AJAX Update Table, MySQL

How would I use AJAX to update a table in my database by clicking a link or image?

Learn how to do it without AJAX first, then it's a very simple and easy step to Ajaxify it. There are thousands of tutorial out there to help you, so many it'd be pointless me linking you to some when a 10 second Google search will yield much more information.

I can do it without AJAX but it's kinda sloppy. But I have no idea where to start. Can you point me in the right direction?

You could link to the page with $_GET


You can then link to:

page.php?update=yes

That's a quick base than can be expanded upon.

well that would still include having to go to another page...AJAX can do it without having to leave the page.

That would work but I want to get started in AJAX.

I can't find a SINGLE tutorial on how I could mysql with ajax. Please help me.

Did you even search google? The third result for PHP AJAX yielded this:

(It took a really long time to load for me, because of all the comments.)

Anyway, good luck.

I suggest you take a look at "Xajax". Google it up and you should be able to find their homepage. Xajax provides a very nice bridge for PHP coders like me who want to have AJAX capabilities without having to learn the AJAX part!
