JQuery Ajax sending over URL string

Question

I seem to be having problems with sending over a string of a URL. The URL looks like this:

http://www.thewebsitehere.com/mf2/stuff/dirhere.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publions::Article&mid=8F3A7027421F87F791&SiteID=B824D34CAB8727A06DEA3467&tier=4&id=8964A4D50BB59A0AD48594A

Its sending all that information inside the JS but it only looks like this once it gets to the php page:

http://www.thewebsitehere.com/mf2/stuff/dirhere.asp?sid=

My Ajax is set up like so:

jQuery.ajax({ type: "POST", dataType: "html", data: "type=add" + "&1A=" + pubName + "&1B=" + postID + "&1C=" + PostTitle + "&1D=" + timeStamp + "&1E=" + pdfLink + "&1F=" + imgLink + "&1G=" + fullArticleLink, url: "../wp-content/plugins/visual-editor-custom-buttons/js/wpDataSend.php", success: function(results) { if (results.indexOf("done") >= 0) { showNotifier(8000,'#43d32b','Title, Pub Name, Image, Date, PDF & Article link have been saved!'); } else { showNotifier(8000,'#d32b2b','Could not save... Please try again!'); } }, error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log("Status: " + textStatus); console.log("Error: " + errorThrown); showNotifier(8000,'#d32b2b','Error: ' + textStatus + ' | ' + errorThrown); } });

And I am gathering up the data from the PHP page like so:

$newtype = $_POST['type']; $pubName = $_POST['1A']; $postID = $_POST['1B']; $PostTitle = $_POST['1C']; $timeStamp = $_POST['1D']; $pdfLink = $_POST['1E']; $imgLink = $_POST['1F']; $Fullarticle = $_POST['1G'];

How can I correct this?

You're posting to "wpDataSend.php" but getting "dirhere.asp"? What are the actual urls? Are you sending an sid param? — Emmett

@Emmett It's just a link. Has nothing to do with the .php page that its sending the data to. — StealthRT

You can send post params the right way using

jQuery.ajax({ ... data: {param1 : value1, param2: value2}

@DarkCthulhu: Will my PHP side be the same in order to gather that information? Will i need to change the dataType to json?

@StealthRT It would be the same. They are still going to arrive as post params.

What have you tried · Accepted Answer · 2013-03-21 14:05:07Z

Try encodeURIComponent. This will escape certain characters in the URL to conform with UTF-8 standards.

var encodedURL = encodeURIComponent(str);

Change your data to this:

data: {type: "add", 1A: "pubName"....//and so on},

You have to put quotes and around the value.
