[jQuery] Calling PHP function with $.ajax()

[jQuery] Calling PHP function with $.ajax()


Hi,
Is there any way to call a php function directly with $.ajax()? I did
some search and the answer I've got varies from impossible to using
workarounds such as passing query string to the 'data' and let php
direct which function to call. I know that with asp.net it's possible
but i'm not familiar with PHP. Here is the code that works for me in
asp.net.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "Default.asp/Book",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: "{}",
dataType: "json",
success: AjaxSucceeded,
error: AjaxFailed
});
Thanks!
