Question

I recently asked this question:

Dynamically Query a Database to check for value

And I got an awesome and informative answer. But whenever I search on Google to find out more about ‘Ajax Requests’ the codes never look similar to the one provided. Also I have used another tutorial that used this, is it a shorthand? Or is it jQuery or what?

That horrible confusion, is messing up my ability so solve the following problem:

Sending the value of the field to the PHP script. I tried using something along the lines of::

$value = $GET['inputname']; 

but that does not seem to work. Could you please help? I am very adept in PHP but I am very new to javascript. THANKS!

Answer 1

$.get(url,{},verifyDb); 

is the jQuery ajax Get method. You can pass a parameter like this:

$.get(url,{inputname: 'value goes here'},verifyDb); 

$ is a shorthand for the jQuery object. I would familiarize yourself with the jQuery docs.
