I need to export a csv file from fusion charts and pass the data to a cake
controller function via javascript/jquery.

*HTML*
<li><a href="javascript:void(0)" id="*downloadCsv*"
class="userFunctionsButton">Download CSV</a></li>

*JS*
$(function(){
    $('#*downloadCsv*').click(function(){
        var myChart = FusionCharts('myChartId3');

        var data = myChart.getDataAsCSV();

        data = data.replace(/"/g, '').replace(/\n/g, 'BREAK');
var url = PATH +'dashboard/getCsvReport/?'+ encodeURIComponent( data );

        window.location = url;
    });
});

*PHP*
function getCsvReport($chart_data){
           $filename = 'chart';

            $data = str_replace('/', "\n", $chart_data);

            header("Content-type: application/force-download");
            header("Pragma: no-cache");
            header("Expires: 0");
            header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".$filename.".csv\"");

            $this->layout = 'empty';
            $this->render('/ajax/empty');

            echo $data;
     }


The above only writes the first key value pair to the csv file. Turning on
the AllowEncodedSlashes in the apache config is not an option.

Any ideas? References for sending post data as a form submission or ajax
request.

Thank you in advance.
