在php文件中检索jquery帖子

Question

I have been searching for hours for this and still cant seem to find the solution. I am trying to use jquery to send a javascript variable to a php form

in one file.. index.php I have the following line:

$.post("test.php", { name: "John", time: "2pm" } );

in test.php, I have

$h = $_POST['name'];
print $h;

but nothing is printed. Sorry if this is a repetitive question. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You aren't doing anything with the data that is being returned by the server, you need to access the callback and use the data that is being printed.

$.post("test.php", { name: "John", time: "2pm" }, function(data){
    //data is what you send back from the server, in this scenario, the $h variable.
    alert(data); 
});
