Question

I have this code right here:

$('#add_club_button').click(function(){
    $('#add_club_button_ajax').show();
    $.post('<?php echo base_url()?>addClub/save',$('#add_club_form').serialize(),function(data){
        if(data == 'OK'){               
            //refresh
            $('#add_club_button_ajax').click(function() {
                      location.reload();
            });             

             $.unblockUI(); //unblock
            $('#add_club_button_ajax').hide();                  

        }
        //c(data);
    });     
});

What I want is to store the data I get from POST (e.g. id and name) to the database. My problem is that I don’t know how to get the data I get from POST.

Answer 1

If you plan to store to a server-side database, you need to use a server side language like PHP to accept your HTML POST variables, prepare them, and process them to the database.

<?PHP
mysql_connect('', '', '');
mysql_select_db('') or die("Could not connect to DB");

$variable = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['variable']);

$sql = mysql_query('INSERT INTO "table" ("variable", "") VALUES ("' . $variable . '", ""');
?>

Submit your HTML form to a php script containing something like my example above. There is no real need to use jQuery unless you are using it for other reasons than just submitting a form.
