How to POST using AJAX?

[hola]

I have a simple form

 

<form name=myForm>

<input type="text" name="username" />

<input type="submit" value=Submit />

</form>

 

<?PHP

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$username=$_POST['username'];

$fields = array(username);

$values = array($username);

$db->insert($fields,$values,'customer');

echo "data added";

}

?>

 

I want to insert data to database table using POST method. How do i do that using ajax?

You might want to consider using the Prototype JavaScript framework. Get it here: http://www.prototypejs.org

 

They also have a guide on using AJAX so read up on that. It will make things a lot easier since you don't need to worry about different browsers using different protocols.

Hi,

 

Making AJAX POST request is very easy if you are aware of simple ajax stuff.

 

    http_request = new XMLHttpRequest(); //XMLHttpRequest method has to be defined to create xmlHttprequest

    http_request.onreadystatechange = function() {s=alertContents(http_request)};

    frmstr='name=priti?age=25&gender=f&job=yes&designation=developer';

    http_request.open('POST', "./tests.php", true);

    http_request.send(frmstr);

 

And if you don't want to use this go for jquery ajax.It is easy and smooth.
