My-BIC AJAX: State of Mind for PHP harmony
Category: Ajax, Programming
After tiring of over hyped ajax frameworks trying to hide the guts that make ajax programming fun I decided to share my recipe for easy to make ajax applications where you still have control over everything, but the setup of it all is handled for you. This is a basic state of mind system rather than a framework. I offer you 3 files and a design pattern that allows you to focus on making things happen rather than setting things up. This is designed for PHP4 and PHP5
My-BIC provides support for XML, JSON and TEXT ajax transactions. My-BIC has also been tested to work with Safari, Firefox, IE and Opera web browsers
The structure of the software is provided in three main files – the Javascript file and two server-side PHP files (a front controller and an optional JSON handler). The main page provides a graphic to show an overview of how it all works together as well as a simple code exmaple to make it work.
The site also provides other resources for those working with My-BIC:
- updates about the project
- tutorials
- error handling docs
- supported communication methods
- sending custom headers
You can download the latest version of My-BIC here.
