How to use POST method to send data in jQuery Ajax?
The jQuery.post( url, [data], [callback], [type] ) method loads a page from the server using a POST HTTP request.
Here is the description of all the parameters used by this method −
- url − A string containing the URL to which the request is sent
- data − This optional parameter represents key/value pairs or the return value of the .serialize() function that will be sent to the server.
- callback − This optional parameter represents a function to be executed whenever the data is loaded successfully.
- type − This optional parameter represents a type of data to be returned to callback function: "xml", "html", "script", "json", "jsonp", or "text".
Let’s say we have the following PHP content in result.php file:
<?php
if( $_REQUEST["name"] ) {
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
echo "Welcome ". $name;
}
?>
Here's the code snippet to implement how to use POST method to send data in jQuery Ajax:
<head>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#driver").click(function(event){
$.post(
"result.php",
{ name: "John" },
function(data) {
$('#stage').html(data);
}
);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click on the button to load result.html file −</p>
<div id = "stage" style = "background-color:cc0;">
STAGE
</div>
<input type = "button" id = "driver" value = "Load Data" />
