Question

i just got the hang of using jquery ajax
for example, this code sends the contents of the comment box to the php file.

    $.post("user_submit.php", {
      comment: $("#comment").text()
    });

the question however is how do i receive the data in the user_submit.php file?

Answer 1

With $.post() any data sent like this:

$.post("user_submit.php", {
  comment: $("#comment").text()
});

is received as such:

<?php
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
...
?>
