JQuery Ajax Post - JSON works with GET but NOT with POST

Question

Hello All:

I am trying to send json string to the server using jquery ajax, as below. It decodes correctly when GET is used, but does not work when POST is used. Any suggestions?

 $.ajax({
 type: "GET",
  url: "../pssops21/php/insertTempTransData.php",
  data: 'data=' + strSelectedItems,
  dataType: 'json',
  async: false,
  success: handleresponse           
 });

Server side php:

$json = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['data']), true);

After the comments, I realize it is not an ajax post issue, but a decoding issue.

Thank you.

i think on the server side you need to have $_POST['strSelectedItems'] instead of $_POST['data'] .. or do a print_r($_POST) to get a clearer picture , i think the js is ok, but i am not a jquery expert.
