send ajax request to php code example

Example 1: how to send data using ajax in php

$.ajax({
	url: "/something", // the url we want to send and get data from
    type: "GET", // type of the data we send (POST/GET)
    data: {p1: "This is our data"}, // the data we want to send
    success: function(data){ // when successfully sent data and returned
    	// do something with the returned data
   		console.log(data);
    }
}).done(function(){
	// this part will run when we send and return successfully
    console.log("Success.");
}).fail(function(){
    // this part will run when an error occurres
    console.log("An error has occurred.");
}).always(function(){
    // this part will always run no matter what
  	console.log("Complete.");
});

Example 2: ajax to php call

//Use $.ajax to call a server context (or URL, or whatever) to invoke a particular 'action'. What you want is something like:

$.ajax({ url: '/my/site',
         data: {action: 'test'},
         type: 'post',
         success: function(output) {
                      alert(output);
                  }
});
//On the server side, the action POST parameter should be read and the corresponding value should point to the method to invoke, e.g.:

if(isset($_POST['action']) && !empty($_POST['action'])) {
    $action = $_POST['action'];
    switch($action) {
        case 'test' : test();break;
        case 'blah' : blah();break;
        // ...etc...
    }
}
