Sending Multiple data to PHP page without reloading page - php

Question

Please I am new to jQuery so i just copied the code:
<div id="container">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Type here and press Enter">
</div>
<div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#name').focus();
$('#name').keypress(function(event) {
var key = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
if (key == 13) {
var info = $('#name').val();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "action.php",
data: {name: info},
success: function(status) {
$('#result').append(status);
$('#name').val('');
}
});
};
});
});
</script>
And here is the php code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
echo '<h1>'.$_POST['name'];
}
?>
Its Working perfectly but now i want to have more than one input field like this:
<input type="text" id="name" >
<input type="text" id="job">
but i don't know how to run the jQuery code for the 2 input fields so that it can transfer them to the php page. Please i need help

Answer 1

You can pass multiple values using data param of ajax request like this.
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "action.php",
data: {
name: $('#name').val(),
job: $('#job').val()
},
success: function(status) {
$('#result').append(status);
$('#name, #job').val(''); // Reset value of both fields
}
});

You need to change your code with some addition in html and JS.
Wrap your inputs in form tag. and add a preventDefault on submit.
Use jQuery .serialize() method
and event.preventDefault()
event.preventDefault() : If this method is called, the default
action of the event will not be triggered. (it will prevent page
reload / redirection) to any page.
.serialize() : Encode a set of form elements as a string for
submission.
serialized string output will be like key=value pair with & separated. :
name=john&job=developer.....
HTML
<form id="myform">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Type here and press submit">
<input type="text" id="job" placeholder="Type here and press submit">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form">
</form>
JS
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myform').submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var serialized = $('#myform').serialize();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "action.php",
data: serialized,
success: function(status) {
$('#result').append(status);
$('#myform').reset();
}
});
});
});
