What does jQuery.serialize() method do in jQuery?
The serialize() method serializes a set of input elements into a string of data. Let’s say we have the following PHP content in serialize.php file −
<?php
if( $_REQUEST["name"] ) {
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
echo "Welcome ". $name;
$age = $_REQUEST['age'];
echo "<br />Your age : ". $age;
$sex = $_REQUEST['sex'];
echo "<br />Your gender : ". $sex;
}
?>
Example
The following is the code snippet showing the usage of this method −
<head>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#driver").click(function(event){
$.post(
"/jquery/serialize.php",
$("#testform").serialize(),
function(data) {
$('#stage1').html(data);
}
);
var str = $("#testform").serialize();
$("#stage2").text(str);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
