 * I’m receiving the variable to JavaScript, but not getting it back in PHP, and
   I think Its not being coded correctly in the JavaScript:
 *     ```
       function glitch_player_display(mix_name) {
       		alert(mix_name);
       		throb.start();
       		jQuery.ajax({
       			type: 'POST',
       			url: ajaxglitch_playerajax.ajaxurl,
       			data: {
       				action: 'ajaxglitch_player_ajaxhandler',
       				mix_name: mix_name
       			},
       			success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
       			throb.stop();
       				var showglitchplayer = '#showglitchplayer';
       				jQuery(showglitchplayer).html('');
       				jQuery(showglitchplayer).append(data);
       			},
       			error: function(MLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
       				alert(errorThrown);
       			}
       		});
       	}
       ```
   
 * This is the php:
 *     ```
       function ajaxglitch_player_ajaxhandler($arguments){
       	var_dump($arguments);
       }
       ```
   
 * returns empty.
