Execute php using jquery post - php

Question

I've tried to go to php file using jquery.
Here is my code.
This is index.php
$.post('test.php',data,function(json){},'json');
This is test.php
//set session variable from passed data
$_SESSION['data1'] = $_POST['data1'];
<script>
window.open('test1.php','_blank');
</script>
This is test1.php
echo $_SESSION['data1'];
But this code is not working.
I want to pass data from index.php to test1.php.
How can I do this? I don't want to use GET method because of too long url.
Anyhelp would be appreciate.

Answer 1

I am not quite clear from you explanation right now. But I am here trying to resolve you problem as you can use the jquery post method as follows :
$.post('test1.php',{param1:value1,param2=value2,...},function(data){
//Here you can take action as per data return from the page or can add simple action like redirecting or other
});
Here is a simple example of register :
$.post('', $("#register_form").serialize(), function(data) {
if (data === '1') {
bootbox.alert("You have registered successfully.", function() {
document.location.href = base_url + '';
});
} else if (data === '0') {
bootbox.alert("Error submitting records");
} else {
bootbox.alert(data);
}
$("#user_register_button").button("reset");
});

Try this:
$.ajax({
url: 'test.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {
myData : 'somevalue'
},
success: function(response){ // response from test.php
// do your stuff here
}
});
test.php
$myData = $_REQUEST['myData'];
// do your stuff here

I like use jQuery post a url like this.
$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $this = $(this);
$.ajax({
url: $this.attr('action'),
method: $this.attr('method'),
data: $this.serializeArray(),
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
})
});
