title: Pass variable value from JS to PHP
body: <p>I have a problem in passing a value from JS to PHP so that it can be used as a parameter for a PHP function. The JS function will be trigger by onclick event once the link was clicked. Here is the JS + HTML code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
     function insertIntoDb() {
        $.GET OR POST("insert.php");
        return false;
     }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;a href="#" onclick="insertIntoDb();"&gt;INSERT MY USERNAME&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PHP (insert.php):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
      session_start();
  
      function insert($username){
          $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
          $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO List(Username) VALUES('$username')") or die(mysql_error());
      }
  
      if(isset($_POST['Username'])){
          insert($_POST['Username']);
      }
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you for the one who can help me.. I am very new to PHP and JS so please forgive my stupidity.</p>
