posting form and retieving posted data in another page using jquery

Question

Hi,

I am trying to post a form to another php page. The posted data is processed in the php page and page needs to be redirected to a new url.

1) Where do i give this code for posting the data to test.php. Do i have to call this in a function when the submit button is clicked?

 $.post("test.php", { name: "John", time: "2pm" } );

2) How do i retrieve the posted data in the test.php?

Thanks Prady
