Error Jquery ajax method post but POST empty

Question

I have set method type as post but in Save.php I just get values either in $_GET or $_REQUEST but not in $_POST.

$.ajax({
    method: "post"
    , url: "save.php"
    , data: "id=453&action=test" 
    , beforeSend: function(){

    } 
    , complete: function(){ 
    }  
    , success: function(html){ 
        $("#mydiv").append(html);        
    }
});

My form looks like:

<form method="post" id="myform" action="save.php">

It was not working, looked around here and on Google, tried adding enctype

<form method="post" id="myform" action="save.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

but still $_POST empty

How do I make it work?

Hello @kartik,

Instead of method: "post" you need to use type: "POST"

So this should work without any alterations to your form HTML:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST"
    , url: "save.php"
    , data: "id=453&action=test" 
    , beforeSend: function(){

    } 
    , complete: function(){ 
    }  
    , success: function(html){ 
        $("#mydiv").append(html);        
    }
});

Hope this is helpful!!

Thank you!!
