How To insert data into database using PHP Ajax

Insert data into MySQL using jQuery ajax without page refresh. Today we are going to learn how to to submit a sample form in PHP and store data into MySQL database using jQuery ajax.

Follow below step to insert data into database using PHP Ajax

Step 1 – Create Database And Table

CREATE DATABASE developer_db;
 
CREATE TABLE `customers` (
  `id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL
  `created_date` date DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Step 2 – Create ajax.php and insert below code

<?php
    mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("cannot connect");
    mysql_select_db("prodchecklist") or die("cannot select DB");
    // CLIENT INFORMATION
    $fname = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['fname']));
    $lname = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['lname']));
    
    $addClient = "INSERT INTO tbluser (username,userpassword) VALUES ('$fname','$lname')";
    mysql_query($addClient) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Step 3 – Create index.php and insert below code

<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
<script src="lib/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script src="javascripts/jquery.validate.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$("form#submit").submit(function() {

$(".error").hide();

$("#loader").show();
$("#loader").fadeIn(400).html('<img src="ajax-loader.gif" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;<span class="loading">Loading Comment...</span>');

var hasError = false;
// we want to store the values from the form input box, then send via ajax below
var fname     = $('#fname').attr('value');
var lname     = $('#lname').attr('value');

if(fname == ''){
$("#fname").after('<span class="error">Please enter a First name</span>');
$("#loader").hide();
hasError = true;
}

if(lname == ''){
$("#lname").after('<span class="error">Please enter a Last name</span>');
$("#loader").hide();
hasError = true;
}
if(hasError = false){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ajax.php",
data: "fname="+ fname +"& lname="+ lname,
success: function(){
document.getElementById('fname').value='';
document.getElementById('lname').value='';

$("#loader").hide();

}
});
}
return false;
});
});

</script>

</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<form id="submit" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Enter Information</legend>

<label for="fname">Client First Name:</label>
<input id="fname" class="text" name="fname" size="20" type="text">
<br>
<br>
<label for="lname">Client Last Name:</label>
<input id="lname" class="text" name="lname" size="20" type="text">
<br>
<br>
<button class="button positive"> Add Client </button>
</fieldset>
</form>
<div class="success" style="display: none;">Client has been added.</div>
</div>

<div id="loader" align="left"></div>

</body>
</html>

In the above code we have created HTML and also in the same file write $.ajax which help us to call ajax.php file and do the insert data into database activity.
