ajax with jquery

Hey there,

Apperantly there is not ! However it is not that difficult:

Here is the jQuery documentation: https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

$.ajax({
  type: "POST", // The type of submitting your data , POST will probably be the one you'll need
  url: "some.php", // The URL to the file you are trying to get output from
  data: { name: "John", location: "Boston" } // The data you want to submit with it
})
  .done(function( msg ) { // This function will be executed when the status of the result is code 200.
    alert( "Data Saved: " + msg ); // Here is pretty clear what happens, also 'msg' is the result of the "some.php" file with the supplied data.
  });

To make this answer complete: the some.php file would contain something like this:

if(isset($_POST['name'] && $_POST['location'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
if($name == 'John' && $location == 'Boston'){ // Here you probably do some DataBase thingie
 echo 'Yay you are John from Boston';
} else {
 echo 'Sorry you are not John from Boston';
}
}

Good luck !

Hi cristian bolea

An AJAX course is in the works! I'll be teaching it and it will cover jQuery with AJAX (as well as plain old JavaScript and AJAX). Look for it in a month.

Love the tutorials and setup of the courses you have here. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you guys created the "tracks" as now I know a route to take to build a website with Ruby on Rails. I've spent so much time researching on the path to take and so you guys did it for me.Not only that, you guys are up to date and you don't have a billion courses to choose from; just the new and good stuff to know. Sometimes too many options is worse than not enough. These 2 points tipped me into signing up with you guys. Dave, hurry the hell up with the AJAX course. I'm excited to learn about it.

Dave McFarland Thank you :)
