Trouble with $.post
I am trying to insert some values into an sql database.
I am using
<input type="text" name="message" id="message" /> <input type="image" src="boca.png" onClick="send();" />
to get the value and
function send(){ var mess = $('#message').val(''); var dataString = 'message:'+ mess; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "atuamae.org/send.php", data: dataString, success: function() { $('#message').val(''); } }); }
to send it to the php file and in the php file:
$message = $_GET['message'];
I think the error occurs either in sending or in the way the var dataString is encoded

Simply enough, you're using the HTTP POST method, not the HTTP GET method, so you need to use $_POST rather than $_GET on the PHP side.
