I believe I am making a very basic mistake somewhere.
I have a Form I want to transmit to a PHP page. I also want to send a parameter with that information so I have created a basic 2D array: $fd['api'] -> contaning the parameter as a string $fd['body'] -> containing the form data
I am struggling to transmit this array "$fd" as a json string and believe I am using the javascript syntax incorrectly somewhere as I do not often use Javascript.
Any Help would be appreciated.
function admin_statistics_form_send(){
var fd = []
fd['api'] = "refresh_all"
fd['body'] = new FormData(document.getElementById("admin_statistics_form"))
var jsonstring = fd
console.log(jsonstring)
$.ajax({
async: true,
beforeSend: function(){
},
url: "admin_statistics_api.php",
type: "POST",
data: jsonstring,
dataType: "json",
processData: false, // tell jQuery not to process the data
contentType: false, // tell jQuery not to set contentType
success: function (data) {
console.log(data)
},
error: function(data) {
console.log(data)
}
})
}

You only want to send the FormData object. To add other key/value pairs you append to that object:
function admin_statistics_form_send(){
var fd = new FormData($("#admin_statistics_form")[0]);
fd.append('api',"refresh_all");
$.ajax({
//async: true, // redundant since it is default and should never use `false`
beforeSend: function(){
},
url: "admin_statistics_api.php",
type: "POST",
data: fd,
dataType: "json",
processData: false, // tell jQuery not to process the data
contentType: false, // tell jQuery not to set contentType
success: function (data) {
console.log(data)
},
error: function(data) {
console.log(data)
}
})
}
