Hi There, I am trying to submit some data to a PHP script, however the PHP scripts expects the data to arrive in a specific format, like this example which is a dump of the post,
Array ( [save] => Add to shortlist [cv_file] => Array ( [849709537] => Y [849709616] => Y [849709633] => Y ) )
The process is currently that a user selects the product they want using checkboxes and then clicks a submit button which fires the PHP scripts,
The HTML looks like this,
div class="row">
<ul>
<li class="drag_check ui-draggable">
<input type="checkbox" id="inp_cv_849709537" name="cv_file[849709537]" class="cv_choice" value="Y">
</li>
<li class="id"><a href="/search/cv/849709537">849709537</a></li>
<div class="disp">
<li class="location">Huddersfield</li>
<li class="status">
Not currently working </li>
<li class="education">other</li>
<li class="role">
Temporary </li>
<li class="salary">£100,000 or more</li>
<div class="s"> </div>
</div>
</ul>
<dl>
<dt>Current Role</dt>
<dd>Developer </dd>
<dt>Sectors</dt><dt>
</dt><dd>
Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Hospitality & Travel, Installation &
Maintenance, Installation &
Maintenance </dd>
<dt>About Me</dt><dt>
</dt><dd></dd>
</dl>
<div class="s"></div>
</div>
I am needing to use AJAX instead now, but I need to send the data to PHP in the format it expects here is what I have so far,
$('#addshortlist').click(function() {
var datastring = ui.draggable.children().attr('name')+"="+ui.draggable.children().val()+"&save=Add to shortlist";
alert(datastring);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/search',
data:ui.draggable.children().attr('name')+"="+ui.draggable.children().val()+"&save=Add to shortlist",
success:function(){
alert("Success"+datastring);
},
error:function() {
alert("Fail"+datastring);
}
});
return false;
});
I would really appreciate any help
