The purpose of this article is to send dynamic key-value pairs to the PHP back-end using jQuery AJAX in an HTML document.

Create two input fields i.e one for a key and the second one for value, and a button (to send key-value pair) in an HTML document. Assign a unique id to both the fields and to the button. In the JavaScript file, add an event listener to the button i.e click. On clicking of the button, a request is made to PHP file using jQuery Ajax. 

HTML Code: The following code is for structure.

index.html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
     
    <meta name="viewport" 
          content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
      
    <!-- CSS file -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  
    <!-- jQuery Ajax CDN -->
    <script src=
    </script>
      
    <!-- JavaScript file -->
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
  
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Dynamic Key Value Pair</h1>
  
        <!-- Input Field for key -->
        <input type="text" name="key" id="key" 
               placeholder="Enter Key">
        <br>
  
        <!-- Input Field for value -->
        <input type="text" name="value" id="value"
               placeholder="Enter Value">
        <br>
  
        <!-- Button to send key value pair -->
        <button type="button" id="btn">
            Send Data
        </button>
    </div>
</body>
  
</html>


CSS Code: The following code is the content for the file “style.css” used in the above HTML code.

.container {
  border: 1px solid rgb(73, 72, 72);
  border-radius: 10px;
  margin: auto;
  padding: 10px;
  text-align: center;
}
  
h1 {
  margin-top: 10px;
}
  
input[type="text"] {
  padding: 10px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 10px;
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  font-size: larger;
}
  
button {
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #167deb;
  border-color: #0062cc;
  font-weight: bolder;
  cursor: pointer;
}
  
button:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
  background-color: #0069d9;
  border-color: #0062cc;
}


JavaScript Code: The following code is the content for the file “script.js” file used in the above HTML code.

main.js




$(document).ready(() => {
  // Adding 'click' event listener to button
  $("#btn").click(() => {
    // Fetching key's input field data
    const key = $("#key").val();
  
    // Fetching values input field data
    const value = $("#value").val();
  
    // Initializing array of objects to 
    // store key-value pairs
    
    let data = {};
  
    // assigning key-value pair to data object
    data[key] = value;
  
    // jQuery Ajax Post Request
    $.post(
      "action.php",
      {
        data,
      },
      (response) => {
        // response from PHP back-end
        alert(`Response from sever side is: ${response}`);
      }
    );
  });
});


PHP code: The following is the code for the file “action.php” used in the above HTML code.

action.php




<?php
// Checking, if post value is 
// set by user or not 
if (isset($_POST['data'])) {
  // getting key-value pair object 
  // in $data variable
  $data = $_POST['data'];
  
  // Sending Response 
  echo "Success";
}
?>


Output:

dynamic key value pair
