How to get server-side parameters using jQuery UI remote?
<p>I have a php ajax script that is getting called by some jQuery, and I can not seem to get the parameters that are being passed.  Here is the example I am working from: <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote</a></p>

<p>In my php side, I did something like this just to see what my parameters are:</p>

<pre><code>error_log ("1) ".var_dump($_GET));
error_log ("2) ".var_dump($_POST));
error_log ("3) ".var_dump($_REQUEST));
</code></pre>

<p>But they all return empty.  Can that be? How can I get at the parameters that are being passed?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Here is my js:</p>

<pre><code>$(function()
{
$( "#birds" ).autocomplete({
    source: "/problems/get_categories_ajax.php",
    minLength: 2,
    select: function( event, ui ) 
    {
        log( ui.item ?
            "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id :
                "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
    }
});
</code></pre>
