I am trying to use this piece of code to serialize a form AND send an extra variable not found in the form, at the same time. The following line of code is what I expected, but sadly does not work.
var thePage = theFilename();
$.post("pagedetail.php", { $("#PageDetailForm").serialize(), thePage: thePage },
function(data) {
alert(data);
});
Any ideas?
var serialized = $('#PageDetailForm').serialize();
serialized.thePage = thePage;
$.post("pagedetail.php", serialized,
function(data) {
alert(data);
});
what you can do is to add the extra data to an hidden input and catch it in the
pagedetail.php page .
eg lats say your form
<form id='PageDetailForm'>
<input type="hidden" name="value" id="value" value="the value u wamnt to add goes here" />
....other inputs
</form>
after this just do your normal $.post
$.post("#pagedetail.php",$("#PageDetailForm").serialize(),function(data){
$("#ans").html(data);
// in the pagedetail.php
$echo $_POST['value'];
hope dis help if ur still confused hola me @dplumptre
Try this for the second parameter to $.post:
{ form: $("#PageDetailForm").serialize(), thePage: thePage }
Hopefully you still need this :). Try the serializeArray() method and then push some additional data in the resulting array, so you don't have splitted arrays etc.:
var postData = $('#form-id').serializeArray();
var additionalData = $('#additionalDataID').val();
postData.push({name: 'additionalName', value: additionalData});
and finally:
$.post(URL, postData);
Try sortable('toArray'):
var thePage = theFilename();
$.post("pagedetail.php", { pageDetailForm: $("#PageDetailForm").sortable('toArray'), thePage: thePage },
function(data) {
alert(data);
});
