post data with xmlhttprequest?

Question

Hi guys I'm trying to delete a file with Ajax and I have this code:

functions.js:

function deleter(val){ var value = val.replace(".",","); var del = new XMLHttpRequest(); del.addEventListener("load", completedelete, false); del.open("POST","index.php?action=delete",true); del.send("file="+value); }

index.php:

if(isset($_REQUEST['action'])&& $_REQUEST['action']=="delete"){ if(!isset($_POST['file'])){ echo("not set"); } if(unlink($_POST['file'])){ echo"1"; }else{ echo"0"; } }

and I always get "not set" in the response with the 0 .

any one can help me?

DANGER you are in dire need of some sanity checking on that input! What if someone submitted file=index.php? — Quentin

Try to add

del.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

before del.send().
