jQuery POST data not being sent

Question

For some reason the data skip is not being sent through:

main.php

  var skipCounter = 0;

  $('#load-more-comments').click(function(){

    skipCounter++;
    postid = <?php echo $_GET['t']; ?>;

    $.ajax({
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'morecomments?t='+postid+'.php',
      data: {skip:skipCounter},
      success: function(data){
        $('.comments-main').append(data);
      }
    });
  });

morecomments.php

$skip = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$_POST['skip']);
$postid = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$_GET['t']); 

$skip is null I believe, as when I manually set it to 1 instead of through POST data my code (beneath) works. The actual request is successful though.

What can cause this?

Answer 1

url should be 'morecomments.php?t=<....> instead of 'morecomments?t=<....>.php

Even though you have a .htaccess that removes the .php part, it is still an invalid URL and that means that the rewrite might be removing more than you want, or the server is just rejecting part of it all together.
