Pass data to database using javascript Onclick

Question

I am a real noob when it comes to javascript/ajax, so any help will be very appreciated. In reference to this question:

Updating a MySql database using PHP via an o

Answer 1

The simplest example I can think of is this. Make your AJAX call in your if block like this:

$.get('updatescore.php', {'score': '222'}, function(d) {
    alert('Hello from PHP: ' + d);
});

On your "updatescore.php" script, just do that: update the score. And return a plain text stating wether the update operation was successful or not.

Good luck.

P.S.: You could also use POST instead of GET.
