I was following the blog post about how to make an AJAX-enabled Calendar (http://keighl.com/post/expressionengine-dynamic-calendar-using-jquery/) and I faced a problem with $POST output.
I am using Solspace calendar though but the problem seems to be that the POST parameters are being sent but ain’t being output.

Here’s my page1, which sends POST request: http://vulichenko.ru/theater/copy (the source is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/361607/copy.php)
Here’s my page2, which contains PHP script and a calendar tag: http://vulichenko.ru/inc/mini (the source is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/361607/mini.php)

Here’s my JS:

$(document).ready(function(){

    var month = 04;
    var year = 2012;

    render_calendar(month,year);

    function render_calendar(month,year) {
        $.post(
            "http://vulichenko.ru/inc/mini",
            { month : month, year : year },
            function(str) {
                $('#mc_wrap').html(str).fadeIn();
            }
        );
    }

   
});

Here’s my php:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['month'])) :
    $month = $_POST['month'];
    $year = $_POST['year'];
else :
    $month = date('m');
    $year = date('Y');
endif;
?>

The result is that the calendar alwasy shows the current month (not the April as in POST request)

The problem is even if I try to just output the POST or GET requests (without any calendar tags), the output is empty (please see the screenshots:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/361607/Screenshots/28.png
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/361607/Screenshots/27.png
(ARRAY’s are the result of test tags used to test php output:

<?php print_r($_POST);?>
<?php print_r($_REQUEST);?>

The PHP in inc/many template is turned on input. But it looks like PHP cannot fetch any requests (POST or GET).

I will highly appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Some of this is a little over my head, but is this add-on any use? http://www.eevolution.co.uk/products/evopost

Try the following:

<?php

if (isset($this->EE->input->post('month'))) :
    $month = $this->EE->input->post('month');
    $year = $this->EE->input->post('year');
else :
    $month = date('m');
    $year = date('Y');
endif;
?>

Thanks a lot but I have no form so this plugin doesn’t help me :(

Try the following:

<?php

if (isset($this->EE->input->post('month'))) :
    $month = $this->EE->input->post('month');
    $year = $this->EE->input->post('year');
else :
    $month = date('m');
    $year = date('Y');
endif;
?>

Thanks Mike!
Unfortunately it leads to the calendar to not render at all :(

Ohh, now I’ve got it!
Looks like I’ve dropped “index.php” from the URL for the POST 😊) It’s because I am using NSM htaccess generator, I’ve totally forgot that I still need to use the index.php in such occasions 😊)

Although it still gives month = 4 instead of month = 04, but I guess this is not EE’s fault 😊

Thanks everyone for your help 😊)

Hey Lyubov,
