Question

I have JSON data called rowdata that I use in an ajax call. If I use:

JSON.stringify(rowdata)

it looks like like the following:

{"Description":"qwerty","Code":"12345","Size":"11","Colour":"green"}

I do send it to php and use a GET statement (Joomla’s

JRequest::getVar("Description",  "", "", "")

statement) to get the elements of rowdata but I cannot succeed.

If I look at the ajax data that has been send I do have the following:

rowdata%5BDescription%5D=qwerty

etc. after applying:

$.param(data)

I have used many version instead of “Description”, but to no avail. I tried to get rowdata on its own and access its elements, but no success. I cannot find out what the %5B and %5D means, searching for that is problematic with the % sign. Anyone who can help to get the values of Description, Code, etc. in php?

Answer 1

You are sending JSON, but trying to parse it as application/x-www-form-urlencoded data.

Don’t convert the object to JSON.

$.get('example.php', {"Description":"qwerty","Code":"12345","Size":"11","Colour":"green"});
