You are missing key. Change your data to:

data: { get_text : $("#post_text").val() },

And your type is POST, so use $_POST['get_text'] in PHP file.

The problem is that you are making a POST and trying to get the value as GET.

Use :

$get_text = $_POST['get_text'];
mysqli_query($Connection, "INSERT INTO posts VALUES('$ID', '$get_text')");

Use jQuery to send a JavaScript variable to your PHP file:

'$url = 'path/to/phpFile.php';
 $.get($url, {name: get_name(), job: get_job()});'

In your PHP code, get your variables from $_GET['name'] and $_GET['job'] like this:

<?php
    $buffer_data['name'] = $_GET['name'];
    $buffer_data['job']  = $_GET['job'];
?>
