i want to redirect from page a to page profile and in between there is a post session on them. in this case let's say the data is variable $name in string. so far my code is like this on page a

            jQuery("#result").on("click",function(e){ 
            var $clicked = $(e.target);
            var $name = $clicked.find('.name').html();
            var decoded = $("<div/>").html($name).text();
            $('#searchid').val(decoded); 
            //the ajax script    
            $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'b.php',
            data: 'result='+$name,
            success: function() {
               window.location.href = "profile.php";  // replace
            }
            });      
            });  

and on page b the code is:

<?php echo $_POST['result']?>  

the oute should be the value from result in which determined on page a. but so there is an error message saying unidentified index. so where am i doing wrong?

• javascript

• jquery
• ajax

• 1 on which line it shows undefined index ? – Arun Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 11:14
• How does the html look? – Albin Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 11:15
• I tried this and it works fine for me. – Albin Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 11:22
• @Albin the error occured when i call the data on page profile. it is actually an autoplete search and when i click on the name, it directs me into the profile page. the above code is the click function. – user2891092 Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 11:32
• @Arun it shows on the profile page. it seems does not recognize the $_POST['result'] data – user2891092 Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 11:32

Could it be, that your data parameter is wrong? I have my ajax calls as folowing:

jQuery.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "b.php",
  data: {
    result: $name
  },
  success: function() {
    window.location.href = "profile.php";  // replace
  }
});

It is a new request after the redirect. In order to access the result you need to sotre it in som kind of session or pass it again.

You can pass it like this, then it will be in $_GET

success: function(data) {
  window.location.href = "profile.php?result="+data;  // replace
}
