How do I encode JSON in PHP via jQuery Ajax post data?

Question

I have an HTML form and send data to php file when hitting submit button.

$.ajax({
    url: \"text.php\",
    type: \"POST\",
    data: {
        amount: amount,         


        

Answer 1

Try adding

header('Content-type: application/json');

At the top of your PHP script and see what you get back

Hope that helps!

Edit: Forgot to mention you should access your values like so: data.amount
