title: jquery ajax post success function variable
body: <p>The code below is working fine (values are inserted into database in php page), except that I don't get back the variable in the alert.  Instead, the alert box starts spitting out an HTML page code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var dataString = 'amID=' + amID  + '&amp;aFname=' + aFname  + '&amp;aLname=' + aLname  + '&amp;aMi=' + aMi  + '&amp;aDegree=' + aDegree  + '&amp;aEml=' + aEml + '&amp;aAdd=' + aAdd + '&amp;aCity=' + aCity + '&amp;aSte=' + aSte + '&amp;aZip=' + aZip + '&amp;aPhn=' + aPhn;
  
          $.ajax({
            async: false, 
            url: "create_invite_insert.php",
            data: dataString,
            success: function(data) {
  
              alert(data);
  
  
            }
          });
  </code></pre>
