How can i click a link for the programme to update database without leaving the page.

 

For example:

 

I have a button or link lets say it says "Update Number";

 

Then i wish it to UPDATE a field in my MYSQL database lets say its called "Number" with the new value of "3"

 

And all this happens without leaving the page nor opening a new page.

 

Thank you for reading

You need to use AJAX for that.
