So I sent this ajax request to php:

    $.ajax({

    url: "php/getInfo.php",

    type: 'POST',

    dataType: 'json',

    data: {

        lat: 51.4818048,

        log: -0.5275648

    },

    success: function(result) {

        console.log(result);

        if (result.status.name == "ok") {

            

        }   

    },



    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {}

})

this is the php:

<?php



    ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

    error_reporting(E_ALL);



    $executionStartTime = microtime(true) / 1000;



    $url=`https://api.opencagedata.com/geocode/v1/json?q=` . $_REQUEST['lat'] . `+` . $_REQUEST['log'] . `MY API KEY`;



    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);



    $result=curl_exec($ch);



    curl_close($ch);



    $decode = json_decode($result,true);    



    $output['status']['code'] = "200";

    $output['status']['name'] = "ok";

    $output['status']['description'] = "mission saved";

    $output['status']['returnedIn'] = (microtime(true) - $executionStartTime) / 1000 . " ms";

    $output['data'] = $decode['geonames'];

    

    header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8');



    echo json_encode($output); 

?>

I replaced the API key that I have, the problem is in the response for the data key I get null.

I know it might be a foolish question and I apologise in advance.

My Answer:
"example.php",
method: "POST",
data: {name: "John", age: 30},
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
}
});

And in my PHP file (example.php), I tried to get the values sent by Ajax like this:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];

echo "Name: " . $name . ", Age: " . $age;

But for some reason, the values are not being received by PHP. What could be the issue here?
