Hi everybody, I am programming a game with javascript and using some PHP for login register etc.. I want to link to an external file and execute the code there and then get the result in the javascript file. I did some research and most people say to use ajax. I have zero experience with ajax so it would be great if you could help out.
Here is my code:

XML

<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            test
        </title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var timeAtEnd = 1;
            function submitHS () {
            alert("ha");
                $.ajax({
                    $.alert("buahah");
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "mathMemory/submitHS.php",
                    data: {timeAtEnd = "timeAtEnd"}
                    success: function() {
                        echo "success";
                    };
            });
        }
        window.onload = submitHS();
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

All I really want to do right now is have the connection work which i don't think it is doing.
Thanks in advance for any help!
