jQuery send POST parameters to PHP

This is how I'm trying to send some data to a php file:

function requestWsList(functionToProcess, me) {
    jQuery.support.cors = true;


    $.ajax({
        crossDomain: true,
        traditional: true,
        url: urlWS(),
        contentType: "text/xml;charset=UTF-8",
        dataType: "html",  
        type: "POST",
        data: {name: 'value', anotherName: 'another value'},
        processData: false,
        success:function(data) {
            functionToProcess(data, me);
        } });

}

When I call this javascript function, the php request is triggered but I always get an empty array in the php variable $_POST.

What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to read the "name" and "anotherName" variables in PHP?

You set contentType to "text/xml;charset=UTF-8" and you are passing a JavaScript object. Just remove this parameter and it should work.

Try to convert your JSON object into a string. For example: 

data: '{ "name": "value", "anotherName": "another value" }

If you're using a browser that supports it you can use JSON.stringify()

For example:

data: JSON.stringify({name: 'value', anotherName: 'another value'});
