storing json.html value (generated within jQuery code), in a PHP $ variable

[Marco_]

I have a submit.php file that includes the following jQuery code:

<script> [...] request.done(function( json ) { jQuery('input[name=thumbnail-url]').val(json.thumbnail_url); jQuery('input[name=job_title]').val(json.title); jQuery('textarea[name=htmlcode]').val(json.html); [...] </script>

I need to remove

jQuery('textarea[name=htmlcode]').val(json.html);

and pass the "json.html" value into a PHP variable in another php file (functions.php).

The code in the functions.php file is already there.

The thing i need to do (and i am seriously struggling with it) is placing the value of json.html into a $phpvariable that i can then call from the function.php file.

Do you need any more info for this issue?

Thanks.

location.href = 'foo.php?data='+json.html

var_dump($_GET['data']);

maybe you need to escape that somehow. Or use AJAX.

Is this not already going through PHP? That request.done suggests you're doing AJAX...

the input/job_title and input/thumbnail-url they both already go through php because these are real visible fields on the form that gets physically populated on the fly. 

The other field instead textarea/htmlcode is hidden hence cannot be populated on the fly and the value currently is not passed through php. 

i have a receiving $phpvar now in the file functions.php that will need to get the value from this submit.php form that currently is not getting cause it is not passed. 

i checked the http header request and i am struggling in finding a way to pass this value.

hi Chhorn, thanks for this. 

sorry but i am pretty new to coding. 

the two lines that you wrote must be written exactly like this or i need to replace something in there? e. g. foo.php and var_dump?! 

additionally both of these lines must be included in the submit.php file or some of them in another file? 

last thing, what would i need to escape, and what does that mean? 

Thanks a lot, hope in the near future will be able to avoid these silly questions...
