Question

I am trying to send 2 variables in a JQuery Ajax call, but for some reason, both variables end up bundled in the first one:

function getNextQuestion(answer, queryType)
{    
    $.ajax
    ({
        async: false,
        url: 'handlers/question_hdlr.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: "answer="+ answer +"&queryType=" + queryType,
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(result)
        {
           ...
        },error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)
        {
           alert ("error: "+textStatus);
        }
    });
    return false;
}

When I run it in the debugger, I get only one variable:

$_POST["answer"], containing "answerqueryTypequeryType"

$_POST["queryType"] does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Just found out that there is nothing wrong in the code in the question, the only problem was that the Javascript file cached by the browser contained a typo and even though the problem was fixed on the working copy, the browser was never actually running it.

The solution was to add the date & time to the script url as a parameter to prevent the browser from using the cached version:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?= $pathRoot ?>js/commline.js?<?= date(U);?>" />

This works fine.
