AJAX = Asynchronous Javascript And XML.

It's used mainly in almost all applications that you see. It does work in the background and then sends the data back to the browser. This allows the page not to have to be refreshed to get new data. It works with all major browsers and there is even "toolkits" that you can get like MooTools, EXT, jQuery, and others.

PHP is a server side language, Javascript is a client side language. Via "calls" with AJAX you can send data back to a PHP page and send data to the browser.

Take care,
Chad
