trying to POST data to a php file using ajax.

I am facing a 500 internal error.

However when I check using the developer options available in chrome, the post URL is perfect and so is the POST data.

I am using the following to print any post data

 <?php 
print_r($_POST);

But nothing turns up on the screen.

I believe if the error is due to invalid fields, at least some post data should be printed at the beginning of the php program.

Lost here, I picked up php today and am confused where to start on debugging too.

here is my ajax call:

AJAX call:

$.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: 'page/pagename.php',   
                    data: $('#general').serialize(),
                    success: function(html) {...}});

Look at your logs and enable error reporting. This is a server error. – Funk Forty Niner Nov 15 '18 at 15:06
Inspect the actual request in browser dev tools network also to see exactly what is being sent – charlietfl Nov 15 '18 at 15:12

Check your php script code, if error does not display on browser then add these lines at start of php script: ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); – Love Buddha Nov 15 '18 at 16:18
