Question

I want to send the username and password values which user types in html input elements to server to check if the username and password is valid or not when user click login button, using post request in $.ajax(options) method in jquery.

But I don’t know how to send the username and password to server. What option should I write in the $.ajax(options) method to get those values from server?

Answer 1

You can do like:

$.ajax({
  url:'server-file-url.php',
  type:POST,
  data:$('form_id').serialize(), // this will get form fields
  success:function(res){
   alert(res);
  };
});

In the server file, you check the record of user in your db if it exists, you simply send back some response like 1 for success and 0 for failure and use that in the success arguments of the $.ajax function to take the appropriate action.
