Use javascript to send post request

Question

I'm currently using javascript to send a post request to a PHP file on my server:

function insertComment(id, status) {
 $.post("http://test.com/includes/insert.php",{id:id, status:status});
}

However, how can I edit my code so that when the post request is sent and when insert.php is loaded, the code loads the output from insert.php in a DIV on the original page that called the insertComment() function.

Answer 1

Your php side should output some result, and your javascript side should take the result and do something.

Example:

$.post("http://test.com/includes/insert.php",{id:id, status:status}, function(data) {
 $('#your_div').html(data);
});
