PHP - Found a nice simple AJAX framework

[feenster99]

Hi,
Today I was looking for a nice simple AJAX framework to help me fiddle around with forms, and send/recieve data from a database. I've looked at Prototype etc before, but found them far too bloated for my needs.

I then stumbled across SAJA and it does exactly what I need. It's dead simple to use, has some nice features (like being to log AJAX requests in a browser's history), and best of all, doesn't involve writing any JavaScript handlers - you write the PHP function to process your data, and it handles the rest.

I'm still finding my feet with it a bit, but am able to exchange data with MySQL/Informix etc using PDO easily. It's worth a peek

Anyone else know of similar, simple, PHP<--->AJAX libraries that are worth looking at?

Nice! I'll take a look at that tomorrow. That's one of the things I love about Ruby on Rails - AJAX without delving into JS.

I haven't had time to try it yet - how have you got on with it?

Well, i've only encountered one problem with it which is too detailed to go into here (more about my coding than SAJA). Other than that, i've been happily exchanging data with a database via PDO, then ouputting the results to the screen, adding new rows to tables etc. It's dead simple to use, worth spending a couple of hours with IMO.
