I have a problem when I want to send input data via jQuery's $.post
. I have this input:
<input id="mydata" value='<?php echo $data; ?>' >
and I want to send its data via jQuery's $.post()
function.
This $.post
function runs, but it does't send anything:
var the_data = $('#mydata').val();
//alert(the_data); has correct data!!
$.post("http://php/server", the_data , function(data){
alert(data);
}, "html");
But this one sends data correctly:
$.post("http://php/server", <?php echo $data; ?> , function(data){}, "html");
I should use input for saving data and method 2 isn't suitable for me.

The data needs to be an object.
var the_data = {
mydata: $('#mydata').val()
};
You can access this in your PHP with $_POST['mydata']
.
