Hello,  
I want to prefix post\_name1 but failed  
How should I do  
sample: **prefix\_post\_name1** , as

```
function gonder(id, prefix){
	var message = "text";
            $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "gonder.php", 
              data: { prefix + "post_name1" : id, "post_name2" : message},
              success: function(data){ 
    }
})
}

```

Thank you

You’re trying to define an object with a variable key.

```auto
{ [prefix + "post_name1"]: id, "post_name2" : message}

```

Putting square brackets around the expression will work on most browsers.
