jQuery update a Div with a PHP script
11,619
For simple ajax calls, I normally prefer using $.load as its grammar is extremely concise. Passing parameters as an object (key/value pairs) will cause it to use a POST request:
<a href="no-script.php" class="something">Click!</a>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.something').click(function(e) {
//prevent the href from being followed
e.preventDefault();
//inject div.classname with the output of send.php
$('div.classname').load('send.php', {param1: 'foo', param2: 'blah'});
});
});
If you don't need it to be a POST, you can just add your parameters as a query string:
$('div.classname').load('send.php?param1=' + param1 + '¶m2=' + param2);

I have absolutely no idea how to do this, so I'm just gonna go ahead and ask.
What I want to do is update the contents of a div with a PHP script I have in an external file, called send.php.
So I have a div like this:
<div class="classname"> </div>
And I want to post data to this send.php file, and then update that div with whatever the outcome of the PHP script is. Can this be done?
