I am using the .post ajax method on a form. I use the following jquery code:

$("form#changeinfo").submit(function(){
$.post("ownerdetails.php", {
name: $("#name").val() });
});

So when the form with the id of changeinfo is submitted it posts information to ownerdetails.php. But when I write my php in ownerdetails.php and try to get the value of name it doesnt work. my php is simple just to test:

$name = $_POST['name'];
echo $name;

This does nothing even though there is a value in the field. Its as if nothing is posted to the server. Any ideas?

might be that name is reserved, also added a return false in the function submitting the form

use firebug to view results

try:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <title>jquery post</title>
    <script src="http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {

        /// *
$("#formTest").submit(function(){
$.post("jquery-ajax-post.php", {
name: $("#myvar").val() });
return false;// stop the form send via normal action
});
    });
    // ]]>
    </script>
</head>
<body>

    <div>
        <form id="formTest" action="jquery-ajax-post.php" method="post">
            Message: <input type="text" name="myvar" id="myvar" value="Hello to you" />
            <input type="submit" class="submit" value="jquery post" />
        </form>
    </div>

</body>
</html>
