PHP XML Ajax? is it necessary?
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:57 am
I have been reading many websites and going through google searches to understand the UPS integration tools.
There are some websites that use the inclusion of Ajax and XML to create the dynamic menus.
I feel that is overkill for what I a wanting to do. I started to learn some on Ajax as it is pretty interesting without page reload.
So I'm wondering if anyone has done this before? If not would anyone like to work on a community script?
Maybe have a script library made by members or something. It looks like Ajax will be the next 'big thing' at least for awhile , so is anyone interested in creating some Ajax , XML, PHP libraries on various scripts to give us all a jump on that inevitable change that's here?
If not , do you know of any good sites i can look at to get an understanding of the ups XML and php integration. I looked at the ones in the archives that the moderators posted. Those sites talk about the dynamic Ajax , XML.
So in past week this is what i found out = XML is a type of language of only tags, similar to static HTML . But Ajax (combination of javascript and XML ) uses javascript and server side to do dynamic updates without page reloads. It looks good , but i read a lot of javascript forums where there was talk about things like Mootools framework and others.
So what are your thoughts? Should PHP programmers pre-empt the inevitable battle against the evil ASP and javascript programmers that will surely be using AJAX to impress the clients of the near future?
without action will our php fate become one of taking piddly to do the 'small' server side calls for various fancy Ajax programs that javascript programmers pull from libraries?
Ive read a lot about it in the past week or so , I've seen their examples and the new 'show off' programmer scripts. I believe its enough to be concerned about. It seems obvious that the we bcould quickly turn over night to the interfaces that require no full page reloads and are instead portals of many broken down <div> sections that all update without reload.
I sense a great tremor in the force.
