Submitting JSON data via JQuery ajax.post to PHP

Question

Im submitting Data to a php file via AJAX using POST. It worked fine with just submitting strings, but now I wanted to submit my JS Object with JSON and decode it on PHP sid

To me, it looks like you should reformat your AJAX object. The url-property should only be the URL for the target php-file and any data that needs to be posted should be in the form of a query-string in the data-property. The following should work as you expected:

this.getAbsence = function() {
  var strJSONData = JSON.stringify(this);
  alert(strJSONData);
  jQuery.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    url: 'ajax/selectSingle.php',
    data: 'm=getAbsence&Absence=' + strJSONData,
    success: function(data) {
      alert(data);
    }
  });
}
