Where can I learn to use PHP with AJAX?

Hi I have seen the AJAX course on here and I find it a real shame that they don't actually use a server side language with the project.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to show me where I can learn to use PHP with AJAX? I'm finding it really hard to understand AJAX concepts without learning the server side code also.

The instructor says that I can view other courses on Treehouse to learn how to develop the server side script however I am unable to find any.

Thanks, Nick

you just use ajax request to your php links.

$("button").click(function(){
    $.get("your_page.php", function(data, status){
        alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status);
    });
});
