For some reason the post value isn't being shown even tho in var_dump it shows that it's there.

You can see that the $_POST["ajaxMonth"] has a string value of "2" in the first image however when I echo it, it has nothing as show in the second image. Here is my php

$ajaxMonth = $_POST["ajaxMonth"];
$ajaxYear = $_POST["ajaxYear"];

var_dump($_POST);

echo '<div class="day">'. $ajaxMonth .'</div>';

$ajaxMonth = $_POST["ajaxMonth"];
$ajaxYear = $_POST["ajaxYear"];

var_dump($_POST);

echo '<div class="day">'. $ajaxMonth .'</div>';

Here is my Ajax

// Show the days with events if there is events in that certain day
    $(".days").load('model/showDayCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxPrevLastDayNum:prevLastDayNum, ajaxLastDayWeekday:lastDayWeekday, ajaxLastDayWeekDate:lastDayWeekDate, ajaxFirstDayNumber:firstDayNumber, $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

// Show the days with events if there is events in that certain day
    $(".days").load('model/showDayCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxPrevLastDayNum:prevLastDayNum, ajaxLastDayWeekday:lastDayWeekday, ajaxLastDayWeekDate:lastDayWeekDate, ajaxFirstDayNumber:firstDayNumber, $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

you've got a superfluous $ in the variable name I'm guessing your name attribute in your input tag is something like name="$ajaxYear" or something?

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

no, the the $_POST["ajaxMonth"] is from the ajax itself.

Jochem•9mo ago

in the screenshot, the key is called "$ajaxMonth"

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

yes, thats from the ajax $ajaxMonth:month

Jochem•9mo ago

I'm saying if your var_dump shows $ajaxMonth as a key, and you're accessing the key ajaxMonth on $_POST, those are not the same thing try $ajaxMonth = $_POST['$ajaxMonth'];

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

dosen't work

Jochem•9mo ago

how are you submitting your POST?

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

by ajax

Jochem•9mo ago

can you share how you populate that?

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

like this one?

$(".days").load('model/showDayCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxPrevLastDayNum:prevLastDayNum, ajaxLastDayWeekday:lastDayWeekday, ajaxLastDayWeekDate:lastDayWeekDate, ajaxFirstDayNumber:firstDayNumber, $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

$(".days").load('model/showDayCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxPrevLastDayNum:prevLastDayNum, ajaxLastDayWeekday:lastDayWeekday, ajaxLastDayWeekDate:lastDayWeekDate, ajaxFirstDayNumber:firstDayNumber, $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

There was another one that worked I made. The values were shown there, however I can't use this one since there for different things

$('.events').load('model/loadCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxDay:Number(date), $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

$('.events').load('model/loadCalendarEvents.php', {ajaxDay:Number(date), $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year});

why is the $ there on ajaxMonth in this snippet?

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

thats what my teacher put as for the name.

Jochem•9mo ago

try removing the $ sign there?

kingtigerknightOP•9mo ago

dosen't work. I know that it works tho because in the 2nd snippet it's the same name but it works.

Jochem•9mo ago

then I don't know. The most obvious thing here is that the key in the vardump ($ajaxMonth) doesn't match the key you're accessing (ajaxMonth). If that's not it, I'm blaming gremlins.

ἔρως•9mo ago

i second this $ajaxMonth:month, $ajaxYear:year <-- this is the issue you have to remove the $ from the name also, make sure that you're actually sending what you expect to receive
