I'm struggling with sending data from JavaScript to PHP using the $.post method, while also having conflicts with WordPress and using $J = jQuery.noConflict().
Here's what I have in my JavaScript:
$J = jQuery.noConflict()
x=1
$J.post('/the directory',{x: x}, function(data){
});
alert($J.cookie("y"));
In my PHP code:
if(isset($_POST['x']))
{
setcookie("y", 1);
}
else{
setcookie("y", -1);
}
Each time, y is set to -1, suggesting that x is not found in PHP. What am I missing?
Here's what I've tried so far, all without success:
- Connecting the post to different events (submit button press or page load)
- Moving the alert ($J.cookie("y")) within the function brackets
- Removing or adding the J before or after the $ in PHP
I suspect the issue may be caused by adding $J = jQuery.noConflict(). However, I've used other functionalities without any problems. Can you suggest a solution or guide me in the right direction? Thank you!
