New AJAX/PHP framework - My-BIC is LIGHT and TASTY!

February 19, 2006

After trying a bunch of bloated ajax frameworks I decided to write one that is lightweight and just takes care of the bare essentials to get things rolling. It supports XML, JSON, and TEXT formats.

I'm looking for some volunteers to try it out and voice their opinions. The basic concept is:
one xmlhttp class that takes care of sending and receiving data and a php script on the server that acts as a front controller that all ajax requests go through.

2 lines of javascript and one php class are all you need to get an ajax setup going! So far it's for PHP5 however if there is interest in PHP4 I will create a quick version for that as well.

 
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/class_xmlhttp.js"></script>
 
<script>
 
var ajaxObj = new XMLHTTP("/ajax_server.php");
 
function postComment(comment) {
            ajaxObj.call("action=postComment&comment="+comment, ComResp);
 
}
 
function ComResp(resp) {
            if(resp) {
                document.getElementByID("status").innerHTML = resp;
            } else {
                // handle error here
            }
}
 
</script>
 

thats all the javascript you need! you want xml? just add ajaxObj.format = "XML" before your call statement

I look forward to hearing back from you! Feel free to email me directly at jiminoc AT gmail.com

   I just tried your hello world tutorial and I can't figure out why instead of the hello world message, I get "false"! (see http://tagspot.sourceforge.net/helloworld.html)
