Ajax undefined variable in php file

Question

My ajax function:

function get_employee_list(Parameter){

    $.ajax({
        url: 'resource/php/search_profile.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: { var1 : Parameter},
        async: false,
        success: function (response) {
            alert(response);
        },
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false
    });return false;
}

My search_profile.php file:

<?php
    echo $_POST['var1'];
?>

The response string says var1 is undefined variable. Is there anything wrong in my ajax syntax?

contentType: false,
processData: false

You've told jQuery not to convert the object to a suitably encoded format and not to set the content-type to tell PHP what that format is.

Consequently, PHP can't understand that data you are sending, so don't do that.

});
