Ajax send data with string name - php

Question

I apologise if this was already answered, but I haven't found an answer in 70k+ results..
I want to send data like this:
function _post(params) {
var func = params['func']; // -> 'getUserDetails'
$.ajax({
url: "crossroad.php",
type: "post",
data: { func : params },
cash: false,
complete: function(respond){
console.log(respond);
}
});
}
m = {};
m['func'] = 'getUserDetails';
m['id'] = '123456';
_post(m);
But with this code, php gets
$_POST['func']
I want string that I am sending to be named as params['func'] and in this case I want to receive in php
$_POST['getUserDetails']
How can I achieve this ?

Answer 1

You need to create object
var requestParams = {};
And then setup it property like
requestParams[params['func']] = '';// your data to send
//or
requestParams[params['func']] = params['id'];// your data to send
And then put into ajax data property
data: requestParams,

The problem here is that func is a valid key identifier, so although you are expecting func to be substituted for the parameter you passed in, you are actually declaring a property of your data object called func.
To get around this issue, create a new object, and pass it in like this:
function _post(params) {
var func = params['func']; // -> 'getUserDetails'
var obj = {};
obj[func] = params;
$.ajax({
url: "crossroad.php",
type: "post",
data: obj,
cash: false,
complete: function(respond){
console.log(respond);
}
});
}

function _post(params) {
var func = params['func']; // -> 'getUserDetails'
var obj = {};
obj[func] = params['id'];
$.ajax({
url: "crossroad.php",
type: "post",
data: obj,
cash: false,
complete: function(respond){
console.log(respond);
}
});
}
m = {};
m['func'] = 'getUserDetails';
m['id'] = '123456';
_post(m);
