I'm aware about passing user input to another php page, get it by $_POST or GET and run a query, but I see in some pages that when I give them an input it's saved immediately, without going to another link. I don't know whether they are using mySQL database, but I want to know how to make that possible in the case of mySQL. Is the data saved in a JSON file or something and passed to the server when the page is closed?

there's no way for us to know about the specific site's you're referring to since it could be done many ways. chances are pretty high they used ajax. – But those new buttons though.. Nov 24 '18 at 04:46

Look into AJAX e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9436534/ajax-tutorial-for-post-and-get – Nick Nov 24 '18 at 04:47

For that you can use Ajax or write php code on the same page. For example :
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="text" placeholder="Input1" name="firstInput">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$input=$_POST['firstInput'];
//Here you can run your query make sure to make database connection first
$sql=mysqli_query($con,"query goes here");
}
?>
