How to dynamically pass keys for data option in ajax call? - php

Question

I'm trying to pass dynamically keys for data option into ajax call.
data:{action:'add',id:10},
Actually I'm trying to create global function, which can be use for all tables for disable the specific rows onClick event. For that purpose I need to add different actions and table column names for calling php function. So i want to pass keys also as well as values.
JS Function
function globalDisable(id,table_column,call_action){
// call_action is use for calling the related php function
// table_column is use for calling the column name of that table
action_parm = {call_action:'disable',table_column:id}
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'post.php',
data:action_parm,
success: function(response){
}
});
}
Call JS Function
onclick="return globalDisable(10,'user_id','disableUser');"
Php Script
$disableUser = (isset($_REQUEST['disableUser']))? (string)$_REQUEST['disableUser']:'not';
if($disableUser != 'not'){
$response->disArea($user_id);
}
When I run the function, in console doesn't changing its remains same call_action=disable&table_column=10.
So is this possible to pass dynamically keys for data option in ajax call? I would like to appreciate if someone guide me regarding this. Thank You

Answer 1

Instead of action_parm = {call_action:'disable',table_column:id}, write:
var action_param = {};
action_param[call_action]='disable';
action_param[table_column]='id';

You are passing your action as a parameter to the function but then not using it in the ajax call
function globalDisable(id,table_column,call_action){
// call_action is use for calling the related php function
// table_column is use for calling the column name of that table
//action_parm = {call_action:'disable',table_column:id}
var action_parm = {call_action: call_action,
table_column: table_column,
user_id: id};
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'post.php',
data:action_parm,
success: function(response){
}
});
}
You could do this like this, maybe you will find it easier to read
function globalDisable(id,table_column,call_action){
// call_action is use for calling the related php function
// table_column is use for calling the column name of that table
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'post.php',
data:{ call_action: call_action,
table_column: table_column,
user_id: id
},
success: function(response){
}
});
}
Also in the PHP you are testing for the wrong parameter in $_REQUEST
$disableUser = (isset($_REQUEST['call_action']))? (string)$_REQUEST['call_action'] : 'not';
if($disableUser != 'not'){
$response->disArea($user_id);
}
