Read JS variables in php

Question

I am using the following to get js variables to a php file. The alert seems to be given the correct data.

   var str =  $("form").serialize();
        alert('test '+str);
        //console.log('test '+str);
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url: "saveData.php",
            data: str,

and i the php file i tried

echo 'Test name: '.$_REQUEST["name"];//only got the test name

also print_r($_REQUEST);

and even tried

$values = array();
parse_str($_REQUEST['str'], $values);
print_r($values);

But without succes, any tips or info?

What is the value of str?

data should be done as follows:

   var str =  $("form").serialize();
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url: "saveData.php",
            data: {name: str},

This way you should be able to obtain the value in PHP via $_REQUEST["name"]
