Empty POST from jQuery UI Dialog to PHP function with $.post
- by solefald
Hello,
I am having hell of a time trying to figure this one out. Maybe someone can help me here or point me in the right direction.
I have a jQuery UI dialog that pops up when user clicks on an image. The dialog displays a form with 2 drop down windows. "dept" and "group". Group drop down is disabled, until something is selected in the "dept" dropdown menu.
When user selects a department, I do a POST to php function and then enable and populate the group drop down. Simple enough...
<select name="dept" id="dept_select" onchange="getDeptGroups(this.value);">
// Some data here
</select>
JS function:
function getDeptGroups(dept)
{
// This alert works and displays department name.
//alert(dept);
$.post("/am/ldap/getDepartmentGroups.php", {
department: dept },
function(data){
alert(data);
});
}
and finally in php page i just do
<? print_r($_POST); ?>
and end up with empty array.
Array

This happens in both, Chrome and Firefox, however, FireBug clearly shows post data being submitted:
What am i doing wrong here?
