PHP saving to MySQL missing characters

EDIT FUNCTION - passes values to edit.php...

currentPage.EditItem = function(id) {
if (confirm('Are you sure?')) {
    console.log("DetailPage :: edit");
	var itemm = $("#itemm").val();
    var amount = $("#amount").val();
    var statuss = $("#statuss").val();
	var Uid = localStorage.getItem("Uid");
	
	 if (itemm == "") {
        alert("Please enter item");
    } else if (amount == "") {
        alert("Please enter amount");
    } else if (statuss == "") {
        alert("Please enter status");
    } else {
        $.ajax({
            type:'POST',
            url:'http://www.mywebsite.com/edit.php',
            data:{'Uid':Uid,'itemm':itemm,'amount':amount,'statuss':statuss},
            success: function(data) {
                alert("Edit item success");
                window.location.href = "uploadtest.html"	
            },
            error: function() {
                alert("Edit user failure");
            }

            });
};
}
};

PHP

[PHP]$itemm_id = $_POST;
$itemm_itemm = $_POST;
$itemm_amount = $_POST;
$itemm_statuss = $_POST;

$qry = "UPDATE balancetable SET itemm = '$itemm_itemm', statuss = '$itemm_statuss', amount = '$itemm_amount'
WHERE id ='$itemm_id'";

if (!mysqli_query($con,$qry))
{
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
}
echo "success";[/PHP]


Issue is the statuss field....when record is updated it's only the first two or three characters that are saved.....other fields are fine...I changed column name to statuss from status thinkin that might help but to no avail...
I have all this working perfectly without using ajax....which has me thinking the issue is with the parameters being passed from ajax rather than the PHP ...
Any thoughts?

Can you post the details of the table and the columns e.g. are the varchar columns only 2 or 3 char long?

Columns:
id: int
itemm: varchar(50)
amount: int
statuss: varchar(50)

As I said it's only via ajax PHP that this happens to the statuss column...
Values for column are credit, debit or visa.
Only 'cr' or 'de' is being saved....sometimes only 'v' too.
Driving me insane..

Well I sorted it....

Weird one...

I was using Ripple Emulator ... once I switched back to normal view all was good....really weird..week of my life wasted...

Thanks all
