Why is my ajax call resulting in this 500 error?

Question

I have an ajax call:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://localhost/kidsKnitsDB/edit.php",
    type: "post",
    data: id,
    beforeSend: function(response){alert('Sending');},
        success: function(response){ alert('success');},
        error: function(response){alert('failed');},
        complete: function(response){alert('finished');},
});

This result in a 500 server error that looks like this:

Request URL:    http://localhost/kidsKnitsDB/edit.php
Request Method:     POST

If anyone call help, it'd be greatly appreciated, I'm unsure why I'd be getting this. Also I'm curious if the url attribute should be as it is or if it should be ../edit.php? I imagine the way I have it is correct so that apache can interpret the php.

Answer 1

It was an undefined call in my php script that was the error. it was just a typo though.
