I am trying to post some form data to self with no success.My code is as follows
<html>
<title>Post to self</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.x-button').live("click", function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "self.php",
data: $(".aj").serialize(),
success: function (data) {
alert("Data Loaded:");
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo $_POST['firstname'];
}
?>
<form name="input" action="" class="aj" method="post">
<article>
<label>Firstname</label>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Ed" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<article>
<label>Lastname</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Doe" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<article>
<label>City</label>
<input type="text" name="city" value="London" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<input type="submit" value="Update Options" class="x-button" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
When using <form name="test" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post"> in plain php and html it works but i can't get it to work with jquery.

you are mixing two approch altogether.
<form id="myform" action="" >
.....
</form>
To send ajax request to the same page you can keep url parameter empty/removed
TRY
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.x-button').live("click", function () {
$.post({
data: $('form#myform').serialize(),
success: function (data) {
alert("Data Loaded:");
}
});
});
});
</script>
Of course you do not want to include the whole page to the response text so you need a statement if ajax is requested
<?php
/* AJAX check */
if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
if(isset($_POST))
{
print_r($_POST);
}
}else{
?>
<html>
<title>Post to self</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.x-button').live("click", function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "self.php",
data: $(".aj").serialize(),
success: function (data) {
alert("Data Loaded:");
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="input" action="" class="aj" method="post">
<article>
<label>Firstname</label>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Ed" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<article>
<label>Lastname</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Doe" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<article>
<label>City</label>
<input type="text" name="city" value="London" class="x-input"
/>
</article>
<input type="submit" value="Update Options" class="x-button" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php }?>
add return false; at the end of the inline javascript function to avoid the form gets submitted the "normal" way
