Retrieving POST Data from AJAX Call to PHP

Question

Three days had passed and still having problems to get this things work. This AJAX Call on my js file seems working when it comes to sending JSON data:

 var         


        

Answer 1

instead of this

data: "{'lastName':'" + _lname + "','firstName':'" + _fname +
"','middleName':'" + _mname + "'}",

use this

data: {lastName:_lname,firstName:_fname,middleName:_mname},

Answer 2

Can you see the ajax request data using the firebug console?

You cannot get the lastname, firstname from $_POST. It's inside the json string. First, you have to get the data using

 $data = $_POST['data'] or $_REQUEST['data']

Then, decode the $data using json_deocde and access your attributes.

json_decode($data);

Answer 3

$post = file_get_contents('php://input');
