Question

Where does the HTTPRequestObject place strings I have sent via “POST” to a php file? I have tried looking in the $_POST and $_REQUEST arrays.

I am using send like follows:

request.send(“name=”+name+”&comment=”+comment);

from javascript to send data to a php file, where I loose it. The request goes though (I check with onreadystatechange), and I’m using the POST method in my open call.

Try this:

request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

before request.send()

and you should replace:

request.send("name="+name+"&comment="+comment);

with:

request.send("name="+encodeURIComponent(name)+"&comment="+encodeURIComponent(comment));
