No need of ajax in this scenario, better you enhance the code in a structured way, remove onClick. and use the method post in form

<form id="frm1" method="post" action="update.php">
<input type="submit" value="commit">
</form>

Do updation process in update.php by getting the value from the current page

in update.php:

$value=$_POST["val"];

connect to database and use update query to update relevant records.
