Ajax breathes new life into web applications by transparently communicating and manipulating data in conjunction with a server-based technology. Of all the server-based technologies capable of working in conjunction with Ajax, perhaps none are more suitable than PHP, the world’s most popular scripting language.
Beginning Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional is the first book to introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to create next-generation applications. Author Lee Babin covers what you commonly encounter in daily web application development tasks, and shows you how to build PHP/Ajax-enabled solutions for forms validation, file upload monitoring, database-driven information display and manipulation, web services, Google Maps integration, and more.
You’ll also be introduced to other key topics like conquering cross-platform issues, countering potential security holes, and testing and debugging JavaScript with efficiency. All examples are based on real-world scenarios, so you’ll be able to apply what you learn to your own development situations.
What you’ll learn
- Take advantage of PHP and advanced JavaScript capabilities to create next-generation, highly responsive Web applications.
- Enhance commonplace application tasks such as forms validation and tabular data display.
- Manage cross-browser issues, ensuring your applications run on all major Web browsers.
- Take advantage of the Google Maps API and add spatial mapping features to your website.

On page 43:
in the code on page 43, I get an error for "strtolower ($names)" saying that $names cannot be an array.
I revised it to "arraytolower ($names)" and added the following function and then it works.
function arraytolower(array $array, $round = 0){
return unserialize(strtolower(serialize($array)));
}
