I’m developing a web site, which would make use of PHP, Javascript (JQuery) and use AJAX to connect the two. My question is, how should the coding process go.
I know that Javascript is supposed to be used as an extra kick, and should not be relied upon because it can be turned off. So, should I code the entire site in PHP, and then after all of that is done, add the JQuery code, or should I do both side by side?
If you decide to use AJAX as a core part of the site then you are basically excluding people without javascript which depending on your application can be a legitimate design decision. If you choose to do that then you should check if the user has JavaScript and warn them if they do not.
If you are requiring JavaScript you can develop with it simultaneously with the development of your server side code PHP code. If not, and JavaScript is just a UI enhancement it should be added in later.
Either way validating user input should always also be done on the server side in addition to the client side. All security related code should be only on the server side.
