PHP unserialize jQuery FORM post

<form action="index.php" method="POST" id="form">
<input type="text" name="guest" id="guest_name" class="textbox"/><br />
<textarea name="textarea" id="text" class="textarea"></textarea/><br />
<input type="submit" id="submit" class="submit"/><br />
</form>

Jquery

$.post("events.php?action=send", { data :  $("#form").serialize() }, function(data, error) { }

Tested if post DATA has the data in it:

echo var_dump($_POST['data']);

I get this:

name=blabla&comment=blabla1

And then when I do

echo $_POST['guest'];

Nothing comes up, it's a NULL.

Question:

What have I done wrong? Why doesn't the POST guest get filled? if it's in DATA, and form's method is POST too.

Thanks!

You are doing it in the wrong way. Try like this

$.post(
        "events.php?action=send", 
        $("#form").serialize() , 
        function(data, error) {}
);

On php end access $_POST array like this

echo $_POST['guest'];
echo $_POST['textarea'];

Remove the data key you don't need it.$("#form").serialize() will make a query string in post which you can easily access as you get on usuall form submission.

Pass the serialized string as the data parameter to $.post not an object whose data parameter is the serialized string

$.post("events.php?action=send", $("#form").serialize() , function(data, error) { }

Now you'll be able to access $_POST['guest'] etc

<?php
parse_str($_POST['data'], $data);
print_r($data);

From what you've written it looks like $_POST['data']['guest'] would have what you're looking for in it.
