Ajax: submit method

I'm used to using Ajax, however, the method I use usually requires that I request a php file that queries my database. The thing is that I need to call the php document this way:

http.open("GET", url, true);

I would rather use a "post" method instead of the "get" method - makes it easier to pass data to the target page. Is there a way to do so using Ajax?

Please help.

 

Hi,

You can use a get query quite easily with ajax, something like this.

	var query = "?getvar=" + $get_var;
	ajaxRequest.open("GET", "script.php" + query, true);
	ajaxRequest.send(null);

Of course change the settings to match yours but it should now let you see how it works.

http.open("POST", url, true);
http.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
http.onreadystatechange = your_function;
http.send('foo=bar&var2=x&etc=so on');
