You should use jQuery to this. You can use its ajax() function. Visit the link below and read the full description of it with the functions list to help you out.

Here is a sample code for you:

    
        
    
    
        

            
            Submit this Div!
        
    

Ajax code:

function fake_form_submit ()
{

    var post = $('input#posting-value-1').val();

    $.ajax({
    'url': 'your-php-file.php',
    'type': 'POST',
    'dataType': 'json', 
    'data': {post: post},
    'success': function(data)
     {
         if(data.finish)
         {
            $("div.my-fake-form").attr("innerHTML","Form Submited!");
         }
         else
         {
            $("div.my-fake-form").attr("innerHTML","Form Not Submited!");   
         }
     },
     beforeSend: function()
       {
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("div.my-fake-form").attr("innerHTML","Loading....");
            });
       },
        'error': function(data)
        {
          $(document).ready(function () {
            $("div.my-fake-form").attr("innerHTML","ERROR OCCURRED!");
          });
        }
      });
}

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('a#submit-form-link').click(function (e) {
       e.preventDefault();
       fake_form_submit();
    });
});

PHP:

 true));
?>
