使用jQuery AJAX传递复选框数据

Question

I am trying to pass values of selected checkboxes to a PHP file using jQuery's .getJSON method.

Problem: The values does not seem to be received by the PHP file. I am using print_f to see if the PHP file has received the form data. Looking at the return data, the error PHP throws [ Undefined index: ] tell me that the 2 arrays $bedroom and $bathroom are not defined. How do I get this to work?

HTML Code

<form action="form_ajax.php" method="post">
  <input type="checkbox" name="bedroom[]" value="1">
  <input type="checkbox" name="bedroom[]" value="2">
  <input type="checkbox" name="bedroom[]" value="3">

  <input type="checkbox" name="bathroom[]" value="1">
  <input type="checkbox" name="bathroom[]" value="2">
  <input type="checkbox" name="bathroom[]" value="3">

  <input type="submit" id="button" value="submit!!!">
</form>

jQuery Code

$(function() {

    $("#button").click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var other_data = "hello";
        $.getJSON("form.php", {some-other-data: other_data, bedroom: bedroom[], bathroom: bathroom[]}, function(data) {
            console.log(data);
        });
    });

});

PHP Code

<?php

$bedroom = $_GET['bedroom'];
$bathroom = $_GET['bathroom'];

print_r($bedroom);
print_r($bathroom);

?>

Answer 1

According to the jQuery documentation of $.getJSON() the data is passed as querystring variables, so I would suggest you try to use $_GET instead:

$bedroom = $_GET['bedroom'];
$bathroom = $_GET['bathroom'];

Edit, how to send all form-data to the php-file:

If you add an id attribute to the form-tag, you can easily use jQuery to serialize the form, like this, and pass that as the data object in $.getJSON() :

$.getJSON("form.php", $("#your-form-id").serialize());

Then all your selected checkboxes should be passed along to the PHP-file.
