Advantages of Using Ajax with PHP
If you're often coding web applications, or you consider yourself fairly IT-savvy, you'll know all about PHP and its various uses. However, when combined with AJAX, the results can be even more efficient and productive, whether you're working on your O2 forum site or a company portfolio page.
AJAX and PHP are powerful tools when it comes to creating high-quality web applications, and combined can achieve a lot more than they can on their own. The advantage of AJAX is that you can now connect to the server from the website interface without a total refresh requirement, allowing you to quickly and efficiently access data.
Of course, it's not the most simple process, as AJAX is not the simplest of application tools to learn, but the benefits are huge. Combining AJAX with, say, JavaScript, makes for a much faster data retrieval system, and the site will perform better when checking results from a submitted form and assigning it to a server-side function. The result is then pinged back to the client, and the user can proceed without having to wait for the entire page to refresh.
You'll also be giving yourself many more abilities, such as the ability to make asynchronous calls to a server (resulting in faster transfer functions), minimising data transfer (speeding up the user experience considerably) and giving your web client a much faster response time. In addition to this, its combination with PHP results in an extension of the PHP class with your own class. Less JavaScript, faster web clients, and more traffic as a result of being a more accessible, usable site.
Building a dynamic website of sufficient complexity should no longer be a chore, and you'll never regret combining AJAX and PHP once you get started.
