被识别为GET

Question

I have an jQuery AJAX call like so:

var ajaxStuff = $.ajax({
    type : 'POST',
    url : customURL,
    data : {
        myData : 'myData'
    },
    dataType : 'json',
    async : false
}).responseText;
console.log(ajaxStuff);

However, in the PHP when I ask what request method I'm using:

echo ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]);

It returns:

GET

Why can't my AJAX call be recognized as a POST?

Thanks!

The parameter name of the method is method, not type:

var ajaxStuff = $.ajax({
    method: 'POST',  ////// not "type"
    url : customURL,
    data : {
        myData : 'myData'
    },
    dataType : 'json',
    async : false
}).responseText;
console.log(ajaxStuff);

$.ajax() defaults to GET when no method is specified, or when the parameter is named incorrectly.
