I want to pass some values from JavaScript to PHP using jQuery/AJAX. I have the following "simplified" code, not sure what is that I am doing wrong. There seems to be quite a few similar questions/answers in StackOverflow, but none of the them are really helping.
HTML:
<div>
<a href="#" id="text-id">Send text</a>
<textarea id="source1" name="source1" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>
<textarea id="source2" name="source2" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea>
</div>
JAVASCRIPT:
$("#text-id").click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'text.php',
data: {source1: "some text", source2: "some text 2"}
});
});
PHP (text.php):
<?php
$src1= $_POST['source1'];
$src2= $_POST['source2'];
echo $src1;
echo $src2;
?>
The problem: Nothing is happening...no errors..nothing. I don't see the values of 'source1' and 'source2' showing up in the PHP echo statements.
