you might want to use node js that might help you interact with the server using java script — Rahul Singh, May 03 '17 at 06:16

Strawberry: This maybe very stupid, but when I try to access the index.php page, the browser tries to download it as opposed to opening it. I hope might understood what I meant. — Jahangir, May 04 '17 at 05:11

Javascript is a client-side language, so it runs on the clients browser. If you still want to insert into mysql using javascript then you could use something like node.js which would run on the server-side.

For instance this is how an insert using node.js would look like:

var post  = {id: 1, title: 'Hello MySQL'};
var query = connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET ?', post, function(err, result) {
    // check result or error!
});

Jahangir jan, It's not possible to use client side Javascript to store something into the MySQL. But it's possible to use server side Javascript to do it.

Yes nodejs is a server side Javascript language so you can communicate with database as well. – Hossein May 03 '17 at 09:59
