in php file i tried as an example to call variable from js $_post['test'] i dunno how but it didn't work

Answer 1

First you need to convert variable "data" to text like this

let data = JSON.stringify({test: 'test'});

In PHP you can use PHP input stream. PHP input stream is basically way to receive raw data. You can access it this way

$data = file_get_contents("php://input");

Now we have stringified JSON in $data variable. To access data that is in $data variable you need to use PHP's json_decode function.

$final_data = json_decode($data);
echo $final_data->test;

This might seem complicated thing to understand. You should read more about data types. In that way you can understand this example so much better. I will link you few things that might help you out in learning.

• PHP Introduction
• PHP json_decode
• JSON stringify in Javascript
• Javascript data types

String(0) means that your PHP has not received your data from Javascript. Reason for that might be that your URL is not written in right way. I recommend using full URL. For example if you have web server set at localhost your URL should be "http://localhost/upload.php".

I made you example code that you can take look at. It has comments that explain you every step that is happening. It might be hard for you to read it and understand it completely but that is okey. I actually did this example for me aswell as I do need to remind myself how to do things. I post you two links to Pastebin that you can try to use together. I post it in comments as I did not find out how to post content from Pastebin to answer.
