ajax问题：未定义索引，我应该怎么做？

Question

i'm trying to learn ajax for a new project, i need to upload data using some javascripts variables, so in order to start , i decided to try a small easy ajax problem , but i didnt work,

Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\Apache24\htdocs\d.php on line 4 is shown

My .js file :

<script>

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: 'd.php',
    data: {name : "aa"},
    success: function(output) {
        alert(output);
    }
    error: function(request, status, error){
            alert("Error: Could not delete");
    }
);
        </script>

My php file:

<?php

print_r($_POST['name']);

?>

Thank you

It doesn't work like that, you're never gonna see what went on behind the hood, the only way out is to log the request in txt file.

Your variable would only be defined when ajax send the POST request, to see if it is successful, edit your code like this:

<?php
  //if post is set
  if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
     //open log.txt
      $file = fopen('log.txt', 'a'); 
     //ensure print_r give a return
       fwrite($file, print_r($_POST, true);
     //close log.txt
       fclose($file); 
   }
?>

Ensure you create a file log.txt

After doing this send the ajax request and view the $_POST variables in log.txt
