Can't access the values posted by jQuery Ajax

I have a an script that sends a post to my php file:

$('.target').change(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/form-actions.php",
        data: {rechten : '0'},
        cache: false,
        success: function(){
            alert("Submitted");
       }
    });
});

When i use firebug i can see the post being send: Parameter: rechten 0

But my form-actions.php (which is in the right location) can't see the post when i use 

<?php print_r($_POST); ?>

The outcome of this is Array ( )

What am i doing wrong?

Thank you for your time!

(I'm adding this as an answer rather than a comment because of the code) Are you super-sure your php file is in the right place? Change your JS to

$('.target').change(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/form-actions.php",
        data: {rechten : '0'},
        cache: false,
        success: function(data){
            alert(data);
       }
    });
});

And see what is alerted.

This is assuming that form-actions.php contains just

<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>

and nothing else (or you'll see that too).
