Zane Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Simply put, it is the use of javascript that allows a page to change instantly on a condition and/or user event. It allows you to asynchronously send and receive data from other scripts. jQuery is a framework for Javascript and is widely used. I suggest you look into jQuery as it is the solution to your problem.

Jessica Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Wow, I read that like 4 times and didn't get that OP wanted AJAX. Moving to JS forum Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/268156-the-best-way-to-do-this/#findComment-1376322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marginhound Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yup - you need two PHP pages. "main" - shows the form - submit button uses jquery to extract value from form and send ajax request to 2nd page "service" "service" - accepts an ajax request from "main" and returns appropriate data when data is returned to main, perform any required reformatting and use jquery to append to the display area (usually a div) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/268156-the-best-way-to-do-this/#findComment-1377151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
