POjQuery AJAX post is empty when content-type is set to JSON UTF-8
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to post some very simple data to a php file using jquery and then get the json response but I seem to be running into a road block somewhere. Here is my jquery:</p> <pre><code><script> $(function() { $('.resend-verify').click( function() { var userid = $(this).attr('rel'); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "resend_verification.php", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: "userid=" + userid, dataType: "json", success: function(data) { console.log(data.response); if(data.response == 'error') { $('div.alert').addClass('error'); } $('div.alert').html(data.comment); } }); }); }); </script> </code></pre> <p>and here is the php page it posts to</p> <pre><code><?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { // Check For Post require '../../config.php'; // Site Settings require '../../connectors/mysqlConnector.php'; include $DIR['php'] . 'functions.php'; // Common Functions //var_dump(json_decode($_POST)); $UserID = $_POST['userid']; $userSQL = "SELECT p.user_firstname,p.user_lastname,a.user_email,a.user_salt FROM web_profiles p INNER JOIN web_accounts a ON p.user_id = a.user_id WHERE p.user_id ='" . $UserID . "'"; $userQuery = mysql_query($userSQL); //var_dump($userSQL); $user = mysql_fetch_object($userQuery); if (!$user->user_email) { $response = array('response' => 'error', 'comment' => 'User not found'); } else { // Send User Verification Email $sendmail = new sendMail(); $message = createUserAuthEmail($user->user_firstname, $user->user_lastname, $user->user_salt, $Site['register_email_body']); $content['body'] = '<br /><br />' . $message . '<br /><br />DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL! IT IS ONLY AN AUTOMATED NOTIFICATION EMAIL!'; $sendmail->set(to, $user->user_email); $sendmail->set(subject, 'Action Required to Activate Membership'); $sendmail->set(from, 'no-reply@domain.com'); $sendmail->set(html, true); $sendmail->getParams($content); $sendmail->parseBody(); $sendmail->setHeaders(); if ($sendmail->send()) { $response = array('response' => 'success', 'comment' => 'email sent'); } else { $response = array('response' => 'error', 'comment' => 'Error sending email'); } } echo json_encode($response); } ?> </code></pre> <p>The problem im having is that if I use contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" the $_POST is always empty. And when I remove contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" the $_POST is populated but I cant get a json response. What am I doing wrong??</p>
