更新记录而不刷新

Question

Apologies if this has been asked before but I'm not sure what to search for exactly so I thought it would be better to explain it.

I am using php to get records from a mysql table and present them. However I have added couple of dropdowns and search boxes to filter out the results and I would like to do it without refreshing the page. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or something like that? I guess I should use jQuery but as I said I don't know what to look for exactly.

Thank you!

You need to use AJAX at client side:

Here are few good examples:
