Question

I’m using this function to send json to a php page:

function update_records(data) {
    data = data;
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        cache: false,
        timeout: 2000,
        contentType: 'application/json',
        url: 'update.php',
        data: data, //'data='+data+'&aid=0',
        success: function() {
            success_message('success');
        },
        error: function(){
            failure_message('failure');
        }
    }); 

In firebug I can see the posted data:

[{
    "postid": 66,
    "values": [
        "field_key=a",
        "oldvalue=b",
        "newvalue=c dad"
    ]
}]

On my php page how can I $_REQUEST the object? Or am I doing it all wrong?

Answer 1

i actually did solve this one using this code on my js

this is how i collected my data
i have created the object

jsonObj={"postid":postid,"value":value};
var jsonString=JSON.stringify(jsonObj);

now i sent the object using ajax

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: siteurl+'/wp-content/themes/crm/modules/update_lead.php',
  dataType : 'json',
  data: {action:actionType,data:data},
});

and this on the target PHP file ( /wp-content/themes/crm/modules/update_lead.php)

$json=json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['data']), true);

hope this helps …
