使用jQuery和$ .ajax将变量传递给PHP

Question

I have a jQuery php script which accesses a database and echoes back html to fill a div on my page. It uses the following code.

function myCall() {
    var request = $.ajax({
        url: "ajax.php",
        type: "GET",
        dataType: "html"
    });

    request.done(function (msg) {
        $("#divholder").html(msg);
    });

    request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
        alert("Request failed: " + textStatus);
    });
}

What I need to do is also send a variable through to the script so it knows what to look for in the database. I have been searching but I can't seem to find quite the right answer. Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards.

You can send the parameter like this :

function myCall() {
    var request = $.ajax({
        url: "ajax.php?param1=" + 'parameter',
        type: "GET",            
        dataType: "html"
    });

    request.done(function(msg) {
        $("#divholder").html(msg);          
    });

    request.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus) {
        alert( "Request failed: " + textStatus );
    });
}

And get the parameter with $_GET

Or you can send the parameter with POST (look at data : Ajax jQuery)
