I would like to get the position object sent to php.

html:

onclick="name(event)">

js:

function name(e)
{
      $.ajax({
        url: '/...',
        type: 'post',
        data: {'x': JSON.stringify(e)}
      });
}

php:

json_decode($request['x'])->pageX; // doesn't work

How can I read the position of this object? I use laravel.

I don't understand what JSON has to do with this – rak007 Sep 16 '16 at 22:05

`var_dump(json_decode($request['x']));` – Charlotte Dunois Sep 16 '16 at 22:06

`JSON.stringify` doesn't return anything useful with event objects. Try `console.log(JSON.stringify(e))` and you'll see. – Barmar Sep 16 '16 at 22:16

Why don't you use `data: { x: e->pageX, y: e->pageY }` – Barmar Sep 16 '16 at 22:18
