AJAX POST variable not being read by php script

Why would this not work for me ? It's an AJAX POST request to a php script, the script has been tested and works fine with fixed variables.

The request is as follows

 $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data:{serial:id},
contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
    success: function(data){}

My php is 

    <?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header('Content-type: application/json');

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
echo 'POSTed'; 
 } //to test post

$account = $_POST['serial'];

....etc

which is followed my a MySQL request.

And from my console everything looks fine, except I get " Undefined index: serial" as my response. I have tried constructing my POST variables many different ways. It come from source which when viewed shows the correct variable.

var id =  localStorage.userAccount;

no need to add contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8", in jquery.ajax. just remove it and then try.
