Using AJAX to execute PHP code

Question

I'm not entirely familiar with the MVC model and I cannot get my head around it, however I am trying to simplify things by having my page design separate from my logic. I have my basic template all set up, and I would like hyperlinks to open PHP files within the same page.

For instance:

I'm assuming AJAX is the right approach to this, but any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

take a look to: http://api.jquery.com/load/

you can load only on part of a page in a html element

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html #container');

Ah right load is definitive better than ajax(). I keep my answer as an alternative. +1

also for php you can pass values to the script like so : $("#divcontainer").load("phpscript.php?value1=number");

Ajax function

$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#submitBtn").click(function() {
                    $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "request.php", //Your required php page
                data: "id="+ studentid, //pass your required data here
                success: function(response){
                    $('#output').html(response);
                }
            });
        return false;
        });

});

request.php

<?php
$student_id= $_POST['id']; //The data that is passed from tha ajax function
$message = "The id you have entered is".$student_id;
echo $message;//This will be obtained in the ajax response.

I would use a framwork like jQuery and use the ajax() function. Then you must simple execute the statement and in the success handler set content of the div to the received data.
