Saving form data using ajax, etc

a good start point

OK, but to address that issue, just make sure that every value that you are sending FROM the client/browser destined TO the db gets escaped with mysql_real_escape_string():

On that tutorial

$url= $_GET['site_url'];
$sitename= $_GET['site_name'];

would become:

$url= mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['site_url'] );
$sitename= mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['site_name']);


In case it's not obvious, you  will also need a file named "config.php" which will basically have the following:
<?php
//be sure to fill the following four variables.  If you are running PHP AND mysql
//on the same machine, then set $DB_SERVER to localhost
$DB_SERVER="";
$DB_USERNAME="";
$DB_PASSWORD="";
$DB_NAME="Your Database name goes here";

mysql_connect($DB_SERVER,$DB_USERNAME, $DB_PASSWORD) or die( mysql_error() );
mysql_select_db($DB_NAME) or die( mysql_error() );
?>

That shouldn't be a problem at all. Typically, its expected for you (the tutorial reader) to download a copy of the JS file to your own machine and link your page to YOUR own copy of the js file.

BTW: that snippet of code that links to google server is used to simply "import" a copy of the jquery library.  So you can just go to jquery.com and download your own copy of jquery.

hmmm

You need to complete some steps:

1. Create a javascript function that access the php file
You can use this function:

function saveindatabase(your_variable){
	jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:false});
	var file='';
	file='your_file.php?code='+your_variable;	
	jQuery.get(file,function(fileContents){
        //you can execute a javascript code here ex: alert or ....
        });
	jQuery.ajaxSetup({async:true});
}

Select allOpen in new window

2. In your php file you can read variable

code

: $myvar=$_GET['code'];
You can transmit morevariable to php.

3. For save to database in php read php docummentation on php.org, or ask.com

Thanks a lot :)
