Question

I’m currently working on how to send a JavaScript to PHP server side.
I tryed playing with jquery ajax, but it requires a submit (as far as i understand?) before it can send data. My question is how can i send som data from Javascript to PHP without submitting?

I fiddled with folowing code, but can’t receive the data at editproduct.php

$.ajax({
  url: 'includes/editproduct/editproduct.php',
  type: 'GET',
  data: {
    id1: '1',
    id2: '2'
});

//PHP:
print_r($_GET); //Does not show any content

When you use type: 'GET' the data will be stored in $_GET. If you want to store your data in $_POST, use type: 'POST'.

Also, the apostrophes around your vars’ values are not needed. Try

$.ajax({
  url: 'includes/editproduct/editproduct.php',
  type: 'GET',
  data: {
    id1: 1,
    id2: 2
  }
}); 

(and mind the missing curly bracket which suppose to close the data section)
