jQuery Forum

I have been looking around to see if it's possible to  use the built in ajax object in jquery, to call a function in a php file.  I haven't found anything definate.

I would just like to call this function. what is the best way to achieve this.  I would like to add more functions to this php file in the future.

thanks

   {       
   $host = 'www.karoo.co.uk';
   $up = ping($host);       
   return ($up ? '<div class="ribbon green">OK</div>':'<div class="ribbon red">OK</div>');
   }
