发布变量未通过

Question

Any idea why this doesn't work? I have tried to see if the button clicked actually works with alerts, had alerts as well as before and after the ajax code and they both worked.

var selectedCheckboxes = "12421";

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
                $(".editArticle").on("click",function(){
                    $.ajax({
                        url: "test.php",
                        type: "POST",
                        data: { selectedCheckboxes: "selectedCheckboxes" },
                        success: function(response){
                              //do action  
                        },
                        error: function(){
                              // do action
                        }
                    });
                });
            });

the link:

 <a href="test.php" class="editArticle">Edit</a>

test.php

<?php
echo $_POST["selectedCheckboxes"];
?>

You try to pass a variable selectedCheckboxes but unfortunately with double ("") quotes you passing a string as selectedCheckboxes

Use below code

var selectedCheckboxes = "12421";

var dataObject = {};
data[selectedCheckboxes] = 1;
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
                $(".editArticle").on("click",function(){
                    $.ajax({
                        url: "test.php",
                        type: "POST",
                        data: dataObject ,
                        success: function(response){
                              //do action  
                        },
                        error: function(){
                              // do action
                        }
                    });
                });
            });

Hope this helps...
