jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP | Send data using PHP and AJAX

Today, we’re going to explore the concept of AJAX with PHP and JavaScript. The AJAX technique helps you to improve your application's user interface and enhance the overall end user experience.

Let’s look at an example to understand how you could use AJAX in your day-to-day application development. Say you want to build a page that displays a user's profile information, with different sections like personal information, social information, notifications, messages, and so on.

The usual approach would be to build different web pages for each section. So for example, users would click the social information link to reload the browser and display a page with the social information. This makes it slower to navigate between sections, though, since the user has to wait for the browser to reload and the page to render again each time.

On the other hand, you could also use AJAX to build an interface that loads all the information without refreshing the page. In this case, you can display different tabs for all sections, and by clicking on the tab it fetches the corresponding content from the back-end server and updates the page without refreshing the browser. This helps you to improve the overall end-user experience.

I want to say thank you for your tutorial! I have been trying to figure out why my data from my input field was not posting to my PHP script and I tried everything with getting help with AI and looking up everything in documentation. I was also stuck on the "." in front of the value field and I'm glad I watched it all the way through. You made my day bro!

Thank you so much! I had the same issue with posting data in PHP (before adding jQuery everything worked, but with jQuery I just stuck), your tutorial really helped me!
