Ajax & PHP scripts

The popularity of Ajax is increasing day by day. One of the best example as used by google is google suggest. Here based on the user keywords entered at search box, google returns matching keywords or extension of this words as searched before by users.

Ajax the short form of asynchronous JavaScript and XML we will try to learn by studying some examples here. As you know Ajax is itself not a scripting language so we will be using our script PHP for programming here and other languages in different sections.
