Developing PHP the Ajax Way, Part 1: Getting Started
Asynchronous
JavaScript and XML (Ajax), has become the most popular new Web
development technology. This is the first of a new two-part "Developing
PHP the Ajax way" series (2nd part is not posted yet). In
this Ajax tutorial and coding demonstation, you'll develop an
online Web photo album application using PHP and the Simple
Ajax Toolkit (Sajax). It starts be coding a simple photo album
app using the usual method of PHP programming, to which Sajax
is then applied and used to create it into an active Web
application.
This tutorial article teaches the reader how to develop a simple photo album using two methods: a traditional Web application and a Sajax-powered application. The PHP album application reads the contents of a directory, displaying a thumbnail table to the user. When the user selects a thumbnail, the image expands to full size. Because a traditional application is being coded, every click generates a new HTTP request, and parameters are sent within the URL.
