[SOLVED] I can use variables but not display them

[skyer2000]

I'm using jQuery to pass variables from a form to a php script, then back into a div.

 

It passes the variables correctly (i can see it in firebug), and with the variables I am able to update database tables. However, when I try to display anything related to the variables (or even the variables themselves), it just will not display. I put text in the php file and it displayed correctly.

 

I turned on error reporting and got the following

Notice: Undefined index: positiontitle in C:\location\test.php on line 4

 

I looked up that error online but everything says that it means the variable is not defined. If that is the case, how am I able to manipulate database tables with the variable?

 

Any ideas?

maybe if we saw line 4 we could help.  generalyl the line number helps tell you where the error is

Line 4 is catching the post

 

$positiontitle = $_POST['positiontitle'];

 

With $positiontitle I can access the database and make updates accordingly. If I try echo $positiontitle; though, I get nothing.

try

 $positiontitle=$_GET['positiontitle'];

Ah wait a second, I had a mistake with it reloading the php file twice. I spend 2 days trying to figure out whats wrong, finally post here and figure it out in minutes. Sorry to waste your time guys, thanks for the quick responses though!
