I am trying to post latitude and longitude values to a php file where I can store them in a variable and then save it into a database. But I am having trouble passing the values from js to the php file. Below I am posting snippets. The javascript is in the same html file. I have also included the jquery file in the head.
function showPosition() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'a.php',
data: {
latitude: latitude,
longitude: longitude
},
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
});
} else {
var latitude = "";
var longitude = "";
}
}<body onload="showPosition();"></body>Now in the file "a.php" I am trying to store these values in variables.
$lat = $_POST['latitude'];
$long = $_POST['longitude'];
echo $lat;
echo $long;
But the values are not getting passed from the javascript to the php. Where am I going wrong? Please help.
