This is my first time using AJAX. I'm Trying to write data from an HTML form to a phpmyadmin database. I'm using jQuery for the AJAX call. I suspect there's something wrong in the jQuery because I've included a Javascript alert
with echo
at the top of the registerUser.php
file and it won't appear when I attempt to run this code, so the PHP is not even running. No Javascript errors in the browser. I appreciate your insight.
function registerUserViaAjax() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "registerUser.php",
data: {
registerUsername: $('#registerUsername').val(),
registerPassword: $('#registerPassword').val(),
registerPassword: $('#registerEmail').val()
}
})
}
<label>Username</label>
<input class="w3-input" type="text" id="registerUsername">
<label>Password</label>
<input class="w3-input" type="password" id="registerPassword">
<label>Confirm Password</label>
<input class="w3-input" type="password" id="registerConfirmPassword">
<label>Email Address</label>
<input class="w3-input" type="text" id="registerEmail">
<button class="w3-btn w3-green" style="margin-top:3%;margin-bottom:3%" id="registerButton" onclick="registerUserViaAjax()">Go</button>
