I have an issue where I am trying to send data to my server using AJAX in PHP. Even though I have set the method as POST, it seems to be executing as a GET request instead. Here is the code snippet:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: {
user: user
},
url: url,
crossDomain: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
},
error: function (error) {
alert(error)
}
});
In PHP:
<?php
$user = $_POST["user"];
echo $user;
?>
However, changing $_POST to $_GET makes it work correctly. What could be causing this discrepancy between what I specify in the AJAX call and how the server processes the request?
