PHP and Ajax - classes, utilities or tools

[Purple]

Hi,

I have been doing some work on bringing web apps to life using ajax.. I have tried the rather tedious hand coding using XMLHttpRequest etc.. I found Ext - extjs.com which appears to be fantastic until you try to implement it and then realise it requires a reasonable level of Javascript skills..

The Question is - any recommendations on classes, utilities or tools which allow the simple deployment of Ajax in php web delivered apps.

Thoughts, comments and links most welcome..

I can't vouch for this one way or the other 'cause I don't use it anymore [EDIT: but I liked it when I was using it.], but the Prototype framework has some nice Ajax functionality, plus a reasonably nice documentation site:

Thanks for that PBMODS - what are you using now or are you not doing PHP development at the moment ?

Hi,

I mainly use the AJAX of PEAR class. I feel its easy to use and easy to use for programming too.
