Passing URL params with Jquery into php

Question

I'v been trying for last 2 hours to pass parameters from my jquery to PHP. I cannot seem to figure this out. So my code goes following

var something = getUrlParameter('month');
function Refresh()
{ 
$.ajax({

        type: 'POST',
        url: 'getCalendar.php',
        data: {test:something},
        success: function(data){
                 if(data != null) $("#calendarDiv").html(data)
         }
     });
}

getUrlParameter is

function getUrlParameter(sParam)
{
    var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
    var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
    for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) 
    {
        var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
        if (sParameterName[0] == sParam) 
        {
            return sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
}

I just cant seem to be able to pass anything to my php file. Thanks. My goal is to pass ?month=something&year=something into PHP file, so I can based on that display calendar.

Url of example: http://chanceity.com/calendartest.html

But it doesn't work because my php file is not getting those params.

How do you call function Refresh()? Have you checked your browser console for any js errors, or if your ajax() is firing? — Sean

Why not add it to your .ajax() url -> url: 'getCalendar.php?month='+getUrlParameter('month')+'year='+getUrlParameter('year'), — Sean

Don't really have much knowledge with ajax so I'm trying this way, turns out it was function error, now I have tried with function $.urlParam = function(name){ var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href); return results[1] || 0; } but if I try to send parameter, for example September gets cut into Se for some reason — Shame123

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'getCalendar.php',
    cache: false,
    dataType:'json',
    data: "data=" + {test:something},
    success: function(data)
     {
         $("#calendarDiv").html(data)
     },
    error:function()
     {
        $("#calendarDiv").html('Could not get results')
     }
 });

and next go to your php file get the results and echo the variable back thats it

$value = htmlentities($_GET['data']);

if(!empty($value))
{
   $results = 'action you want to do ';
}
else
{
   $results = '';
}
echo json_encode($results);

You can also do it with just javascript

function myJavascriptFunction() { 
  var javascriptVariable = "John";
  window.location.href = "myphpfile.php?name=" + javascriptVariable; 
}
