Question

I’m going to use a time interval to call function autoSave(). Inside the function I’m going to use AJAX to send the content what has been written inside the forms textarea. Hmmm, how do I get a variable or something that holds the text from the form to send with AJAX to a PHP page?

In the PHP page I’m going to use code like this to get te content of the textarea

$articleText = isset($_POST['articleText']) ? $_POST['articleText'] : '';

But I need some help to pass the text from the form togehter with som info like ?p=add-reply’

I guess the AJAX would look like something like this, but I’m not sure about the variables?

$.ajax({
url: "PStoreForm.php", 
type: "POST",
dataType: "text",
data: ??????????????
}); 

Answer 1

This should work

$.ajax({
    url: "PStoreForm.php?param=xxxx&param2=yyy", 
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "text",
    data: "articleText="+$("#yourtextareaid").val()
    });
