Am I sending the request correctly?

Question

JavaScript

var name = $('#name').val();
$.ajax({
  url: "/api/user.php?action=getlogin&username=name",
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
    var data = data;
    if (data == '{status: 1}') {
    	alert('OK');
    }
  }
});

It always gives out that there is no such user, so I think it's right?
If there is any doubt in the line "url: "/api/user.php?action=getlogin&username=name", Am
I passing the name variable correctly? Or should I not pass it at all in this way?

Answer 1

var name = $('#name').val();
$.ajax({
  url: "/api/user.php",
  data: {'username' : name, 'action' : 'getlogin'},
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
    var data = data;
    if (data.status == 1) {
    	alert('OK');
    }
  }
});
