This is my first post. I have searched for other solutions and what I've found only deals with components of this question. Basically this is what I'd like to do:

  • Capture form data (tested, working);
  • Convert form data using serializeArray() or serialize() (tested both options, working and outputs to console correctly);
  • Send this information to the server through Ajax (not working); and
  • PHP saves array as a CSV (not yet started).

Bellow is the code I'm using. But first, here are some alternatives I've tried. Usually I get this: array(0) { }

  • 'dataType' as Json - returns error;
  • 'GET', 'POST' and 'REQUEST' - PHP shows empty array;
  • use form.serialize() - PHP shows empty array;
  • use form.serializeArray() - PHP shows empty array; and

  • var_dump($_POST), var_dump($_GET), var_dump($_REQUEST).

    var serialisedForm = $(form).serializeArray();

var serialisedData = JSON.stringify(serialisedForm);
console.log(serialisedData); //working
console.log(serialisedForm); //working

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "datacapture.php",
    data: {
        serialisedForm, //tested using serialisedData as well
    },
    success: function() {
        window.open('datacapture.php');
    },
    error: function() {
        alert("the form data has not been sent to the server");
    }
})

and here is the datacapture.php script I'm using to test the information flow.

<?php 

var_dump($_POST);

?>

EDIT - and here is a sample form item, reading .text and .name from my settings.json file:

<tbody>
                {
                this.props.settings.schemes[0].questions.map((q, i)=> {
                    return <tr><td>{q.text}</td><td><div class="YesNo"><input type="radio" required name={q.name} value="yes">Yes</input><input type="radio" required name={q.name} value="no">No</input></div></td></tr>
                })
                }
            </tbody>

just change 1seralisedForm1 to 1seralisedData1 it will return an json object to php which can be seen by doing:

echo json_decode($_POST);
