HTML_AJAX 0.5.6 Examples

These are examples showing the basics of using HTML_AJAX

These examples show off many of the features of HTML_AJAX, but you'll find them most useful as a learning tool. Reading through the commented code as you view the examples in your browser.

These examples are available online at: http://bluga.net/projects/HTML_AJAX or in your local PEAR install in the documentation dir. On most Linux systems the location is /usr/share/pear/docs/HTML_AJAX/examples/ You can find the location of your PEAR documentation dir running pear config-get doc_dir

The term proxy in these examples refers to a javascript class that is generated and has functions that map to the eqivalent php class. These proxy classes work much in the same way as a SOAP proxy class that is generated from wsdl.

Front end files for examples, you can actually run these and see some example output

• proxyless_usage.php - Using HTML_AJAX in standalone mode, possible doesn't require PHP or any backend HTML_AJAX classes
• proxy_usage_inline_javascript.php - Single file proxy style usage
• proxy_usage_server.php - Multi-file proxy usage, either server file could be used with this example
• queue_usage.php - An example of using a queue to manage ajax calls, a simple live search example
• slow_livesearch.php - An example showing how the ordered queue can be used to manage high latency
• helper_usage.php - An example showing the basics of the helper api
• form.php - Basic AJAX form submission example
• action_usage.php - Basic HTML_AJAX_Action usage
• xml_usage.php - Basic XML serializer usage

Real Life Examples

• login/index.php - An example creating an AJAX driven login
• review/index.php - A simple live review system, AJAX form submission and click to edit
• guestbook/index.php - A simple guestbook system, uses action system so you never write a line of javascript
• shoutbox.php - How to use AJAX form submission

2 server examples are provided, both provide the same output but the auto_server example has code to help you deal with managing multiple ajax classes

• server.php - Basic server operation, serving ajax calls and client lib requests
• auto_server.php - Advanced server operation, only create php classes as needed
• server.php?client=util,main - server.php generating a javascript file with the main and util libs in it
• server.php?stub=test2 - auto_server.php generating a javascript file a which contains a generated proxy class for the test2 php class
• server.php?stub=all - auto_server.php generating a javascript file which contains proxies for all the php classes registered with it
• server.php?stub=all&gzip=true - an example with gzip compression enabled (note gzip=true isn't built in, see server.php)
• server.php?stub=all&gzip=true - another example with gzip compression enabled (note gzip=true isn't built in, see server.php)

Examples files showing howto use HTML_AJAX_Util javascript class

• js_utils_vardump.php - Shows the output of HTML_AJAX_Util.varDump() and compares its against PHP's var_dump

Other Example files:

• test_speed.php - A basic setup for measuring the speed of calls
• test_priority.php - A basic test showing how Priority queue works
• serialize.php.examples.php - Internal tests for the php serialize format serializer
• serialize.url.examples.php - Internal tests for the urlencoded format serializer
• setInnerHTML.php - Tests used to verify the operation of HTML_AJAX_Util.setInnerHTML
• duplicateJSLib.php - Tests used to verify that HTML_AJAX_Server is removing duplicate JS libraries from client generation correctly
• behaviorSpeed.php - Tests used to see how fast the JavaScript behavior code runs.
• helper_combine.php - Tests used to verify helper url javascript include generation.
• interceptors.php - Interceptors test

Javascript and Html Examples:

• test_behavior.html - A short overview of how to use behavior.js. Behavior uses css selectors to apply javascript behaviors without throwing lots of javascript handlers into your html.
