  • Check console while you are making ajax call, are there any values passing? Commented Aug 11, 2017 at 5:28

Change your test.php code use square bracket not round for super global variable as below,

<?php
if (isset($_POST['variable'])) {
    $name = $_POST['variable'];
    echo $name;
}
?>

Try this it will definitely work: My PHP File:

<script>
var name = "name";
var url = "test/test.php";
        $.ajax({
            url: url,
            type: 'POST',
            data: {'name': name},
           success: function (data) {
            console.log(date);
           }
});
</script>

Where ajax request recieves:

//here I am getting the variable value

<?PHP
 $name = $_POST['name'];
 echo $name;
?>

After Your latest comment I have added js fiddle link before running it open console and POST besides headers section you can see data has been posted. Js Fiddle Demo Link
