12,792 PointsHow to combine fetch() POST method with php?
Hi was wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction. I know how to connect to a db and pass/retrive data with php.
I now know how to use fetch() to POST data using javascript.
Just not entirely sure how I connect the 2 different languages? Would I create a separate .php file with the required php function then use that url as the target in fetch()?
If there is a workshop/track for this, then I'd be keen to watch it :)
Thanks in advance

12,792 PointsThanks for the reply James. I have just finished the AJAX course but it doesn't cover how to link to PHP. I'll keep looking.
Also trying to avoid Jquery as quite a few people advised that new Javascript updates mean Jquery is out of date. So trying to learn to do the above using vanilla Javascript.

You can use Jquery: https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ref_ajax.asp
hope this helps :)

9,260 PointsI tend not to use Jquery as much as possible, but its what they use in work -_-, but there is a JS class which you can intantiate which is HTTPRequest() then that should allow you to start using Ajax.
hope it goes well.
