I'm using Ubuntu 22.04
My code allows selection of vendors from a database except when; "if (choice=='Add Vendor to List')". When that happens I want to enable the $.ajax call to be able to add a new vendor to the database and re-do the original code again where the added vendor will now be in the database and available as a choice in the selection. output is shown below when I select 'Add Vendor to List'
Thanks in advance in solving this. R
addVender.php is:
