Javascript with Php MVC - php

Question

I'm new in PHP MVC, I have a question about how javascript works with php mvc
If I have a page with a button, when user click the button
It will send to next page and update data in database
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btn").click(function(){
$.load(){... }
or $.post(){.....}//post data to another page
});
});
//next page
if(isset($_POST[])){
//update data
}
My question is
Should I send this data to controller than pass to model and output in view(if we need respond something)
Button --javascript--> controller -> model(update data) --send data back--> view
or
I can just send data to page and update without mvc

Sorry, i can't just comment your question yet
Your first approach is correct. Is recommended that you update data in models. Meanwhile, all SQL statements or ORM handles should be on it.
In your case, you have two options to show the data in view: Return a JSON in your php handle it with javascript, and load your view directly after update data. It depends how all your project is builded.
I can write some exemples, but you will need to give some peace of code.
// In your controller
if(isset($_POST)){
$obj = new MyObject();
$obj->name = $_POST['name'];
$obj->date = date("Y-m-d");
$obj->validatePost();
$obj->update();
$result = $obj->getData();
return $result;
}
// Your model
class MyObject {
public $name;
public $date;
public function validatePost(){
if($this->name == null){
// print error
}
}
public function update(){
// database cheets
}
public function getData(){
return $json;
}
}
