Question

I’m trying to post some data to a PHP file using jQuery. If I send the data via a form everything works just fine, but I want it to send in the background via jQuery. The click function works (except $.post), because I have tested it with an alert() and when I comment out the $.post line everything else works. If I don’t comment out the $.post line the last two lines don’t work.

Here is my javascript stored in admin.js:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $(".admin-refresh").click(function () {
        var movieID = $(this).prev().text();
        $.post("actions.php", {refreshMovie: yes, movieID: movieID});
        $(this).removeClass('btn-warning');
        $(this).addClass('btn-success');
    });

});

Here is some of the code from actions.php. This file is working if I post the data via form.

//Refresh Movie Details
if ($_POST['refreshMovie']) {

  $movieID = $_POST['movieID'];

Here is the code from active-movies.php, which contains the button that activates the javascript.

<button class="btn admin-refresh"><i class="icon-refresh"></i> Refresh</button>

The files are stored as such ROOT/admin/active-movies.php, ROOT/admin/actions.php, and ROOT/includes/js/admin.js.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

At least one of your problems is here.

{refreshMovie: yes, movieID: movieID}

should be

{refreshMovie: "yes", movieID: movieID}
