I am trying to pass a var from jQuery to PHP.
After researching I found the most common suggestion was to do this with Post with Ajax and store the post var using PHP.
My PHP skills are pretty good but I can't say the same about my JavaScript skills.
This is what I am doing but does not seem to work at all:
// jquery libray included etc etc
<script>
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://currentpage.com",
data: "var=value",
dataType: string
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if($_REQUEST["var"] == "value") {
echo "var passed and stored";
}
?>
