simple php ajax request url

Question

I have many links like this... different link id me for different items

<a class="member" href="http//ex.com/action.php?me=1">link1</a>

so when I click this I want to navigate to action.php from here (here.php) I am using ajax to do this.

I'm new to jQuery.. I am not able to understand the usage the url parameter.. I tried many posts found here... wanted to the basic way to send the --me-- value from here.php to action.php..

$("a.member").click(function(e) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "action.php?",
        data: "me=" + me,
        success: function (data) {
            alert(data);
        }
    });

    return false;

    e.preventDefault();
});

Here is an example,

The jquery part:

$("#update").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var name = 'roger'; 
    var last_name = 'blake';
    var dataString = 'name='+name+'&last_name='+last_name;

    $.ajax({
        type:'POST',
        data:dataString,
        url:'insert.php',
        success:function(data) {
            alert(data);
        }
    });
});

The insert.php page

<?php
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
    $insert = "insert into TABLE_NAME values('$name','$last_name')";// Do Your Insert Query
    if(mysql_query($insert)) {
        echo "Success";
    } else {
        echo "Cannot Insert";
    }
?>

Note: do not use mysql_* functions

Hope this helps,

please don't promote the use of mysql_* functions. They are deprecated and security nightmares. in your example: mysql injection.

Try this :

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "action.php",
    data: {
        me: me
    },
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data);

    }
});

ok so how do i access it from action.php,like $_GET['me'], will this do to get the values.. should i use somethin else.. And MANY THANKS for reply :)

also he should think about using json as transport data format. this would require the return format to be json encoded and is only necessary to validate data. doe not matter (that much) for raw html or similar. and it is something to think about after you solved the current problem.

@user2234992 yes, the values you send along are in $_GET (or $_POST depending on http command) and you can access them from there

Since the parameter is already in the <a>'s href url just pass that to url

$("a.member").click(function(e){ 
     $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: this.href,
            success: function(data){
                      alert(data);
            }
     });
     return false;
});
