Just wondering what smart people do for parsing data sent by the
Javascript XMLHTTP object--e.g., http.send("post",url,true)...
In a normal form submit, the $_POST global nicely allocates form
elements as array elements automatically. But with the AJAX way,
the data get stuffed inside $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA as a string,
thereby making extraction more tedious.
Try setting this header before sending your Ajax request:
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-
form-urlencoded");
Then $_POST should have an array, as expected. But
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA will not be available.
Yes, that is the trick, thank you. I didn't realize sending the
correct header would then make $_POST do it's magic with "&var=arg
into an array", but now it works as desired.
Thanks everyone for the assistance.
