Here is the working code for you. To send ajax request to the same page you can keep url
parameter empty, which you are already doing. If you are trying to make the script behave differently when $_POST
has value then use isset
as I have used below.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sweets']))
{
echo $_POST['sweets'];
exit;
}
?>
<script>
$(function(){
$("select[name="sweets"]").change(function () {
var str = "";
$("select[name="sweets"] option:selected").each(function () {
str += $(this).text() + " ";
});
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: $("form#a").serialize(),
success: function(data){
jQuery(".res").html(data);
$('#test').html(data);
}
});
var str = $("form").serialize();
$(".res").text(str);
});
});
</script>
<div id="test">
</div>
<form id="a" action="" method="post">
<select name="sweets" >
<option>Chocolate</option>
<option selected="selected">Candy</option>
<option>Taffy</option>
<option>Caramel</option>
<option>Fudge</option>
<option>Cookie</option>
</select>
</form>
