Having trouble passing one parameter through jQuery.ajax()

Hey All,

I am currently running a working script with php and jQuery, there is only one issue. When I try to pass the parameter "query" through it is not being captured.

Here is my jQuery:

jQuery.ajax({     type: "GET",
     url: '/zipcodesearch',
     data: "query = '07030'",
     async: false,
     beforeSend: function(x) {
      if(x && x.overrideMimeType) {
       x.overrideMimeType("application/j-son;charset=UTF-8");
      }
 },
 dataType: "json",
 success: function(data){

Code (markup):

The function is calling success, just not passing this variable through. I have also tried sending it in JSON format as well, no luck

The PHP is very simple, just a db collection...

$data = $_GET['data'];

        $sql = "SELECT id, zip, city, state
            FROM postal_codes 
            WHERE 
                zip = '".$data."'";

Code (markup):

I know it has to be simple, if someone could please look thanks!

 

Can you try this

data: {query : '07030' },

Code (markup):

 

No luck... I'm seeing query=07030 on the url when it is being called, but for the life of me... I can't understand why it is not being set!

 

My apologies... This was working prior... I was needing to use a POST variable.. THANKS!
