Answer 1

Get all ans with serialize function and pass to ans_file.php.

$('form').submit(function() {
 var ans=$(this).serialize();
  $.ajax({
  type: "POST",
   url: "ans_file.php",
  data:ans
 }).done(function( msg ) {
 alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
 });
 return false;
});

I have some problems:
I made this php and is not inserting nothing, can you please tell me if I am missing
something?
Thanks!

<?php
$mysql_hostname = "localhost";

$prefix = "";
$bd = mysql_connect($mysql_hostname, $mysql_user, $mysql_password) or die("Opps some thing went wrong");
mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $bd) or die("Opps some thing went wrong");

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
$question1 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['question1']);
$question2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['question2']);
$question3 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['question3']);
