Introduction

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Any server side technology that supports JavaScript also supports AJAX. AJAX is a browser technology, and is therefore independent of web server platforms. AJAX is not a programming language, but a technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications.

If we are using PHP or any server side technology and need to extract data from storage on a server (e.g. a database or a file), we will have to make an HTTP request (either POST or GET) to get the data. Once the data is received the web page will need to be reloaded to show the data. Using AJAX technology we can request and receive the data from the server in background and then display it on the page without a reload. AJAX uses HTTP requests for this. With AJAX, JavaScript communicates directly with the server, through the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object (XML over HTTP). With an HTTP request, a web page can make a request to, and get a response from, a web server without reloading the page.
