PHP and AJAX

[Fred Weinhaus]

Can anyone point me to some good online literature about communicating
between PHP and AJAX. Are there any libraries that would allow PHP to
send back request information to the calling HTML page?

Thanks

There's absolutely no difference between calls from AJAX and normal browser
calls as far as PHP is concerned. It's just another request. No difference
to PHP. Let PHP output the needed text/HTML/XHTML/XML, and process it with
javascript.

Anything that has to be done with the supplied information is js, so if you
run into problems, check the code PHP produces, if that's OK, ask on
c.l.javascript.

Hello Rik,

I am relatively new to both PHP and AJAX so pardon my simple question,
but how do you actually return the data that PHP processes back to the
page that made the AJAX request? Can you be more specific?

Thanks

Google for xajax

A good ajax library I use with PHP is the moo.ajax from the moo.fx
package. Its simple and small (1kb).

Check out http://moofx.mad4milk.net/

To use it, include the moofx scripts in your header.

<script type="text/javascript"
src="/moo.fx/scripts/prototype.lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/moo.fx/scripts/moo.ajax.js"></script>

Then embed JS where needed..

<p id="foobar"><a href="#" onclick="new ajax('hello.php', {update:
$('foobar')});">Click Me</a></p>

Then create your PHP page that will communicate with the AJAX...

eg. hello.php....

<?php
echo "hello world";
?>

And thats it!

The AJAX code makes a new request. PHP returns data exactly as if it were
responding to a normal web request.

I guess there's a lot of stuff out there now for this, but SAJAX works
really well for me:

When I was looking at AJAX tutorials I found a few good ones on
http://www.hotscripts.com/ but they take a bit of finding.
