How to get the jquery variable from one php file into another?

Question

I need to pass a jquery variable from one PHP file to another.

for this, I am posting the variable into the server using ajax in page1.php and getting the variable from the server using PHP in page2.php

In page1.php,

$.ajax({
      url: "page2.php",
      type: "POST",
      data:{"myDat":activeCount}
}).done(function(data) {
      console.log(data);
});

In page2.php,

<?php 
     $data1 = isset($_REQUEST['myDat'])?$_REQUEST['myDat']:"";
     echo $data1;
?>

I am getting the ajax code (console.log(data)) get printed on the console.

But I am not getting the data in PHP (echo $data1)

Can anyone please help?

use $_POST, not $_REQUEST. and var_dump($_POST); exit on your PHP script so you can check data is being received ok — delboy1978uk

Since console.log(data) shows the page2 response, the echo $data1 clearly must have gotten through. Try to debug a bit further / and reexplain what issue you see. — mario

I think you want session with that.

Update page2.php. Try:

<?php
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['myDat'] = isset($_SESSION['myDat']) ? $_SESSION['myDat'] : "";
    $_SESSION['myDat'] = isset($_POST['myDat'])?$_POST['myDat']:$_SESSION['myDat'];
    echo $_SESSION['myDat'];
?>

I have also tried, <?php $data1 = $_POST['myDat']; echo $data1; ?> Still, its not working

Girish Ninama Over a year ago

so you have tried to print out $_POST array still not getting any result than it might be problem with your ajax call please open up console and > go to network and try to make ajax call and check it will post myDat varible or not

Hi. I can get the variable "myDat" printed in the console in page1.php. But I cannot receive it in page2.php using the php code

When I load page2.php, it doesn't display the variable.
