Howdy friends, these days when people fill out a form on webpages they want an instant response!
So today in this article, we will show you how to submit the form with Ajax and jQuery without reloading the page. Yup! your form will be submitted but the webpage won’t refresh at all. To achieve this we will use our trusted jQuery and Ajax.
But Ajax is the key here!
Because it allows us to send and receive data without refreshing our webpage. Don’t worry I will explain it in detail in the next section.
You can use our code in combination with PHPMailer or Sendgrid to send emails as well. And send emails without any refresh or reload. Meaning with Ajax form submission without refresh, you can build applications where you can submit the form and display the results on the same page.
Anyway, let’s learn the basics first of jQuery and Ajax.
User login functionality in a website is a pretty simple but compulsory component. In all modern dynamic websites, the client asks for a login and admin panel so that they can do basic tasks.
Today I will give you a simple and clean-looking login system with PHP and MySQL. We will maintain the login tracking with PHP Sessions and let Bootstrap make us a clean UI Design.
Why PHP? Because despite being ancient. As some developers believe. PHP is fundamental to our web.
Around 81.7% of the websites on the web use PHP as their server-side language.
And why not PHP?
PHP powers famous CMS(Content Management System) like WordPress and Joomla. Open Source OOPs frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter. And numerous others.
Reason: PHP is simple and clean to write. Easy-to-understand and beginner-friendly. Vast community support and adaptability toward developer needs.
Let’s what will do in this simple project:
-User Login Design with Bootstrap 5
- PHP code for MySQL Database
- Logic to process the login request
- Throw errors if the wrong entry of login credentials
- Redirect to Admin if successful request
- Conclusion
Forging a clean UI with Bootstrap for User Login
First, we create index.php and write our UI design with the latest Bootstrap 5. We added Google Fonts Poppins for making our UI look eye-catching. Whenever possible, we relied on CDN links because it keeps our code lightweight and less resource intensive.
Next, we do simple CSS styling in our style.css file. To make our plain background something fun to look at, I have added a small background image in webp format. Also, coded in background color as a backup in the case of legacy browsers that do not support webp format yet.
Build and Hook up your MySQL database
Before we start preceding the actual PHP logic part. We need a database for keeping a record of our login users. And the best choice of course is MySQL–why because it’s free and open source like PHP. Not to mention very beginner friendly.
First, go to your PHPMyAdmin whether you’re working online or in the local environment. And set up your database with a relevant name to your project.
After the Database is created. Setup a table named users which has mainly four columns we need: id, email, password, and active. We can also execute the below SQL code in the PHPMyAdmin SQL tab and this will generate our table “users”.
Now, we can insert user login details by running the following SQL code. We are hard coding this now. But we can create a PHP code for the signup process later. First, we must deploy our user login system.
Next in line, we hook up a connection between MySQL and PHP:
Now our UI and database are set. Next, we tackle our User Login process head-on! Yay! I am excited!

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Introduction
2. Howdy friends, these days when people fill out a form on webpages they want
an instant response!
So today in this article, we will show you how to submit form with Ajax and
jQuery without reloading the page. Yup! your form will be submitted but the
webpage won’t refresh at all. To achieve this we will use our trusted jQuery
and Ajax.
But Ajax is the key here!
Because it allows us to send and receive data without refreshing our
webpage. Don’t worry I will explain it in detail in the next section.
You can use our code in combination with PHPMailer or Sendgrid to send
emails as well. And send emails without any refresh or reload. Meaning with
Ajax form submit without refresh, you can build applications where you can
submit the form and display the results on the same page.
Anyway, let’s learn the basics first of jQuery and Ajax.
Powerful Combo of jQuery + Ajax
Modern web development won’t exist without JavaScript. And jQuery is one of
the most used JS libraries you can think of in modern web development. But
ever since its release Ajax has joined its ranks because of vital things we can
do with Ajax.
Remember, Ajax also called Asynchronous JavaScript And XML is not a
framework or library, or even a language itself. Instead, Ajax is a web
development technique to send and receive data asynchronously. If want to
know more read this MDN article about Ajax.
3. How AJAX works behind the scene
Could we simply use Ajax without jQuery?
The answer is: YES! But no one does that unless you want to write verbose
Ajax submit form PHP code. jQuery makes writing Ajax simpler and more fun.
Now that we know why we are going to submit form with Ajax and jQuery
together. Let’s go into the coding section:
UI Code of HTML Form
First, we must design the UI. With Bootstrap handling CSS, we will design our
UI which look like this:
4. How UI should look for the jQuery submit form with Ajax
To build our UI, our main file is: “index.html“.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0">
<title>jQuery submit form with Ajax</title>
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.2/dist/css/bootst
rap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
7. <script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.2/dist/js/bootstra
p.bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
At this point in time, our UI will look like this for our jQuery Submit form with
Ajax. Next, we code the logic which makes our form gets submitted without
any reloading.
The logic of Submitting Form without
reload
As we explained at the start, Ajax is the main technique to send our data to
the server and receive data at the same time. Then we display this data at UI.
● We use the submit() jQuery function to submit our form. Though
we need to provide an id to identify our form.
● Next, we inject the event.preventDefault() function which
removes the default functionality of submit button click.
● jQuery Ajax function $.ajax() or jQuery.ajax() is the main
function which send or receive data. It has certain argument
requirements like
○ Type: post or get method
○ URL: Url of file such as in this case “post.php“
○ data: here we write code that processes the data we
receive from the form. In our jQuery submit form with
8. Ajax, we are utilizing serialize() jQuery to collect data
from the form.
$('#submitform').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "post.php",
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
$('.result').html(data);
}
});
});
Now that we completed most of the code. Let’s move to the coding part where
we insert the data into the database.
9. PHP Code to link Database
For this form submission, we are collecting data and sending it to our MySQL
database. If you want to know how to build a simple DB read this.
To insert data into MySQL we use PHP as a backed powerhouse. For that
purpose, we have a simple PHP file: “post.php“.
<?php
$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$connect = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'ajax_form');
$sql = "insert into form_data (username, email, password)
values('$username', '$email', '$password')";
if (mysqli_query($connect, $sql)) {
echo "Data Inserted Successfully!";
} else {
echo "Data failed to be inserted!";
}
10. Now that we are almost finished with UI and Logic part of our form. Let’s move
on to the SQL part.
Feel free to run the below code to build a quick SQL Table.
CREATE TABLE `form_data` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
Below is the image of how your UI will look after we submit form without
reloading the page jQuery.
How jQuery submit form with ajax look
11. Final process
After filling out the form you can view your submitted data in the database.
Below is the image explaining how your database should look like for our Ajax
Submit form PHP.
