Ajax submit doesn't work (can't read $_POST in php)
Question
I am trying to submit my form using Ajax. When the button is clicked the hit() function gets called and passes the contents of the textbox back to test.php
$_POST seems to be empty, since I get the alert from ajax (form was submitted) but I don't get to see the echo ( echo $_POST['textbox'] )
test.php
<?php
echo "test";
if($_POST)
{
echo $_POST['textbox'];
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post" align="center" id="form" name="form">
<script type="text/javascript" src="test2.js"> </script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="input" name="input" oninput="check();">
<input type="button" class="form-control" id="send" name="send" value="Send" onclick="hit();">
</form>
</body>
</div>
</html>
test2.js
function hit() {
var inputText = $("#input").val();
var inputTextString = "textbox=" + inputText;
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'test.php',
data: inputTextString,
success: function () {
alert('form was submitted');
}
});
}

you will get the desired results in the response.
function hit() {
var inputText = $("#input").val();
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'test.php',
data: {textbox : inputText},
success: function (res) {
alert(res);
}
});
}
And you need to change in your test.php file.
<?php
echo "test";
if($_POST)
{
echo $_POST['textbox'];exit;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="test2.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post" align="center" id="form" name="form">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="input" name="input" oninput="check();">
<input type="button" class="form-control" id="send" name="send" value="Send" onclick="hit();">
</form>
</body>
</div>
</html>

There're more of problems here
In test.php
- how can you include your js file before you include jquery .. first is first .. After Tested Yes you can use jquery
$()inside a function without getting$ undefinederror while you'll run the function after include jquery .. sorry my bad - Scripts should be on the
<head></head>or before</body> - while you using just button click why you're using
<form>
your code should be something like that
<?php
echo "test";
if($_POST)
{
echo $_POST['textbox'];
return false;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="input" name="input" oninput="check();">
<input type="button" class="form-control" id="send" name="send" value="Send" onclick="hit();">
<script type="text/javascript" src="test2.js"> </script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</div>
</html>
On test2.js
function hit() {
var inputText = $("#input").val();
var inputTextString = {textbox : inputText}; // use this
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'test.php',
data: inputTextString,
success: function () {
alert('form was submitted');
}
});
}
Note: for me I prefer to use separated php file to use it with ajax .. it'll make it easier for outputs
If you need to use a form .. you can use your form code including my notes above and make your submit button type="submit" and remove onclick="hit()" from it then on your js file you can use
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').on('submit',function(e){
e.preventDefault(); // to prevent form reload
var inputText = $("#input").val();
var inputTextString = {textbox : inputText}; // use this
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'test.php',
data: inputTextString,
success: function () {
alert('form was submitted');
}
});
});
});

you never test if you see the reponse from echo - hence you don't alert the response from php at all.
To see what your php script returns you have to alert (or log, or do something usefull with) the passed in parameter to the success callback:
....
success: function (response) {
alert(response);
console.log(response);
},
....
Anyway you should make sure to not send additional data (like unneeded html in your case) back to ajax, but only the value/json. So in your case an exit; after echo would help.
