I am trying to send a post request to PHP with Ajax. But, I never get the data with $_POST command. I am wondering what is going on. The code i used is below: .html -------------------------------- HTML: <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <SCRIPT> function postForm() { var xmlHttp; try { // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e) { // Internet Explorer try { xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try { xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { alert("ERROR: CAN NOT POST DATA"); } } } try { xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if(xmlHttp.readyState==4) { alert(xmlHttp.responseText); } } xmlHttp.open("POST","temp2.php",true); postStr = "name="+escape(myForm.name.value); alert("SENDING: "+postStr); xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application-x-www-form-urlencoded"); xmlHttp.send(postStr); } catch(e) { alert("ERROR POSTING DATA"); } } </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <FORM METHOD="post" NAME="myForm" onsubmit="postForm()"> <INPUT NAME="name" TYPE="text"><BR> <INPUT NAME="pass" TYPE="text"><BR> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="login"> </FORM> </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------ THen i try to get the data by: <? echo "NAME: ".$_POST['name']."<BR>\n"; echo "NAME: ".$_GET['name']."<BR>\n"; echo "NAME: ".$_REQUST['name']."<BR>"; ?> None of the methods ($_POST,$_GET,or REQUEST) get the data. What am i doing wrong???
Practically there is no need to set the request header, and if you set it should look like this Code: xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
