单击按钮时使用PHP + jQuery

Question

I have a button on my page :

<button class="play"></button>

When I click on it, it launches the video via jQuery

$('.play').on('click',function(){
    player.play();
});

But I also want to add PHP code to save the user ID in the database when he clicks on that button.

How can I mix PHP & jQuery? I'm not used to Ajax, is it the solution?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Try using ajax

 $('.play').on('click',function(){
    player.play();
    $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "some.php",  // your php file name
      data:{id :"id"}, //pass your user id
     success:function(data)
    {
   if(data==true)
    alert("success");
else
  alert("error");
    }
    });
    }

some.php

<?php
$success=false;  //Declare and initialize a variable 

// do your code to update your database
//and check if the database is updated , if so set $success=true

echo $success;


?>
