How to post li values through serialize using ajax.

Hi, Thanks in advance. I want to post li values through serialize using ajax.

My code is: <script> $(document).ready( function() { $("#sortme").sortable({ update : function () { serial = $('#sortme').sortable('serialize'); $.ajax({ url: "sort.php", type: "post", data: serial, success: function(data){ $('#result').html(data); }, error: function(){ alert("theres an error with AJAX"); } }); } }); } ); </script>

<ul id="sortme">

<?php include_once("db.php"); // Getting menu items from DB $select = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM drag ORDER BY position ASC"); foreach($select as $row){

echo '<li id="menu_' . $row['id'] . '">' . $row['title'] . "</li>\n"; } ?>

</ul>

<!-- sort.php -->

<?php include_once("db.php"); $menu = $_POST['menu'];

for ($i = 0; $i < count($menu); $i++) { $conn->query("UPDATE drag SET position=" . $i . " WHERE id='" . $menu[$i] . "'"); } ?>

How the term "menu" is coming to sort.php page ???
