Use variable to send data with jQuery AJAX

Question

I'm using jquery AJAX to instant save things, however when an ID already exists it will give a hidden element with data in it. Which is already given as the 'right' syntax for $.ajax data.

I'm returning something like this:

{'km' : '43223432', 'id' : '2', 'date' : '15-01-2014'}

All values can be different ofcourse.

However; if this is returned, the user can click on a button to 'overwrite' the data. Data is stored in: $(".errorLogContent")

    var text = $(".errorLogContent").text(); 
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "../uitvoer/overschijf.php",
    data: text
});

Why isn't this working?

don't send data without parameter name... let's say the name of the parameter will be param

do it like this

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "../uitvoer/overschijf.php",
      data: { 
         myparam:text //set it with a parameter name
      }
});

in overschijf.php file you will receive the text as

$_POST['myparam'];

Use this:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "../uitvoer/overschijf.php",
    data: {
       data: text
    }
});
