Question

I have this call:

bindAutoComplete('pro_title');

which uses this function to make an jQuery AJAX call:

function bindAutoComplete(id) {
    $("#" + id).keyup(function() {
        if (this.value.length > 1) {
            $.post("/ajax/autocomplete" , {id: this.value }, function(data) {
               // do stuff here...
            });
        }
    });
}

which works with this PHP script:

public function autocompleteAction()
{
    if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
        echo print_r($this->getRequest()->getPost());
    }
}

When I run these scripts, PHP echoes:

Array ([id] => test) 1

where ‘test’ in this case is the value in this.value from the AJAX call.

What I am looking for is [id] to be replaced with pro_title.

Please help!

The {id: this.value } should be {id: id }..

function bindAutoComplete(id) {
    $("#" + id).keyup(function() {
        if (this.value.length > 1) {
            $.post("/ajax/autocomplete" , {id: id }, function(data) {
               // do stuff here...
            });
        }
    });
}

If you want to send the value as well you can do {id: id, value: this.value }
