I have a function that includes an AJAX to send a JSON object retrieved from localStorage. For some reason, in my PHP script, it never shows anything in the $_POST variable, despite me being pretty sure the AJAX call goes through successfully. My code is as follows:
The javascript:
function processResults(){
var finalResults = localStorage.getItem('results');
finalResults = JSON.stringify(finalResults);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '../DB_add.php',
dataType: 'json',
data: {'answers': finalResults},
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
console.log('Success');
}
})
}
The php script:
if(isset($_POST['answers'])){
$obj = json_decode($_POST['answers']);
print_r ($obj);
}
Any help as to why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I've tried all of the options given so far, and nothing seems to be working. I'm at a total loss.
For those asking, the finalResult variable is structured as:
[{"answer":0,"elapsed_time":1378,"stimulus_id":"8","task_id":1},{"answer":1,"elapsed_time":157,"stimulus_id":"2","task_id":1},{"answer":1,"elapsed_time":169,"stimulus_id":"1","task_id":1}, etc....
