Question

Hey guys I am trying to receive the following

function sendUserfNotes() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: '/pcg/popups/grabnotes.php',
        data: {
            'nameNotes': notes_name.text(),
        },
        success: function () {
            alert(notes_name.text());
        }
    });
}

in the reciever end I have the following:

<?php 
    $test = $_GET['nameNotes'];
    echo $test;
?>

Nothing happens here though. It goes through but I am unable to get the value of the GET sent? I don’t know where its being sent is being opened by JQuery UI dialog box or not. Help needed.

In your success callback:

success: function () {
    alert(notes_name.text());
}

you are not retrieving the data from the request. From the jQuery documentation:

Type: Function( Object data, String textStatus, jqXHR jqXHR ) A
function to be called if the request succeeds. The function gets
passed three arguments: The data returned from the server, formatted
according to the dataType parameter; a string describing the status;

You should use:

success: function (data) {
    alert(data);
}
