I have created an edit form in which values are to be send in my codeigniter controller via ajax. The values in the form that are to be updated is passed using serialized function var curr_val = $("#edit_currency").serialize(); but the id of the values to be updated is not included in the serialize method and is just passed to my javascript function via var curr_id = $("#curr_id").val(); The problem is I cannot successfully passed this 2 variable in ajax to be received in my controller function. There is no updating happens. How can I get this done? Thanks a lot. Here are my codes

View:

<?php
     //echo form_open('/display/student_update');
     foreach($curr_values as $row){


      echo"<input type='hidden' name='curr_id' id='curr_id'  value=".$row->id.">";
      ?>
      <form method="post" action="" id="edit_currency">
     <div class="row">

    });

    $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 600);

• What is the response you get from server, when you see it in the Developer tools? Cannot pass means your CI function is not executed at all or executed but you miss the values? – Nish Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 6:11

 $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "<?php echo base_url();?>currencies/update_currencies",
        data: curr_values + '&curr_id=' + curr_id,
        success: function(data)
        {
          if(data.notify=="Success"){
            console.log(data.notify);
          }
          else{
           console.log(data.notify);
          }


        }
    });

You converted the curr values to query string so you just need to concat the curr id as query string as well.
