emphasized texti need help creating an onclick() function for an tag, that when it is activated it writes to 3 different rows in an MSSQL DB.
Im trying to figure it out, but my knowledge is not that great, i know i might have to use AJAX for this work.
Using MSSQL 2017, PHP 7.1
MY end result is to create a Click counter, the name of the section clicked and the date/time it was clicked.
IF anyone can help me, i appreciated very much.
Thank you.
Thanks for the guidance!!!
Edit
test.php
$counterServer = "TEST\TEST";
$counterconnection = array( "Database"=>"TestingCounters","UID"=>"User","PWD"=>"1234","CharacterSet"=>"UTF-8");
$finalcon = sqlsrv_connect( $counterServer, $counterconnection);
if( !$finalcon ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$sequel = "INSERT INTO dbo.CounterTest(Visit,Date_Value,Section)
VALUES('1',getdate(),'Kitchen')";
and my dumb logic , but i later realized i dont need to use a button but an anchor.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<button action="test.php" method="post">click</button>
