    copied!<p>I'm trying to streamline my login system by using ajax to handle to back and form requests to the server. I want to POST my form data to a PHP page, then return true/false and 'Not Enough Data' if the correct parameters didn't get passed.</p> <p>My problem is that my AJAX request isn't sending the data that I'm giving it to send.</p> <p>Here is my JavaScript function:</p> <pre><code>function confirm_login() { val_UName = document.login_form.username.value; val_Pwd = document.login_form.password.value; var result = null; var scriptUrl = "login_confirm.php"; $.ajax({ url: scriptUrl, type: 'post', data: ({username : val_UName, password : val_Pwd}), dataType: 'html', async: false, success: function(data) { result = data; } }); result = result.split('|'); if(result[1] == 'true') window.location = "index.php"; else alert('Could not log you in!\n\n'+result[0]); } </code></pre> <p>This function is called in the onclick event of the submit button on the form. Now, I've used the debug tools in Chrome and I KNOW that val_UName and val_Pwd are getting the form values. So it's definitely a breakdown between here and the login_confirm.php</p> <p>Just for completeness' sake, here's what's going on in login_confirm.php (I left out the lines that are connecting to the DB and closing the connection):</p> <pre><code>$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']); if($username == '' || $password == '') echo 'Not Enough Data|'; $login_query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE u_name = '$username' AND pwd = '$password'"; $result = mysql_query($login_query); $result_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if($result_rows &gt; 0) { session_start(); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true; $_SESSION['uname'] = $row['u_name']; $_SESSION['uID'] = $row['pkid']; $_SESSION['email'] = $row['email']; $_SESSION['roleID'] = $row['fk_roleid']; echo 'true'; } else { echo 'false'; } </code></pre> <p>Anyone know what's going on here or seen anything like this before?</p> <p>PS. I've even tried changing to using GET and that still doesn't work...</p>
