Question

First time I am trying to use jquery ajax in my php code.
I have a collection of checkboxes. According to my checked checkboxes, the mysql query will be built and it will be showing in my page. Could you please help me how to go forward?

Thanks.

Look at the manual jQuery.ajax(). There you have several examples as well.

You must collect your checkboxes values and then send that to your PHP script

var cb1 = $('#checkbox1').attr('checked');
var cb2 = $('#checkbox2').attr('checked');
$.ajax({ type: 'POST',
         url: 'checkboxes.php',
         data: { checkbox1: cb1,
                 checkbox2: cb2 },
         success: function(response) {
                  // do something with response from PHP script
                 }
       });

See the jQuery API for more options you can use.

On the server side, you evaluate the $_POST variable as with any other request.
