Trying to send URL values to .php file.

[mxbikerider]

Problem: I have a javascript onClick that runs a .php file behind the scenes using ajax xmlhttp.open. My php file doesn't see the values stored in the URL where the onClick link exists.

Question: How do I send URL values so my .php file can update mysql database with those values?

My url looks like: index.php?id=1&test=hello
My javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {

    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","bar_next.php",false);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>





My bar_next.php File



<?php
mysql_query("UPDATE members SET visited = CONCAT($_GET['id'],visited)
WHERE username = '$_COOKIE[user]'");

?>

If you send the ajax request as a GET then you need to append any paramaters to the url ajaxPbj.open(). If you want to send the request as a POST then you send the parameters in the ajaxObj.send() plus you would need to add a few extra lines of code.
