I can't get PHP to read text sent via Ajax.

<!-- Button to trigger modal -->

$("#btnOpen").click(function () {

$.ajax({

role="button" data-slide="prev">

<span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
</a>

role="button" data-slide="next">
<span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Next</span>
</a>
</div>
When I click the button, I get the message Sending data from Ajax, the slider shows no error, but the text in the div where PHP is supposed to read the Post shows the error:
Note: Undefined index: data in...
