How yo get the data from the url?

I am using AJAX in PHP and passing some data to the server through url. below is the code of the request that made.. ______________________________ xmlhttp.open("GET","abc.php?name=Alvin&age=12",true); ______________________________ where, abc.php is the another php file to which this request is made. and I want to get the URL data (name and age) in that file... how can I? should I go for $_GET?

If you want to get the query string there is a fairly easy way: https://www.sitepoint.com/url-parameters-jquery/

it depends on how the data is sent through the ajax request $.ajax ({ type: "POST", url: "abc.php", data: { 'test' : item }, success: function(result) { console.log(result); } }); if your type is post,use $_POST and vice-versa

in php you should have something like... if( isset($_POST['test'])) { $data=$_POST['test'] } the "if" statement isnt necessary,just to ensure $data wouldn't be null

Are you trying to access the php file through browser without parameters or is that what you get as request response?

That’s weird. You can try to use onreadystatechange even handler and check if the status is 200 but I don’t think it makes any different.

yes I checked whether the get is set or not😣😣... and echo a message there.. something like this... if(isset($_GET['name'])) { echo ('recieved'); } else{ echo('failed'); } just checking the name field for now...the control enters in the if statement but when I use the get to get the data it shows... nothing😣😣
