How can I put a selected item in a php post array with javascript?
Question
I'm trying to post a selected item from a dropdown list on one php page so that I can access in another php page. The page does not have a submit button so I am using javascript at the bottom of the page. Here's the page that should put the item in post.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php session_start();?>
</head>
<body>
<select class="myList" name="Country" id="country-selector" autofocus="autofocus" autocorrect="off" autocomplete="off">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select Country</option>
<option value="Belgium" data-alternative-spellings="BE België Belgie Belgien Belgique" data-relevancy-booster="1.5">Belgium</option>
</select>
<Script>
$(function () {
$("#country-selector").change(function(){
var x = document.getElementById("country-selector").value;
alert(x);
$.post('page2.php', {'selectedCountry': x});
$.post('page2.php','val='+$(this).val(),function (response){
alert(response);
});
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Then I want page2.php as the target page. I go to page2.php and try to view the post array like this:
<?php
session_start();
echo $_POST['selectedCountry'];
print_r($_POST);
?>
...but the selectedCountry item is not in the $_POST array. How can I put a selected item in a php post array with javascript?
Thanks.
