How do I call a PHP file via jQuery on click function [duplicate]

Question

I have this button called save button. On clicking on it, I want it to call a PHP file on the server which will then let user download a text file with some data.

This is my button code

<img id="save" class="normal_button"  src="buttons/save.png">

This is my jQuery file

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery("#save").click(function(){
        jQuery.get("download.php"); 
    });

Here is my php file named download.php

<?php
    echo "connected";
?>

The jQuery documentation works wonders with this kind of quesions: api.jquery.com/jquery.get — Amarnasan

Is the file static or you need to dynamically retrieve and download the file? — Rafael

$.get("downlaod.php", function (data) { alert(data); }).fail(function () { alert("error"); }); try this. If error alert is coming, that means something is wrong with either download.php or the way it is called, may be the path is wrong. — rrk

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
        $.get("download.php", function(data, status){
            alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status);
        });
    });
});
