Question

How to assign javascript variable to php $_POST to get the data on same page.

i tried following

var t= timesheetId;//timesheet id is coming from js file 
$.ajax({
 type:"POST",
 data: {'variable': t},
});

• Qirel: You need to send it somewhere, and process it in a .php-file separately. Specify a url : "/phpfile.php", parameter too, where you then use $_POST['variable'] in a phpfile.php
• Jay Blanchard: If you're unsure of the basics of jQuery's AJAX functions read this.
• Mrunali Dighe: i want to post variable on same page
• Qirel: Without having too much details, it seems like you might be confused with client-side and server-side programming. You should read through this StackOverflow question.

Answer 1

You need to add a url to that ajax request so that it sends it to wherever your php file is. right now it's not being sent anywhere
