Things look fine for me, im running the firefox 1.5 beta, but I doubt there was any change. Do you have any user style sheets or extensions running that might mess with colored text.

Somehow it seems the site is broken in Firefox – I can’t read the examples
Just gray on gray.

Go PHP Go

Errr, sorry about that not my best writing ever. I also included the include for the proxy class.

If you look at the output of server.php?stub=test you’ll get a better idea of what is happening. The server generates a new JS class that has a stub method on it for each function on the php side. Each one just contains boiler plate for doing the AJAX call.

when you create an instance of this proxy class you pass it its callback class. You can do this by passing in a variable instance or since JavaScript is an odd language by creating a hash of functions right there, like i showed in the example.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit.

Sometime while reading through tons of AJAX libraries, I think you said something about one of the goals being not having to work with Javascript, and just work with PHP. I’ve been told before that the J in Ajax is Javascript, but if you could make things so that only a minimal knowledge of Javascript is required, you’d be my hero.

The cases should be:

switch($var) {
case:…
case:..
}

Nice though, good job!

After that you need to include the generated proxy class. After that you can create an instance of that, when you do it you pass in a callback class.

What?

I switched the last code block to JavaScript highlighting oops. The tgz is generated by the pear installer so if there is a problem thats why, I guess it might be worth adding a bug for that.

On the RAWPOSTDATA front thats what you use, your not sending with a form encoding so _POST will never be populated. Which is good cause things aren’t urlencoded, there JSON by default which is just a chunk of text.

I’m getting an “undefined” back in all the examples, but since you seem to be using the RAWPOSTDATA, it’s a bit confusing to debug.

Take care,
