Question

I tried a simple ajax aplication using jquery, where i had my php file in an separate folder in my root and it is working.

Is there any other way to use ajax in a zend framework?

Answer 1

There are some ways you can do it

1. Use ZendX_JQuery. They have helper called ajax_link, with which you can use make ajax call directly from a link.

2. Embed a js file, in your file and use ajax there. Use something like:

   $this -> headLink() -> appendScript(‘path/to/your/script’);

   You might have to import the JQuery file like this, if you have not enabled this, using the ZendX_JQuery helper.

3. Directly feed script content like <script>...</script> like you would raw html

However, JQuery helper might take a bit to fully understand. If you are already familier with JQuery, and know how to use it properly. Go with option number 2.
