Visit a page using Javascript without leaving the current page

I have a Javascript file running on a page and I would like to log certain events as they occur. For example, I have a web store - and when people add an item to their cart, I want to log this event by visiting a page that I built:

function log_event(id) {
  window.location.href = 'https://example.com/log/cart.php?id=' + id;
  return false;
}

The log/cart.php page doesn't really have anything to display, all it does is insert a record into a database containing the item that was added to the cart, and the date.

The code that calls this function looks like:

document.getElementById('add-to-cart').addEventListener('click', function() {
  // Add to the cart
  ...

  // Track the item that was added
  let id = document.getElementById('add-to-cart').getAttribute('data-id');
  log_event(id);
});

With my current code, the log/cart.php actually replaces the current page. I want the opening of log/cart.php to only happen in the background without the user being interrupted. I don't want it to actually open a browser tab or window and let the user stay in the product page.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
