Question

I am using this function:

function end_incident() {
    var dataString = 'name=Daniel&phone=01234123456';
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "http://www.example.co.uk/erc/end_incident.php",
        data: dataString,
        success: function(msg){ 
            alert('Success!'+dataString);
        }
    });
};

to send information to end_incident.php, but I’m not able to access the $_POST variables. I’ve tried doing it like this:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help

Try sending the data as an object:

function end_incident() {
    $.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       url: "http://www.example.co.uk/erc/end_incident.php",
       data: { name: "Daniel", phone: "01234123456" },
       success: function(msg){ 
            alert('Success!');
       }
    });
};
