Question

In an attempt to learn PDO I am using the sakila database to set up prepared inserts, selects, updates etc along with using a PDO connection in a class. I am using php and WAMP

What I am doing: I am trying to submit a form using the class and a method as the action. I also need to reference the class/method in the Ajax URL. Getting data from the class method to display is easy. I do not know how to use it with forms.

I have read/watched tons of tutorials but all reference the data coming into the class, but never how it got there from the form.

I know that to use a class in a page you must do it like this

$class=New Class();
$class->method();

How do you translate that to a form action and a URL in ajax?

<form action="CLASS/METHOD" method="POST" id="addmail">

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
    url: "CLASS/METHOD", 
    data: data,

Ive no problem with jquery, it is submitting the correct form inputs in an alert after serialization. I am just lost on this one action that I cant find the answer to any wheres.

Thank you for your consideration, I hope I presented this clearly

EDIT if this cannot be done with a class, could you just reference a function as in

action "<?php insert();?>" 

Answer 1

So as opposed in my comments, I’d go this way:

In Your index.php watch for URL like mentioned in comment above and if present (e.g. /user/create/) just instantiate new User and call it’s method create(). Nothing more trivial I could suggest. Better if You place that in some routes.php script where You can handle more of these actions…

PS: now I’m not sure why suggest this in answer when You decided to forget about classes and go with procedural PHP…

My opinion: Go with OO PHP, procedural PHP is relic.
