I have this select box. The selected option is sent with ajax to a server side script.
<select id="main_select"> <option selected="selected" value="50">50</option> <option value="100">100</option> <option value="150">150</option> </select>
jquery script
$(document).ready(function() { $('#main_select').change(function() { $.ajax({ url: "itemscript.php", type: "post", data: { option: $(this).val() }, success: function(data) { $("#details").html(data); } }); }).change(); });
And in the server sided script (itemscript.php) I get the variable from the select box like that:
if(isset($_POST["option"])) { $itemlevel = $_POST["option"]; }
Now I want to extend this script to send an additional php variable called $element
to the server sided script (itemscript.php). The $element
variable is a part of the the current url address.
How can I send the additional $element
variable within this jquery/ ajax script?

Just add the other data items into the data{} part, separated by commas.
Assuming that your $element data is inside an inputbox, then
HTML
<input id="element"> <br> <select id="main_select"> <option selected="selected" value="50">50</option> <option value="100">100</option> <option value="150">150</option> </select>
$(document).ready(function() { $('#main_select').change(function() { $.ajax({ url: "itemscript.php", method: "POST", data: { option: $(this).val(), element: document.getElementById("element").value }, .success: function(data) { $("#details").html(data); } }); }).change(); });
In the above, $_POST[“element”] will be passed to your php scripts
