Xajax, Develop asynchronous Ajax applications with PHP.

Library to develop asynchronous Ajax applications with PHP. xajax is designed to be extremely easy to implement in both existing web applications as well as new projects. You can add the power of xajax to nearly any PHP script. Just include xajax, register a function (or an object or class method) then add a call to the function in your HTML or javascript.

Perhaps the most unique feature of xajax is the xajaxResponse class. Other Ajax libraries require you to write your own callback handlers in Javascript to process the data returned from an asynchronous request and to update the content. xajax, on the other hand, allows you to easily control your content from PHP. The xajaxResponse class allows you to create XML instructions to return to your application from your PHP functions. The XML is parsed by xajax message pump and the instructions tell xajax how to update the content and state of your application. The xajaxResponse class currently offers a number of useful commands, such as Assign, which sets the specified attribute of an element in your page; Append, which appends data to the end of the specified attribute of an element in your page; Prepend, which prepends data to the beginning of the specified attribute of an element in your page; Replace, which searches for and replaces data in the specified attribute of an element in your page; Script, which runs the supplied JavaScript code; and Alert, which shows an alert box with the supplied message text.
