.ajax passing two values

[beanymanuk]

Hi I am trying to pass two values from text boxes and insert them into database

 

Passing values content3 and votime

Is this section of code right in putting the values into one var called dataString

 

$(".comment_button3").click(function() {
	var element = $(this);
	var test3 = $("#content3").val();
	var test4 = $("#votime").val();
	var dataString = 'content3='+ test3 + '&votime='+ test4;

	if(test3=='')
	{
		alert("Please Enter Some Text");
	}
	else
	{
		$("#flash").show();
		$("#flash").fadeIn(400).html('<img src="http://tiggin.com/ajax-loader.gif" align="absmiddle"> <span class="loading">Loading Comment...</span>');
		$.ajax({
		type: "POST",
		url: "http://www.peter-gosling.com/tagit/timetags/demo_insert.php",
		data: { dataString} ,
		cache: false,
		success: function(html)

 

demo_insert.php file

$content=$_POST['content3'];
$time=$_POST['votime'];
round($time);
mysql_query("insert into tagbytime (id ,tag, time,userId ,videoId) VALUES (NULL,'$content','$time','$user','$thisvideo') ");

 

Currently it is just getting the dataString value and inserting this value into $content

 

Thankyou in advance for any help

Try this:

 

data: {content3: test3, votime: test4},
