    copied!<p>I'm moving from the realm of just JS to php and Ajax. I've dabbled some with PHP in the past. I <em>really</em> appreciate how much help stackoverflow has been in helping me with basic questions.</p> <p>let says I have a div called <code>#divName</code>. </p> <p>I use the following JS for Ajax. Some of this is just pseudo code.</p> <pre><code>var request = false; try { request = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (trymicrosoft) { try { request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (othermicrosoft) { try { request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (failed) { request = false; } } } if (!request) alert("Error initializing XMLHttpRequest!"); function getAjaxInfo(&lt;name of the php function???&gt;) { //&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; this is the function I need help with var myFunction= nameOfPHPfunctionIJustGot; var url = "filename.php?func=" + myFunction; request.open("GET", url, true); request.onreadystatechange = updatePage; request.send(null); } function updatePage() { if (request.readyState == 4) { if (request.status == 200) { var response = request.responseText; document.getElementById("divName").innerHTML = response; //probably going to use Jquery append here, but this example works. } else alert("status is " + request.status); } } </code></pre> <p>The I have my fileName.php file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php function header() { ?&gt; header content goes here &lt;?php } function footer() { ?&gt; footer content goes here &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>My goal is that when I execute <code>getAjaxInfo()</code>, I can pull whatever PHP function I want.</p> <p>So lets say if I do a <code>onClick="getAjaxInfo(header)</code>" it will get the php header function, apply it to a javascript function, and then apply that to a div. </p> <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
