i am building a notification system for my project,i am more of a php developer what i want to accomplish is that when a user clicks on a notification link eg [3] means there are 3 unread notifications,what i want is that when a user clicks and see these notifications to update my notification table and set seen field to 1 so as a notification link will be [0] and i know this can be achieved through ajax request or any other method if anyone can help will appreciate a lot coz m finalizing my project and run out of time :-) here z my code
<?php if (isset($this->session->userdata['messagecount'])): ?>
<?php if (empty($this->session->userdata['messagecount'])){echo "<button class='btn'></button>";}else{
$count=$this->session->userdata['messagecount'];
echo "<button class='btn btn-info dropdown-toggle notify-btn' data-toggle='dropdown' onclick='updateNotifications()'href='#'>".$count."</button>";
}?>
<?php endif; ?>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">

<ul class="notification-list">
<?php if (isset($this->session->userdata['notification'])): ?>
