Ajax post does not give value to php file, post becomes get - php

Question

I have this ajax function for login.
Edit: I just noticed that this server runs php7 while other server where the login does work uses php5. What has changed in php that this script doesn't work anymore?
Edit 2: Looks like the server request method isn't post but changed to get, why?
Solution: needed to remove the .php from url: "./ajaxcall/login.php", because I use pretty url htaccess.😅
var InName = $('#InName').val();
var InPass = $('#InPass').val();
alert(InName);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "./ajaxcall/login.php",
dataType: "json",
data: {InName:InName, InPass:InPass},
error: function (request, error) {
console.log(arguments);
alert("Inlog Can't do because: " + error);
},
success : function(data){
if (data.code == "200"){
$("#InErEr").html(data.msg);
//window.location.reload(true);
} else {
$("#InErEr").html(data.msg);
$('.lds-dual-ring').animate({opacity: 0}, 300);
}
}
});
On the alert(InName); I get the correct value of the username. But when I check in my php file $_POST['InName'] it is empty.
Part of php file
include('../config.php');
if(empty($_POST['InName'])) {
$Ierror = 'Username is required.';
}
if($_POST['InPass'] == '') {
$Ierror = 'Password is required.';
}
$username = $_POST['InName'];
$passwordL = $_POST['InPass'];
// count user in between //
if($Inlognumber_of_rows == 0) {
$Ierror = 'Username not found.';
} else {
// password check //
if(password_verify($salty_pass, $hashed_password)) {
} else {
$Ierror = 'Password incorrect.';
}
}
if ($Ierror == '') {
// do login //
} else {
$showerror = '<span style="color:#F00;">'.$Ierror.$username.$passwordL.$_POST['InName'].$_POST['InPass'].'</span>';
echo json_encode(['code'=>404, 'msg'=>$showerror]);
exit;
}
In the return message, $showerror I only get, Username not found, without the posted values. So the login is not working because of empty values? User is also present in the database of course. I also don't get the empty $_POST errors. So to cap up, in javascript I get the correct value for InName but not in php.

You are close but your error catch is not correct ... try this (Jquery):
var InName = 'something';
var InPass = 'morething';
$.post("./ajaxcall/login.php", {
InName: InName,
InPass: InPass
}, function(data, status) {
console.log(data, status);
}).done(function() {
alert("second success");
})
.fail(function() {
alert("error");
})
.always(function() {
alert("finished");
});
on your php file just do print_r($_POST); and you will receive this in your console...:
Array
(
[InName] => something
[InPass] => morething
)
success
Basically you were trying to print the error where you should have consoled log the request.responeText...
A good trick to know if posts arrived to the php even if the console.log won't show is doing this in the php file:
<?php
print_r($_POST) ;
$newfile = fopen('newfile.txt','a');
fwrite($newfile,json_encode($_POST));
fclose($newfile);
This will print and also store on a local file the post data....
