Question

I have a review PAGE with a TEXTFIELD.
User need to be able to write LONG STORY (1000 words+) may contain chars like ()*&^%$#@\/<>

Once “save” is pressed I want to use Jquery GET -> to process content with PHP file.
(save in mysql database)

and return result.

let’s say I want to display "alert(words_were_saved:int)"

How can I pass through long, complex parameters to and from Jquery _POST, _GET without causing JS / HTTP errors ?

Answer 1

Try these:

using get:

var text = $('#textfield').val();
$.get('someurl.php",{data: text},function(result){
    alert(result);
}

Or using post(this should better than get when large data is submitted):

var text = $('#textfield').val();
$.post('someurl.php",{data: text},function(result){
    alert(result);
}

someurl.php:

$data = $_REQUEST['data'];
//do what you want to the data
//print some thing
echo 'saved';//this text will be alerted on get callback
