can javascript input data send to server php when click submit button?

Below is the case:

I have create a small button for user to click. when user clicked the small button, it will show the "div". Inside the "div" have a html submit button and an input textbox . When user input the text and click submit button. I would like to send the data to my mysql.

The problem i have met is how to send the data to my mysql when submit button is clicked? I have no idea, since all the time i'm using php to send data to update mysql.

Is there any similiar example for me to reference?

If i understand you correctly, you are using javascript to display the div, correct? Why not simply do something like this

<div id="hidden-div">

<form action="formProcessing.php" method="post">

<input type="text" name="data">
<input type="submit">

</form>

</div>

You use php to deal with the form and javascript to show/hide the form.

I would use JQuery. There are some nice .show() hide() that makes it super easy to do.
