Question

I create a short example of POST

var p = {Name: obj.Name,  Age: obj.Age},
    str = JSON.stringify(p);

$.post("test.php", str, function (data) {
    alert("Post finished");
}).success(function () {
    alert("second success");
}).error(function() { 
    alert("error");
});

When I run above code, It throws an error message of 404 not found from test.php.

I created this file test.php in my project.

Why am I getting this error?

Answer 1

The first parameter in post method is the url that you would want to send the post data.

HTTP 404 means that url given is not found in the server.

Since there is no test.php that would receive your data, you will get this error.

You should create a test.php file that you accept your request.

Another thing is, you don’t need to stringify JSON object while sending it to the server, jquery handles this automatically. Just send the obj as post data.

var p = { Name : "John",  Age : 23};
$.post("test.php", p).done(function(data){   
     alert("Post finished");    
}).success(function() {
    alert("second success");
}).error(function() {
    alert("error");
});
