Jquery query string type to

Question

i am using serialize()

Some Event trigger(assume click)

       var querydata= a=1&b=2&c=3  //jquery printing 
     $.ajax({
        url: "script",
        data: querydata,
        method: "POST",
        dataType: "text",
        success: function(data) {
          $("#counts").html(data);
            }

  });

in php do i just use the regular post method

a=htmlspecialchars($_POST["a"]); b=htmlspecialchars($_POST["b"]); and so on

or do i need to use jquery to get the string to variables and then send to data as a object array

if jquery is also an option could you tell me how i would do that im fairly new to jquery and i really want to learn it

var_dump($_POST) would show you what php's receiving. and note that jquery will happily accept an array/object for data and do the necessary querystring transforms for you. you DON'T have to manually build the string yourself. data: {"a":1,"b":2,....} works just fine. — Marc B

neat but using ajax how do i see my script page ...im guessing i have to send var_dump as a response back and print it somewhere? @Marc B — Reuben Gomes

any output from php would show up in the success handler's data parameter, which you're inserting into your page already anyways. — Marc B

Why bother creating a functionality that your browser+PHP provide already?? In your case, if you really have to send a raw string:

var querydata = 'a=1&b=2&c=3';
$.ajax({
    url: "script",
    data: querydata,
    method: "POST",
    dataType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    success: function(data) {
        $("#counts").html(data);
    }
});

You may also want to simplify:

var querydata = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
$.post('url', querydata, function(data){
    $("#counts").html(data);
});

thing is the querydata variable will keep changing there are 3(x150 pages) loaded everytimes a succesfull submit happens

and each time query data will change so i dont think using a built array would work form me casue values assigned to a b c will changed based on what the user selects

CarlosCarucce Over a year ago

Of course native arrays will work. Just capture the user input value: { a: $(':input[name="inputName"]').val() }

the pages are all paginated using easyPagination lib so from 1 field set iv captured the values using serialize() thats why im getting a querystiring
