Question

I have an array in PHP and I have an input field, I was wondering how to get my value in the input field into the array?

array(
"message"=>$_POST['test'],
"others"=>"blah"
)

<input type="text" id="putIntoArray" >
<a href="#" onclick="jqueryPOST(this.value);">Post</a>

function jqueryPOST(value){
  var message = $("#putIntoArray").val();
  //I dont know how to put this value into "message" array?
}

So with the Post link, it should take the input value into the array “message”, but not sure how to? would this also be the best way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

$.post('url_here',{ parameter:value, parameter:value, parameter:value});

like in your case – DEMO:

<input type="text" id="putIntoArray" >
<a href="#" id="post">Post</a>​

//attaching click handler
$('#post').on('click',function(){
    jqueryPOST();
});

function jqueryPOST() {

    var message = $("#putIntoArray").val();

    //the something you didn't know :)

    $.post('/echo/json/', {
        test: message            //<<<HERE's test!
    }, function() {

        //what you want to do after?
        alert('posted!');

    });
