Question

I am sending this variable to other page, to make a validation.

However print_r($_POST); only show Array ().

Normally we use serialize, is sent the name attribute, but in this case only is sent the variable with the text. So something like $form = $_POST['data']; only works to

in firebug:

data="something"

but in my case i just send

something

code

 <?php $page = "someText"; ?>

JS

 default:
            $("#msg").fadeTo(200, 0.1, function() {
                $(this).html('success').fadeTo(900, 1);

                $.ajax({
                    url: "page_validation.php",
                    type: "post",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data:'<?php echo $page; ?>',          
                    success: function(data) {
                        $('#one').load('page.php');
                        }
                });
            });
            break;

try it like

$page = "someText";

 $.ajax({
   url: "page_validation.php",
   type: "post",
   dataType: "json",
   data:"postedvariable=<?php echo $page; ?>",       
   success: function(data) {
            $('#one').load('page.php'); 
   }
 });

and acces the varible in page_validation.php as $_POST[‘postedvariable’]

also another option will be to use

$.post("page_validation.php",
{postedvariable:'<?php echo $page; ?>'},
function(data) {
  $('#one').load('page.php');
 });

whic looks even simpler than the $.ajax
