Sending variables by POST

Hi, i am new to this, trying to test it out, but not sure why it doesnt work:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxFunction(){
var ajaxRequest;  // The variable that makes Ajax possible!
ajaxRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

ajaxRequest.open("POST", "serverTime.php", true);
if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
	ajaxRequest.send("test=hi");
}

}
//-->
</script>



<form name='myForm' method='POST'>
Name: <input type='text' onChange="ajaxFunction();" name='username' /> <br />
Time: <input type='text' name='time' />
</form>

and the serverTime.php is

session_start();
if (isset($_POST['test'])) {$_SESSION['test'] = $_POST['test'];}
echo $_SESSION['test'];
echo "<br />";

Thank you very much :P

Try this instead, remember to set your form id

 

   var object_busy= false;
   ShowLoading = 1 ;
   var MyTimer = null;
   
   Myvar = "<table  align='center'><tr><td><img src='/templates/images/loading.gif' ></td></tr></table>";
   
   function RequireAjaxData_post($Request, $Control) {
      if ($Control == "" || $Control == null)   {alert ("No output specified !"); return;}
      var ai = new AJAXInteraction($Request, GetServerData,  $Control );
     ai.doPost("sendForm");
   }
   
   function GetServerData  ($TheData, $Control){
      document.getElementById($Control).innerHTML = $TheData;
   }

   function AJAXInteraction(url, callback, $Control) {
         var req = init();
       req.onreadystatechange = processRequest;
       
       function init() {
         if   (window.XMLHttpRequest)      {   return new XMLHttpRequest();               }
         else if (window.ActiveXObject)   {   return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");  }
         else {alert ("Your browser seems to be out of date, Please update!"); return;      }
       }
   
       function processRequest () {
         if (req.readyState == 4) {
              if (req.status == 200) callback(req.responseText, $Control);
         }
         else   callback(Myvar , $Control);
       }
       
   this.processForm = function (formID) {
     var tmp = new Array();
	 var n, form;

	 form = document.getElementById(formID);

	 for (n=0;n<form.length;n++)
	      tmp.push(encodeURI(form.elements[n].name) + "=" + encodeURI(form.elements[n].value));
         
	 return tmp.join("&");
   }
   
       this.doGet = function(formID) {
         var vars = this.processForm(formID);
         req.open("GET", url+"?"+vars, true);
         req.send(null);
       }
   
       this.doPost = function(formID) {
         var body = this.processForm(formID);
         req.open("POST", url, true);
         req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
         req.send(body);
	 }
   }

Your main problem is that you have not created the XMLHttpRequest object. Add something like this to your code:

 

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { var ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
else if (window.ActiveXObject){ var ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }

 

 

Also, both open() and send() must be called before the request is sent to the server. readyState will only be equal to 4 after the request has been successfully sent to the server (i.e. after calling both open() and send()) and a response retrieved.

 

Replace:

ajaxRequest.open("POST", "serverTime.php", true);
   if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
      ajaxRequest.send("test=hi");
   }

 

with:

ajaxRequest.open("POST", "serverTime.php", true); 
ajaxRequest.send("test=hi");
   if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
      alert(ajaxRequest.responseText); //Do something with the response
   }
