POST does not arrive on the server

Chris4712

Hello together!

I create my data on the server and return a JSON array (iPad_infos.php). This works!
Now when I want to send input fields of a form to my iPad_infos.php file, I do it like this:

    "ajax": {
      "url": "/modules/ipads/_functions/iPad_infos.php",
      "type"   : "POST",
      "data"   : function ( d ) {
        return $('#FilterForm').serialize();
      },
      "dataType": "json",
      "dataSrc": "",
      "cache": false,
      "contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
    },

In the Firefox console I can also see "Type=WiFi&Owner=true" on request. So far good.

But when I want to read the value of Type or Owner in my iPad_infos.php with $_POST["Type"] or $_POST["Owner"], the variables are not there!

When I call the iPad_infos.php from another AJAX request, I can read the passed values without problems.

Where is my error?

Greetings!

You could try adding both those values separately, like one of the first two examples on ajax.data. Could you try that please, and see if any success,

Hey Colin!

I have tried this:

        "ajax": {
          "url": "/modules/ipads/_functions/iPad_infos.php",
          "type"   : "POST",
          "data": {
            "user_id": 451
        },
          "dataType": "json",
          "dataSrc": "",
          "cache": false,
          "contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8"
        },

(i.e. as in the example).

According to the Firefox Web Console, this is also transmitted (request content "user_id=451").

in my ipad_infos.php I have the following:

        echo "Value POST: ";
        echo $_POST["user_id"];
        echo "<br>";
        echo "Value GET: ";
        echo $_GET["user_id"];
        echo "<br>";
        var_dump($_POST);
        echo "<br>";
        var_dump($Request);
        echo "<br>";

And get as response:
Value POST:
GET value:
array(0) { }
NULL

I just don't understand it!

I made it work!!!

 `"contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8"`

Was the error. After I took it out of the JS it worked!
