I've been trying to post data using AJAX that will update a field in my database however I am having trouble doing so. Everything seems like it should run fine and I get no errors in the console but I've no idea why my db won't update.
Can someone help me out here please?
AJAX
:
function ajaxUpdate() {
var arr = {var1: name, var2: age};
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/confirm.php',
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(arr),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
console.log("success");
}
});
}
Confirm.php
:
$name=$_POST['var1'];
$age=$_POST['var2'];
if($name == "Stuart") {
mysqli_query($connection,"UPDATE people SET age='$age'");
}
else if($name == "Peter") {
mysqli_query($connection,"UPDATE people SET age='$age'");
}
The connection to my database is working as I have $connection
setup and went to the page /ajax/confirm.php
in my browser and I see "Connection successful" in my console as I defined if successful.
So I am unsure as to why this isn't updating?
Are my values not being posted correctly?
I'm new to AJAX so forgive me if this is something very simple!
Thanks
