You can use JSON and PECL for data transfer with php

JSON http://www.json.org

Scroll down to the page to see some options that you have for PHP.

If you wanted to do something fast and simple, you can use the jquery get or post call to acheive the disired result:

jQuery GET: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/

The get and the post both have a call-back function which can be used to accept the result of loading your php page and then you can determine how to display it.

You should have a way or create a way to access that by going to a specific URL. So just create some JS that will call that URL. Best to use JQuery to make things easier. Then just manipulate the data all you want.

Try that .ajax function from JQuery. There are some great examples at http://visualjquery.com/. You can also get more details on it from http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Example:

var html = $.ajax({
  url: "some.php",
  async: false
}).responseText;

You could also use JQuery's load function:

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html');

How about something like this using jQuery's load()?

$('#result').load('http://myWebService/serviceName.php');

<div id="result"/>
