Question

I have the following variable in Javascript. I want to know how to pass this data to a PHP so that I can display the contents of the data once redirected.

    postData = {
        'dates_ranges': datesAndRanges,
        'action':'build',
        'output_type': output_type,
        'form_html': formHtml,
        'width': formBuilder.width(),
        'rules':validationRules,
        'theme': theme,
    };

Use JQuery post method to pass data to PHP file:

$.post("/path/to/script.php", postData, function(result) {
    // work with result
});

In PHP use $_POST global to get the variables:

print $_POST['dates_ranges'];
print $_POST['action'];
// ...
