I have a javascript file that I want to send data from. I tried using $.ajax and $.post but neither seem to be sending the data to my index.php file.
script.js
$.post( "index.php", { over: 'yes' } ).done(function( data ) { alert("success"); });
//AND
$.ajax({
url: "index.php",
type: "POST",
data: {over: "yes"},
success: function(data){ alert("success"); },
});
Both methods receive the success message but neither are echo'ed in my index.php file
echo $_POST['over'];
What am I doing wrong? Thank you
