[SOLVED] It still shows as GET while I use POST

Could you post a capx, UberDark, with your ajax request or a screenie of the events involving the ajax action.

In my network tab on the Chrome console, my requests show up as POST methods.

Fireche The username, password and database names will of course be changed once i figure it out hahaha What is PDO however?

Nowadays you should use PDO instead of mysqli or mysql: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php It's more safe and it's the future <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz"> Also never put SQL-Statements into your query.

You wrote in MYSQLI:

$stmt = $con -> prepare("SELECT id FROM members where username='$username' and password='$password'")

In PDO:

$stmt = $con -> prepare("SELECT id FROM members where username = :username and password = :password")

Fireche Cheers! Appreciate it

The POST should not be showing up as a GET, are you sure you do not have a stray GET request somewhere ?

I would not mind taking a look at the capx and testing it seeing if I get the same results. (If you like you can PM me a file)

After a lot of deduction together with lennaert we conclude Ajax seems to be misfiring the POST to url as GET..

Not sure why yet.
