Passing an Ajax variable to a Codeigniter function
- by Matt
Hello,
I think this is a simple one.
I have a Codeigniter function which takes the inputs from a form and inserts them into a database. I want to Ajaxify the process. At the moment the first line of the function gets the id field from the form - I need to change this to get the id field from the Ajax post (which references a hidden field in the form containing the necessary value) instead. How do I do this please?
My Codeigniter Controller function
function add()
{
$product = $this->products_model->get($this->input->post('id'));
$insert = array(
'id' => $this->input->post('id'),
'qty' => 1,
'price' => $product->price,
'size' => $product->size,
'name' => $product->name
);
$this->cart->insert($insert);
redirect('home');
}
And the jQuery Ajax function
$("#form").submit(function(){
var dataString = $("input#id")
//alert (dataString);return false;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/home/add",
data: dataString,
success: function() {
}
});
return false;
});
As always, many thanks in advance.
