PHP Vs AJAX

[Jordan]

I can't argue with that pure logic. It also p4wns Ruby.

Classic ASP sucks. Worse, it uses Classic ADO which REALLY sucks.

To me, in a sentence to describe AJAX:

AJAX is an add-on to the dynamic website language.

It must uses with another language, such as basic HTML, JS, PHP, ect.
The complications, I am not any expert.
AJAX is an old scripts, I think it was used in the ASP, am I correct?

LOL.

AJAX is "Asynchronous JavaScript And XML" which makes it a technique used with JavaScript to load XML data into a HTML-page dynamically.

How you create the XML is another thing, there is where the server side languages come in place, like php, asp/asp.net and others.

AJAX is not a language, it's a technique. It uses a client-side scripting language (JavaScript or VBScript) to request information from the server (processed using a client-side scripting language such as ASP/ASP.NET/ColdFusion/PHP/CGI/Other) and update the document based on the response (by manipulating the DOM).

That's why I said in one sentence, LOL, it's an add-on. You don't need AJAX unless if you insist to make it use it.
You can't develop a website or client application without the basic design approach. So, AJAX isn't a requirement at all. It's like an add-on technique. heheheee

I can see facebook is a very good example using AJAX?

In the same way, CSS and even HTML is an add-on.

Yes, true. Master HTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX and you can build any type of website :0

The best think you can do is make a multi lang makeup lang,

E.G this is a verry basic makeup lang for a table

first name, second name:
Martin, barker:
Jhon, conna:

Then make it so asp/.net php cfm(cold fusion) can all make you makeup lang, then just get ajax to read it and a javascript function to use it E.G

<script type="text/javascript">
function getArray(){
rows = ajaxReturn.split(':');
for(i = 0; i == rows.count; i++){
  rows[i] = rows[i].split(',');
}
}
</script> 

This will give you a nested array E.G

rows[0] = [0] = martin, [1] = barker
rows[2] = [0] = jhon, [1] = conna

Its realy easy to make up a makeup lang with regEx (regual exspresions)

There seem to be a rather strange confusion about this topic, even in the replies within this very thread.

Ajax, is simply, to the core, a technique used in JavaScript alone. It all boils down to a function to retrieve data asynchronously from the server. This data, which in AJAX stands for XML, though it can be html, JSON or any other format of choice. Some javascripts featuring ajax does not even use a severside programming language such as PHP, since it fetches RAW data from the server, such as .json, .html, .xml, .txt or whatever. But, of course, it is very usefull to use have a server side program to generate the data, such as with PHP.

This whole process to integrate AJAX with your all day code in javascript can be really simplified with a library. There is a nice collection of such javascript libraries over at libzter.
