Calling PHP in jQuery

Question

I have a site where you click on a product name and it launches a URL with a filter and it returns forum posts relevant to that product name:

E.g. www.google.com/product?=blah

Instead of having to navigate to this URL is it possible to launch it in a DIV dynamically rather than the user having to click a link. Looking to develop a dashboard type view.

Answer 1

You need AJAX. You can use JQuery to perform AJAX queries to a PHP website.

Answer 2

Hey dude!

its easy :)

$.get('ajax/test.html', function(data) {
  $('.result').html(data);
  alert('Load was performed.');
});
