i just got the hang of using jquery ajax for example, this code sends the contents of the comment box to the php file.
$.post("user_submit.php", {
comment: $("#comment").text()
});
the question however is how do i receive the data in the user_submit.php file?
The basic usage in the PHP side is:
echo $_POST["comment"]; // unsafe
Remember basic security like escaping:
echo htmlspecialchars($_POST["comment"]); // minimum
It will be in the $_POST array:
print_r($_POST);
...this will show you everything posted to that page.
If you mean "how do I receive the output of user_submit.php", then the solution is to use the callback parameter:
$.post("user_submit.php", { comment: $("#comment").text() },
function(data){
alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});
If you mean "how do I receive the comment in user_submit.php", then you should use:
htmlspecialchars($_POST["comment"]);
Links to php manual pages for htmlspecialchars, $_POST.
