I'm a newbie to JQuery and have a problem, when I click submit button on the form everything says registration was successful but my MYSQL database was not updated everything worked fine until I tried to add the JQuery to the picture.

Can someone help me fix this problem so my database is updated?

Thanks

Here is the JQuery code.

$(function() {

$(".save-button").click(function() {
    var address = $("#address").val();
    var address_two = $("#address_two").val();
    var city_town = $("#city_town").val();
    var state_province = $("#state_province").val();
    var zipcode = $("#zipcode").val();
    var country = $("#country").val();
    var email = $("#email").val();

    var dataString = 'address='+ address + '&address_two=' + address_two + '&city_town=' + city_town + '&state_province=' + state_province + '&zipcode=' + zipcode + '&country=' + country + '$email=' + email;

    if(address=='' || address_two=='' || city_town=='' || state_province=='' || zipcode=='' || country=='' || email=='') {
        $('.success').fadeOut(200).hide();
        $('.error').fadeOut(200).show();
    }

    else
    {
    $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "http://localhost/New%20Project/home/index.php",
    data: dataString,
    success: function(){
    $('.success').fadeIn(200).show();
    $('.error').fadeOut(200).hide();

   }
});
    }

    return false;

    });
});

Here is the PHP code.

if (isset($_POST['contact_info_submitted'])) { // Handle the form.

    // Query member data from the database and ready it for display
    $mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "sitename");
    $dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli,"SELECT users.*, contact_info.*
                                 FROM users 
                                 INNER JOIN contact_info ON contact_info.user_id = users.user_id 
                                 WHERE users.user_id=3");

    $user_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities('3'));
    $address = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['address']));
    $address_two = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['address_two']));
    $city_town = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['city_town']));
    $state_province = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['state_province']));
    $zipcode = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['zipcode']));
    $country = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, htmlentities($_POST['country']));
    $email = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, strip_tags($_POST['email']));


//If the table is not found add it to the database
if (mysqli_num_rows($dbc) == 0) {
        $mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "sitename");
        $dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli,"INSERT INTO contact_info (user_id, address, address_two, city_town, state_province, zipcode, country, email) 
                                     VALUES ('$user_id', '$address', '$address_two', '$city_town', '$state_province', '$zipcode', '$country', '$email')");
}



//If the table is in the database update each field when needed
if ($dbc == TRUE) {
        $dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli,"UPDATE contact_info 
                                     SET address = '$address', address_two = '$address_two', city_town = '$city_town', state_province = '$state_province', zipcode = '$zipcode', country = '$country', email = '$email' 
                                     WHERE user_id = '$user_id'");
}


if (!$dbc) {
        // There was an error...do something about it here...
        print mysqli_error($mysqli);
        return;
}

}
