Sending Object Data from AJAX to PHP

Question

I\'m trying to send data to a php file to save in database, but I don\'t have any response. If a checkbox is check, the [obj][idCheckbox] = 1, else [obj][idCheckbox] = 0.

PHP is kind of interesting in that it doesn't pull from $_POST like other forms when Ajax is involved. You actually will need to read the input from php://input

Here is a tiny example

$data = file_get_contents("php://input");
$response = json_decode($data, true ); // True converts to array; blank converts to object

$emailAddr = $response["email"];

Hopefully you can apply that successfully.

Edit: You can add the filter_var command to strip bad characters and sanitize the input.

$emailAddr = filter_var($response["email"], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$firstName = filter_var($response["firstName"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

While debugging this I would highly recommend using Chrome's Developer mode with the 'network' tab. Find your ajax call near the bottom and you can view exact header info.
