php - Catching Post data from Jquery Ajax From Submission -

so sending form data using jquery's ajax functionality. seems work okay how ever not able catch data posts.

i trying use $string = $_post['name'] catch result on page sends no luck.

$(function()  {       $('.error').hide();     $(".button").click(function() {       // validate , process form here      $('.error').hide();         var name = $("input#name").val();         if (name == "") {         $("label#name_error").show();         $("input#name").focus();         return false;       }         var email = $("input#email").val();         if (email == "") {         $("label#email_error").show();         $("input#email").focus();         return false;       }         var phone = $("input#phone").val();         if (phone == "") {         $("label#phone_error").show();         $("input#phone").focus();         return false;       }         var datastring = 'name='+ name + '&email=' + email + '&phone=' + phone;         //alert (datastring);return false;         $.ajax({           type: "post",           url: "from_text_script.php",           data: datastring,           success: function() {           window.location.href="from_text_script.php"          }         });       return false;   });   });

sorry typed code not being screen shot. site won't let me post images yet. kind of silly really. anyway... cheers guys.

i'm not sure you're trying do, why success function redirect same page you're posting to?

try doing on page post to:

var_dump($_request);

that print out got passed , maybe can see what's going on.
